Suddenly, the leading tug attached to the Anadyr made for the Pootung side, and the steamer then seemed to be going to pass the barque on that side, but the distance being too little she struck the Ceres abaft the fore rigging. The Anadyr was going very slow at the time, and the cothelon was alight, the only damage, being a slight indentation where the barque was struck. She is taking in ten for New York, and it is not thought the damage she sustained will necessitate her going into dock. By waiting an hour, the Anadyr would have avoided the dit culty of passing the vessels when they were athwart the stream, and if she had done so, in all probability the mishap would not have happened.

Mr Brereton said the objection against Capt. Moss was that he was a friend of the plaintiff and a witness for the defence,

Mr Dennys said there was another ob- jeation against Capt. Moss. He did not speak Spanish so uently. (The plaintiff was Spanish and the defendant on Italian) After further discussion, it was finally arranged that Capt. Mose would lnterpret.

SUPREME COURT.

IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION. (Before Mr Justice SNOWDEN.) June 14, 1876.

See You, F. Moore, $144.-This was a claim for short delivery of goods.

Mr Brereton appeared for the plaintiff,

and Mr Johnson for the defendant.

Mr Fung Ming Shan, manager of the

been to the office of the agents to claim for the damage, and was told by Mr Roberts to send in a debit note. When he went again, he was shown the ship's log stating that the goods became decayed and were thrown overooard, and was told that the olaim could not therefore be paid,

This alosed the case for the plaintiff. Mr Johnson then briefly opened the case for the defendant. He said the plaintiff sued for short delivery, but his contention was the whole fungus was on board in its damaged state, and it was the plaintiff who refused to take delivery. Therefore there could be no short delivery. As to the damage, it was caused by the inherent defect in the goods themselves, and not by the neglect of the defendant. if so the defendant was distinctly exonerated by a special clause in the bill of lading from liability for damage arising from breakage

of bage, rust, burning and decay.

Capt. F. Moore stated that he bad been

Mr Brereton here suggested that the onse should be referred to Mr Linstead,

This proposition fell through also." The oase was then continued, and after a tedious but partial wading through of the different items of the bill, giving an account of the various kinds of work performed, the case was adjourned till Friday next at 2.30 p.m.
