Bvicre these appeals were perfected, it was consented to by the parties that the supplemental libel nig h be amended so that the claim for the loss of life should be $10,000 in each of the five cases, in- stend of $5,00U, The cicuit court (33 Fed, Rep., 107) made a like decree with toat of the district court, find- mg that both vessels were in fault for the col- lision, and dividing the damages and the costs ot béte courts between the respective parties, and dismissing the sup;lementul libel for tue loss of the lives, without costs of either cout to either purty, The sums awarded by the decree of the cir— cult court Were paid, and the libellants in the supplemeuial libel appealed to this euurt. The object of the appeal is to obtain a decree here that the Alaska is liable fur the loss uf five Jives, Tue vrouud alleged for the motion to dismiss the appeal is, that the sum in dispute as to each of the five lives is novsver the sum of $5,000, and, therefere, is not sufficient to give jarisdiction to this court. The view urged is, thut the wavuut originally claimed by the supplemental libel for the loss uf each of the five lives was $5,000; the sti; u ation in the sum vf $29,000, given to reease the Alaska from the five claims “was $3,000 for each claim, the amount in dispute ju each case being one-fifth AGENTS FOR WORTHINGTON STEAM PUMPS.
