THE BRITISH COMMERCE DISASTER -THE COURT OF INQUIRY.
THE SECOND SUEZ CANAL CONTRACT. LONDON. July 11. At the inquiry before the Admiralty Court into the collision on April 24th between the ships British Commerce and County Aberdeen, in which the former was cut down and sunk, the decision given held that the master of the British Commerce was to blame for the accident. The English Government will guarantee funds and lands to provide capital for the construction of a second canal across the Isthmus of Suez, on the condition that Baron De Lesseps reduces the tariff, and appoints a British Naval Officer as Inspector of Navigation, and gives precedence to English pilots.
