The London corrn«poiificnt of the "Otago Daiiv Times," wviliint under date March 29, s'avs:-in October last the Xuw Zealand Shipping Compaiiy'd Tongariro. having hcen up to Newcastle for coal for the voyage to Xev; Zealand, was returning to London to clear for the voyage when -die had the misfortune to collide in a fog with the British Petroleum Company s pier at Put-fleet, doing great damage. The Petroleum Company, or course, sued for damnges. and Uio New Zealand Snip-niii-T Company put up the uefenee thai the was at the time under compulsory priotase. and that the aeeident was solely the fault of the nilol. The plaintifTs contested this on the ground that the '.iongariro .being merely In ballast, was exempt from the compulsory pilotage provisions. Mr. Justice P.tirgrave Deont found for tho Petroleum Company. The iiuostioii, he said, was whether a vessel which was can-vine more than enough coal to lake her 'from one port to another was really ill ballast. The Tongariro was _ only down three-eighths of her dead-weight— 3550 tons out of 10,COO-aud there was nothing on board earning freight. She hart taken the coal on at Newcastle for her voyage to -New /Zealand, lint- i ; he had to clear from London. Bunker coals must surely be clashed as stoics. As a, matter of fact, she would require more than sue had taken on board to carry her ail the way to Port Chalmers. The coals were not merchandise cnniiuc frcielit. Suppose a sailing ship had a duplicate set of sails and un-niailc-nn canvas. on board. Could there be said to bo anything but stores? From any point of view could llii-i ship be raid to be carrying; cargo? If not. she was in ballast. It was not laid down how much ballast she must have—he presumed might be loaded down to the load lino. TliCiO extra coals of the Tong-.riro were all to he consumed in her own furnaces, and he held her to lie iu Imllnst. .litdgmenl was therefore for the plaiiitiffu. THE MAFOUP.IRA, At 8 o'clock on Wednesday night, the Manouvika arrived nt YVoslport from Wellington, via Nelson. She sailed again three hours lalcr for Crcvmoulli, at which poi-t she arrived at 4.20 a.m. yesterday. The vessel is timed to sail at 2 o'clock this morning on the return trip. The Flora, is due to-day. from Timaru direct. She is lo sail for Wostport and Greymouth. at noon on Saturday. Tlio llaupiri is espeeted to reach Gisboine from Auckland either to-morrow or Sunday. Tito vc.~:el is due hero on Wednesday next. The Kverlon Grange was to have left I'ieton last evening for Timaru. Mr. William--, purser of the Kowhai, left the vc--ol at I'ieton on Wednesday, and is to join the 'J'e Anau as purser at Wellington on .Monday next. Sir. W.
