Description

This appeal relates wholly to costs in the District Court. The libelant had a decree there which was, on appeal, reversed with half costs to the appellant. See The James McWilliams (C.C.A.) 42 F.2d 130. The original decree had contained an item allowed for detention which was held to have been improperly proved. An opportunity was provided for the libelant to offer proof in the District Court in support of its detention claim in accordance with the principles held to be applicable to such proof. It did not see fit to avail itself of this opportunity, but delayed until that court entered an order dismissing its claim unless it proceeded to prove it within a time fixed. As the libelant did not comply with the terms of this order and offered no proof within the time limited, its claim was finally dismissed. Thereafter such proceedings were had that a final decree was entered for the libelant awarding to it only the damages to which it had been held to have been entitled on the evidence originally introduced. This decree, however, provided that it recover the same costs that were allowed to it in the original District Court decree which had contained as a substantial part of the award the item for detention that eventually was disallowed in toto. Thus it appears that, although the libelant was defeated in the District Court in respect to a substantial part of its claim, it has nevertheless been there awarded in full the costs occasioned by its first and only unsuccessful attempt to prove detention damages.
