claimed on taxation before the clerk and disallowed. The proctor "now moves the court to allow the 'li8ua.f costs to libelant and libel. ant's proctor." The "usUal" costs in summary cases were allowed and taxed by the clerk. What I suppose the motion is intended to 'etIect is a special allowance of proctor's costs under the rule above stated. To justify the court in doing this, something should appear in the case to distinguish it from ordinary summary proceed· ings. I do not find anything to so distinguish it. It was the libelant's privilege to have the testimony heard in court, instead of having it taken before a commissioner, but he elected to pursue the latter course. Whether this was more burdensome than hearing· it in court would have been, I do not know, nor is it imporcant. The motion must be dismissed. THE UMBRIA. OUNARD STEAMSIDP CO., Limited, v. COATES.

Motions to modify order for mandate. Denied. For report of the decision on the appeals, see 59 Fed. 489. PER CURIAM. In these CaBe8 we conclude that, upon an a1Ilrm.. ance by this court on an appeal from a decree of the district court in favor of the libelant, the libelant, when appellee, is entitled to interest on the whole decree, in the absence of special circumstances to induce the court to disallow interest. We adopt the rille followed in The Blenheim, 18 Fed. 47, and disapprove that followed in Deems v. Canal Line, 14 Blatchf. 474, believing the doctrine of The Blenheim to be founded on better reason. As to costs, the appellant was put to the necessity of an appeal to secure a proper modification of the decree. If the libelants had made the Iberia a party, and insisted upon a decree against her as well as the Umbria, such as they would have been entitled to according to The Alabama and Game Cock, 92 U. S. 695, they could urge with reason that they should not be charged with the costs. 01 the Umbria's appeal. Not having done 80, there is no good reason why the appellant shall be required to bear the costs of a necessary appeal. to modify the order for a mandate are denied, except The as to the clerical error in the Dollard caae.
