 733 PEDEBAL EEPOBTKB. �under the first exception, I shall assume that this is the only point wiiich the claimant desires to make. �XJpon this question I cannot distinguiah the case from that of The Onore, 6 Ben. 564, in which it was held that the serv- ices of a cooper, in putting the cargo in order for delivery, performed partly on the ship and partly on the wharf, were maritime services. The reasons for this conclusion are given at length in the case of The Windermere, ante, 722. �As Judge Benedict says, in The Onore: "Many maritime contraets are performed on land and by persons having no immediate connection with the sea. The services in ques- tion are maritime, because they are a necessary part of the maritime service which the ship renders to the cargo, and without which the object of the voyage would not be aocom- Dlished." �Exceptions overruled, with leave to answer. ����
