Docket No. 2196.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
on behalf of
George Robshaw,
Claimant,
v.
GERMANY.
BY THE COMMISSION: –
Edith Robshaw, a subject of Great Britain, 26 years of age, was lost on the Lusitania. This claim is put forward on behalf of her uncle, George Robshaw, a naturalized American citizen. The record fails to disclose whether or not the deceased was survived by either parents or brothers or sisters. The case has been considered in connection with Docket 2202 put forward on behalf of this same claimant, George Robshaw, for the death of his sister, nephew, and niece, this day decided.
No claim is made for property lost.
The claimant has failed to discharge the burden resting upon him of proving that the death of his niece has resulted in damages to him which can be measured by pecuniary standards.
Applying the rules and principles announced in the Lusitania Opinion, in Administrative Decision No. V, and in other decisions of this Commission to the facts as disclosed by this record, the Commission decrees that under the Treaty of Berlin of August 25, 1921, and in accordance with its terms the Government of Germany is not obligated to pay to the Government of the United States any amount on behalf of the claimant herein.
Done at Washington January 7, 1925.
