No. 221.

140 F.2d 157 (1944)

GOUMAS v. K. KARRAS & SON. THE KARRAS et al.

Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

January 26, 1944.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David P. Siegel, of New York City, for libelant-appellant.

Frederick H. Cunningham, of New York City, for respondent-appellees.

Before SWAN, CLARK, and FRANK, Circuit Judges.

FRANK, Circuit Judge.

There is no jurisdiction in admiralty except of a maritime contract, and the contract here was not of that character.1 The same considerations apply if the libel be regarded as stating a tort claim: It is not a maritime tort.
