Ih a communication ofHhe 7th lost, you submit Tor consideration of the Depart¬ ment the case of the eiirolluicntof the steam¬ er Ten Broeck. It appears that a Mr. Ohl«, of Minneapolis. Minn., sold the Ten Broeck to Johil McCaffrey, ot Le Claire, Iowa, and a bill of sale sotting forth that fact has been produced to you lor record and as a basis for the enrol'meiitot the steamer in McCaffrey's mime. Olds puiuhnsed the steamer of Gilles¬ pie A Hirper, uud she had been enrolled at St. Paul, In the names of the last named parties as sole ownei p After Olds made the purchase he conveyed her without enroll¬ ment to McCaffrey, and Olds' bill of sale recites only the enrollment In the name ot Gillespie & Harper. You ask if you shall enroll her as owned by McCaffrey, with no other enrollment recited than that In the name of Gillespie & Harpor. You are Informed that the department has frequently hold that if there have been several successive owners of vessel, and If thernrst In the series of owners shall have taken out marine docu¬ ments, and all the rest but one ilmll not Inrvo taken bucIi documents (register, enrollment or license,) the last purchaser may receive documents on producing a blllof sale reciting the only or last document Issued. (Synopsis ol doclsioiiB, 4,000.) No law forbids the transfer of a vessel through a line of many successive owners, and where many trans¬ fers have been made without the document¬ ing of the vessel, it would be practically absuid to require parties whoso Conveyances had been long before made to take out docu nacnts, nnd equally ilnwlie to deny docu¬ ments to the last purchaser, unless he should produce a bill of sale from tho last vendor leelling a document that novui;cxlsted.. The rule, thercfoic, Is that tho bill of sale, whU,h , Is to bu the basis of new marine documents, shall recite the last document Issued; other ultfv, a vessel might be debaired Irom umplo)mcnt till her ilnuirucnintlnn should bo authorized by Cungicss.
