No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Bennett
By the Court, Bennett, J.
The bark Sacramento was not a vessel used in navigating the waters of this state. Macondray, the only witness who speaks upon the subject, says that the only way in which the bark was so used, was in sailing from the ocean into the harbor of San Francisco. Under precisely the same'state of facts, we held in the case of the Sea Witch, that a vessel which was used in navigating the high seas for its principal occupation was not embraced within the provisions of the Attachment Act of this state, authorizing the issuing of attachments against vessels used in navigating the waters of this state. That case controls this, and the judgment must therefore be reversed.
Ordered accordingly.
