Description
Messrs. Cushing and Drew, for the plaintiff in error. Even if the State court could entertain a personal action against the owner, it had no jurisdiction over the vessel by conservatory writ and proceeding in rem to enforce a maritime lien by seizure before judgment. This is settled in The Moses Taylor,1 and in The Hine v. Trevor.2 Having no jurisdiction, therefore, over the vessel in a proceeding in rem, the judicial bond given in that court for its delivery was null and void; and the court having no authority of law, or jurisdiction over the subject-matter, the order of the court to bond is also an absolute nullity.
