The Imperial Chinese, Govern ment, Owners of the crater Quangial, from, His Britannic Majesty's Supreme Court for China and Korea; delivered the 4th August, 1905,

(Delivered by Sir J. Gorell Bames] This is an Appeal from the Supreme Court for China and Korea at Shanghai in a suit which arose in consequence of a disastrous collision which occurred between the ChinesS cruiser Quangtai, belonging to the Imperial Chinese Government, and the British Royal Mail steamer Empress of India, belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, about 11.48 pm. on the 17th August,, 1903, off the coast of China, between the Lamocks and Breaker Roint. The cruiser received such injuries that she sank in about an hour and forty minutes after the collision. The mail steamer in the meantime stood by and sent boats to the rescue of those on board | the cruiser, and did all that could be done to save life; 171 out of a total of 184 were saved. Unfortunately, the commander of the cruiser, who was on the bridge and in charge of her navigation at the time of the collision, and for some time before, was among those who were drowned when the cruiser sank, so that his evi- dence was not forthcoming.
A suit was instituted by the Imperial Chinese Government, the owners of the Quaṇtai, agaiol the owners of the Empress of India, for the recovery of the amount of damages sustained by the Plaintiffs (Respondents) in consequence of the said collision, and this suit was heard before Sir Hiram Shaw Wilkinson, the Chlaf, Justice of the Supreme Court, assisted by Nautical Assessors, in November 1903, and the learned Judge afterwards found that the Empress of India was alone to blame for the collision, and pronounced the usual decres against her owners and their bail for the dam. ages sustained by the Plaintiffs, and costs, with ] the usual reference to the Registrar and mer
