The court decided that it was incessary to hear Ms. Garth, who represented the fritish India Steam Navigation Company, the owners of the india; also Mr. Sorab, who appeared for the part commissioners as owners of the

The Russian semi-official paragraphist more than hints that the change of tone was due to the preparations set on foot by Russia.
The following composed the jury: --Meysis. J. M. de Carvailie, J. H. Maclehuse, J. M. de Silva, J. Wheeley, T. Skinner, A. G. G. Gordon, and C. Perkins.
