General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
While one carrying on private business may be answerable for the tort of another to whom he entrusts part of the work, he is not answerable for the torts of one whom he cannot select, control or discharge.
The member of a pilot association recognized by state statute and to which every pilot licensed by the state belongs, are not to be held liable as partners to owners of piloted vessels for the negligence of each other, because the association collects the fees for pilotage and, after paying certain expenses, distributes them to those on the active list according to the number of days they have been on duty. So held as to Virginia Pilot Association.

The facts are stated in the opinion.
