1. Under section 33 of the Act of Congress of 1920, 41 Stat. at Large 1007, which provides that in actions of trespass for injuries, jurisdiction may be under the court of the district "in which defendant resides or in which his principal office is located," the action may be brought in either a federal court or a court of common pleas of Pennsylvania, inasmuch as there are judicial districts both of the United States and of Pennsylvania.
2. An action of trespass for injuries sustained on defendant's vessel in the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, will be dismissed where it appears that the defendant is a foreign corporation having its principal office in another state.
