His lordship came to the conclusion that the whole cause of the collision was due to bad navigation on the part of the Normandie, which vessel was alone in fault, and that she was Bable for all the damages caused by the collision and the costs. The owners of the Normandie appealed to the Privy Council on the ground that the Judge was wrong in his interpretation of Articles 18, 23, and 14 of the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, which the Patla had neglected the morning of April 314, 1846, in fine and clear to abay. The collision happened about 5.40 on weather, off Pootung Polat, where the river is divided by a row of buoys into two channels.
