Decision' Reversed.
In the Court of Appeal the view of their Lordshipa differed from that of Mr. Justice Bateson. While entertaining no doubt that the de- fendants, the Harbour Commis- sioners and harbour master, were be
doing what they believed to within their powers and in the best interests of the port and the ves- sels using it, the defendants had, in the opinion of their Lordships, exceeded the powers given by Sec- tion 52 of the Harbours, Docks and Piers Clauses Act, 1847.
The point involved is not one on which much" guidanca can be ob- | tained from previous judgments, and in the new decision the parti- eular circumstances were dealt with. To that extent the ruling ia of limited interest, but it may be gathered from the judgments that the directions which a harboür mas- ter is by this statute authorised to give are specific directions on à particular occasion, and, so far ag the case determines the principles to be applied in considering a ques- tion of the extent of a harbour master's powers, it is noteworthy.
