BB. HAYES V, 5.5, " COLMORE? | From the Shangduï Times of 6th inst., we reproduce the concluding report of the case of 'Capt. E. B. Hayes against the'as. Culmors, che result of which was given in a special telegram in these columns last week
At H.B.M. Supreme Court yesterday morn ing before Sir Havilland de Saumarez, Judge, the case of Capt. E. B. Hayes versus the Cuimore or the proceeds thereof was continued Mr. R. E. Gregson appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. 1. E. P. Jones for the defendants,
Ia cross-examination Dong Ting, Kee said that on and December he did not give the captain a list of repairs necessary or an order for new articles to clean the ship. The captain gave witness the reference paper on 17th De cember and wanted witness to sign, the docu. ment to get other employment, saying that the more papers he got, the better chance he had of getting other employment.

Mr. Doug Ting-kee could have had this explained. to him. He chooses to put his chop upon it on behalf of the Ching Dah Steamship Com pany, as managing owner, without any such explanation being given to him. If he chooses to do that he must be held responsible at' all events for what he has done. He might be uafit for recommendation as a master and be Ar recommending somebody who entirely might put a seas.er or vessel into very con. siderable danger in consequence of giving . recommendation which would laduce the owner of that steamer to take an, incompetent master.

The question as to whether this action is properly brought on the Admiralty side of the Court is one into which I need not go, I wish to express no opinion on it as I have had no argument and I form no opinion. The action is brought by the captain against the ship and ho in substance asks for damages for wrongful dismissal. The defences raised by Mr. Jones are three first, that the dismissal is justified; FOUR-ROOMED HOUSES at PRAYA second, that he (plaintiff) accepted h sḍismissal;

and third, that there was no necessity for notice.

As regards the running OD shore plaintiff himself has explained that the engines of the ship did not go astern at once and it certainly seems to me that one engineer who canoot always be below-as is the case if there is only one engineer on board-is likely to lead to confusion, and, possible, mishaps. 1 cannot find that the captain is to blame. for this.
