A brief discussion followed, in which satisfac. tion was generally exprasmi at the progress which the company had made, but it was sug. gested that this commercial element at the board was not sufficiently strong.
Sir Walter Phillimore, Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Seth Smits appeared for the olears and crew of the Falcon; Mr. Kennedy, C., and Mr. Pick- ford for the Coen Stesmship Coupaay; Mr. Myburgh, Q.C, and Dr. Baikes for the owners of a quantity of quicksilver, who were she only owners of cargo represented.
The President now gave judgment in repeat of the clain of the offiours and arew of the Falcon, to whom he awarded 21,000. With regard to the claim of the On Steamship: Company, the learned Judge reforred the matter to the Registrar to ascertain which of the charges - legod to have been incurred in salving and realis- tpg the argo were properly chargeable against the cargo and which against the ahip.
