Warehouse, not being the registered owner, was not entitled to file the Acknowledgement of Service as 'owners of the vessel'; Ince & Co., having acted for Warehouse and not having represented that they acted for the registered owners, did not breach a warranty of authority and therefore were not liable for the plaintiffs' wasted costs; the appeal was dismissed and the orders of Reyes J were upheld insofar as they set aside the Acknowledgement and provided for costs against Warehouse.
