VICE-ADMIRALTY COURT.
Wednesday, March 29. (Before Deputy-Judge Williams.) THE TAIAROA SALVAGE CASE. Houghton and Co. v. Galbrutb and Co.— In this case, an action on behalf of the owners of the s.s. Express to recover from the owners of the s.s. Taiaroa tbe sum of L 9,000, salvage on the latter vessel, his Honor delivered judgment. His Honor, after going through the evidence at great length and commenting upon the arguments of the counsel engaged in the case, said he-was of opinion that the s.s. Taiaroa would, without assistance, have reached Bluff Harbor in four hours and a half longer time than the s.s. Express took to tow her there in, and that the s.s. Express in towing in the s.s. Taiaroa ran no risk, but had merely rendered her services for the space of three hours. Judgment would be given for the promoters for the sum of Ll2O, with costs. Mr Smith, for the promoters, asked leave to appeal to the Privy Council, which was granted.
