Description

The libellants let the ship Hemisphere by charter-party to David Ogden on a voyage from Liverpool to New York. The covenants which are the subject of this litigation are briefly as follows: 'Ogden, to furnish a full cargo of general merchandise, and not exceeding 513 passengers, to pay 1,500 for the use of the ship, to have fifteen running lay days, and for every day's detention beyond that to pay one hundred dollars.' The libel demands $700 as demurrage for seven days, and for a balance yet due on the contract. The answer denies any liability for demurrage, admits that the whole amount of 1,500 has not been paid, and charges libellants with breaches of their charter-party, and damages in consequence thereof exceeding the balance claimed by them.
