Mr. Sheldon replied he was at a loss to understand this objection as there was no obligation on him to give details of any allegation in the preliminary act which was merely to guide the Court na to what the M.T.B. did. There was no necessity to give
an account of what the launch did.
Mr. Whyatt agreed that plaintiffs were not required to give any details in the preliminary act, but submitted that once they did so, they should be bound by it. Plaintiffs had stated in the preliminary net that the launch altered netther speed nor course and therefore they were not now entitled to adduce evidence contradicting this Atatement.
Mr. Sheldon then suggested that in order not to waste time he would ask Lieut. Harris not to give any question as he attach- answer to Bia ed not the slightest Importance to it. In answer to further questions, About Ave Lieut Harris sald That seconds before the collision, he saw The the launch turn to starboard, M.T.B. also turned to starboard about then Increased her

Petty OMeer T. Mitchell, who was coxswain of the M.T.B. at the time of the collision, said that at no time did the boat change her course to
