SHIPPING DISPUTE

American Mail Line Lodges Claim For Damages

The American Mali Line yesterday brought a claim for damages against the East Asiatic Co., as a result of the collle- sion in Hong Kong Harbour on December 14, 1934 between the President Jefferson and the sa, Africa in which two steamers suffered damages. The case had been heard in Chambers for several days past where formal evidence was takon and yesterday it was brought out in the Supreme Court where legal argument were advanced by Mr. F. C. Jenkin. K. C., Instruct- ed by Mr. D. H. Blaké, of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist for the American Mall Line and Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C.. and Mr. H. C. Macnamara instructed by Mr. O.E.C. Marton, of Messrs. Den- cons apeared for the East Asiatic Co., a counter claim for dam- zxes was brought by, the defendant,

For Those Interested

Mr. Jently who opened the case said that the facts had been taken already but for the benefit of those who are interested in the case and not acquainted with it he would go briefly over the whole matter.

The claim acrose out of a collision between the sa. President Jeffer- son and the as. Africa just before noon on Saturday, December 14, 1934. The President Jefferson was a ship of just over 14,000 gross tonnage and the Atrika 8.500. The first-named the of The length

ence had stated that he Was ignorant of the signal, but

ad- mitted his knowledge as to where it was put. He further stated that his ship was going to A- chor at Buoy A4 and that this was his concern.

The next point from the plead- ings, was as to the relative post- tions of the ships when the an- chor of the President Jefferson

was dropped. The Captain of the President Jefferson had said that the anchor was dropped towards Buoy A8 and that at that time
