THE LIZZIE BELL ENQUIRY.
(PEB PBES3 ASSOCIATION.) New Plymouth, August 2, Arbuckle, an apprentice, was allowed to sit while giving evidence owing to his swollen and blistered feet. He said that about 1115 Simmons told him there was land in sight. Witness, could not see whether it was land or a cloud. At his suggestion Simmons reported the matter to the second mate. Shortly after the captain called all hands on deck. Tiekell and Harding were also examined, but nave no fresh evidence of importance. Grant, captain of the Takapuna in port, to-day had been subpcemcd, but declined to leave his vessel owing to the state of the weather and the fear of the ship breaking her moorings. The Codrt decided, with the consent of counsel for Captain Reeves, to accept the contents of the New Zealand Pilot as expert evidence on the state of tides and currents in the straits
The decision, if possible, will be given on Monday.
