ARRESTED SHIP SAILS
£11,178 Paid Into Court (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 29. The motor-vessel Pacific Pefirl, arrested on March 26 by the attachment to her foremast of a writ issued out of the Supreme Court acting in its Admiralty jurisdiction, has been released and has sailed from Wellington. The writ related to a claim by Dalgety and Company, Ltd., alleging that £11,178 5s 6d was due to it for goods and services supplied to the ship. The Court stated today that the ship had been freed after the owners had paid into Court the amount in dispute, with a denial of liability. The Pacific Pearl was formerly the Holmdale, which, after 34 years’ service in the New Zealand coastal trade, was sold last year to the Crescent Corporation and registered under her new name in Liberia. When arrested she was loading scrap metal for Japan.
