MORGAN v. UNITED STATES

Not in source.

81 U.S. 531 (1872)

14 Wall. 531

20 L.Ed. 738

MORGAN, v. UNITED STATES.

Supreme Court of United States.

November 18, 1872.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Messrs. N. Chipman, Carlisle, and McPherson, for the claimants.

Mr. C.H. Hill, Assistant Attorney-General, contra.

Mr. Justice DAVIS delivered the opinion of the court.

These claimants cannot recover, on the ground that the injuries to their vessel were occasioned by the tortious act of the quartermaster at Brazos in compelling their master, against his better judgment, to proceed to sea; nor would their condition be improved if the vessel had been actually impressed into the service of the United States, for in neither case would the Court of Claims have jurisdiction.
