stituted proceedings under §§ 4283 et seq., Rev. Stat., cannot proceed in admiralty in a separate suit, and must prove his claim in the limited liability proceeding. Ib.
5. Limitation of liability proceeding; monition as injunction against proceedings in other courts on claims against vessel owners. The issuing of an injunction in the limited liability proceeding is not necessary to stop proceedings in other courts on claims against the vessel or its owners. Power to grant an injunction exists under § 4283, Rev. Stat., but when the procedure required by rule 54 has been followed, the monition itself has the effect of a statutory injunction. (Providence & N. Y. Steamship Co. v. Hill Mfg. Co., 109 U. S. 578.) Ib.
6. Limited liability proceedings; claims included in.
Under §§ 4283, 4284, Rev. Stat., as amended by § 18 of the act of June 26, 1884, 23 Stat. 55, c. 12, any and all debts and liabilities of the owner incurred on account of the ship without his privity or fault are included in the limited liability proceeding, including claim for salvage after collision. (Richardson v. Harmon, 222 U. S. 96.) Ib.
7. Fifty-fourth rule; object not to be defeated.
The manifest object of the fifty-fourth rule in admiralty cannot be defeated solely because its enforcement might involve expense, delay or inconvenience. Ib.
8. Collision; towage; analogy of claim for, to one for repairs. Quare: Whether liability for towage into port of a vessel after collision is a claim like one for repairs by reason of the collision for which the owners of the injured vessel may recover from guilty colliding vessel. Ib.
9. Salvage service; preference of claims for, quære as to.
Quare: Whether a highly meritorious salvage service, benefiting alike the owner and creditors of a vessel, is entitled to preference from the fund. Ib.

APPEAL AND ERROR.
1. From Court of Claims; rule governing.
The general rule governing appeals is applicable to appeals from the Court of Claims. United States v. Ellicott, 524.
2. From Court of Claims; second decree after passage of act of Congress appealable.
As after a decree of the Court of Claims in favor of the petitioner an
act of Congress was passed, and the court made another decree granting the same relief, the second decree was a decision upon the effect of the subsequent legislation, and an appeal lies therefrom if taken within the time prescribed by law. Cherokee Nation v. Whitmire, 108.
3. From Court of Claims; timeliness of.
Held, that under the circumstances of this case, and the proceedings taken thereon, appellants' appeal was taken in time. Ib.
4. Writ of error to state court; scope of review.
On writ of error to the state court this court may examine the entire record, including the evidence, to determine whether what pur- ports to be a finding of fact is not so involved with, and dependent upon, questions of Federal law, as to be really a decision thereof. Kansas City Southern Ry. Co. v. Albers Commission Co., 573.
In this case the finding of the state court as to a rate charged by an interstate carrier necessarily involved the interpretation and con- struction of the Interstate Commerce Act, and this court can examine the evidence and ascertain for itself the validity of the rate under the statute.
6. Questions for review; to what extent finding of citizenship of party dis- missed from suit reviewable.
Errors assigned as to finding of citizenship of a party dismissed from the suit at instance of appellant are not here for review except as to the force and effect to be given to a decree pro confesso against other defendants before dismissal of the bill. Cuebas v. Cuebas, 376.
7. Appeal from order dismissing bill for injunction; disposition where thing sought to be restrained accomplished.
Where pending trial below and hearing of appeal the object unsuccess- fully sought to be enjoined has been accomplished-in this case the erection of a building by a bank-the only ground left for further prosecution is costs, and the appeal will be dismissed. Wingert v. First National Bank, 670.
8. Mandate; opinion as part of.
A direction in the mandate that the court below proceed in accordance with the opinion operates to make the opinion a part of the mandate as completely as though set out at length. Metropolitan Water Co. v. Kaw Valley District, 519.
9. To Circuit Court of Appeals from District Court in habeas corpus proceeding.
Where the District Court takes jurisdiction and proceeds to determine
the merits in a habeas corpus proceeding, the respondent can carry the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals. Tang Tun v. Edsell, 673.
10. From interlocutory order; Court of Appeals may direct dismissal bill.
On appeal from a mere interlocutory order the Circuit Court of Ap- peals may direct the bill to be dismissed if it appears that the complainant is not entitled to maintain his suit. Metropolitan Water Co. v. Kaw Valley District, 519.
