Case No. 7,480.

JONES v. The MASSACHUSETTS.

[Cited in Bulgin v. The Rainbow, Case No. 2,116, where it is distinguished from the case at bar, and stated to have been dismissed, as, the contract sued on having been made on land and the damage done in port, the cause was one for common-law jurisdiction exclusively. The suit was on a bill of lading of goods at Havana to be delivered at Charleston. The goods were delivered, but it was alleged that part of them were injured in Charleston Harbor.]

[Nowhere reported. The original records of this, the district court for the district of South Carolina, prior to 1860, have been lost or destroyed. The only record preserved of this case is a journal entry as follows: “The court decreed that the plea in bar exhibited in the case to the jurisdiction of the court be sustained, and that the libel be dismissed.”]
