Court, because they would not serve a notice on the master, These rules clearly showed that the Legislature only intended that enquirion should be held where msalers and officers exist. No special nautical knowledge was required in a cass like this. Moreover, it was not the function of the Court, nor was it policy, for a Marine Court to prejudice any fature proceedings. If this enquiry proceeded, it would prejudice future proceedings which were threatened as to the fire. In any further procesding the question of the fire would have to be gons into again, and the only good anybody would possible derive from this would be that the other side would know what evidence they would have to get over in order to bring that threatened claims home to. them. That was knowledge to which they were not entitled under the circumstances.
The President alto recommends a law giving greater freedom of combination to those engaged in promoting foreign commeros than the present laws against monopoly permit. This opportunity may pass if there is any delay in action.
