Sydney, Setp 4 At the Marine Court inquiry into tbe wreok of the Alexa, Captain Woelling de posed that ths vessel struck early in the morning before daylight, but the moon was shining brightly. The mate had charge »t the time, he haviug gone below for a minute or two, after giving orders that a sharp look out be kept. When the mate oal'ed him he saw breakers under the bow. Ho tried to round the vessel, bud there was a naaty sea. and Bhe struck heavily. According to the chart) bhe current was running a knob an | honr ; witneßa estimated it at four knots.' The look out man deposed thai; be saw broken water a miie ahead, and gave warning. Two other witnesses gave evidence that they heard no warning, The Court found that assuming tho captain's account to ba correct, he exercised due care, and was in no way to blame, bats was deceived by the current, ] However, in the absence of the mate, and of j further evidence as to the strength of the current, the Court would express no opinion in regard to the navigation of the vessel. It was very questionable, according to hie owe account, whether the look out mm was properly doing his duty before the vessel struck!

Ml* Watson quoted the Munlolpal Corpora tion Act of 1376: He also quoted the Town Boards Act), 1881, to show what power the Eoad Boards had to cbarge for channelling done in front of a person's property. His worship reserved his decision,
