JUDICIAL DECISIONS INVOLVING QUESTIONS OF INTER

NATIONAL LAW

AMERICAN AND BRITISH CLAIMS ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL

AWARD IN THE MATTER OF THE EASTRY

CLAIM NO. 3

[Arbitrators: M. Henri Fromageot, Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, Hon. Chandler P. Anderson]

Decision rendered May 1, 1914

This is a claim presented by His Britannic Majesty's Government on behalf of Messrs. Sivewright, Bacon and Co., of Manchester, England, against the Government of the United States for the sum of eight hundred forty-nine pounds eight shillings nine pence (£849/8/9) with interest at four per cent (4%) for nine and a half years, i. e., from December 9, 1902, the date on which His Majesty's Government first brought the claim to the notice of the United States Government, to April 26, 1912, the date of the confirmation of the first schedule of the Pecuniary Claims Convention, viz., three hundred twenty-three pounds (£323), making a total of one thousand one hundred and seventy-two pounds, eight shillings, nine pence (£1,172/8/9).

By the certificate of registry, produced at the request of this Tribunal, it appears that the steamship Eastry, belonging to Messrs. Sivewright, Bacon and Co., was in June, 1901, a British ship.

It is admitted by both parties that, at that date, the Eastry was under time charter to one Simmons by whom she had been sublet to the Compania Maritima, a company then under contract with the United States Government to carry a cargo of coal to be delivered at Manila Bay.

It appears by the logbook of the Eastry, and it is not contested, that she arrived and anchored at Cavite, Manila Bay, on June 7, 1901, and that, on the same and following days, i. e., on June 7, 8, 13 and 15, she was damaged by certain coal hulks that came alongside to take off her
