Wellington, June 15,

The Phoebe arrived yesterday from the south. The ship Golden Sea sailed yesterday for Lyttelton. Arrived Luna, from Manukau. Passengers —Lady Fergusson, Captain and Mrs Fergus, son, Rev Mr Hare and suite. His Excellency is on board his yacht, which the Luna towed out of Manukau. He goes to Nelson, where he makes a short stay.

lu a shipping case heard in the Resident Magistrate’s Court, respecting damage done to the barque Anne Melhuish by the Golden Sea, while in charge of pilot Anderson, the question of liability turned upon the legal status of pilot. He had been examined as to competency by the harbor master and Captain Johnston, and was appointed under the Superintendent’s hand to

act as harbor pilot. The Bench however held that the document produced was not a license according to the requirements of the Act, and that in consequence of his nonpossession of a certificate of competency, the pi’ot and captain of the Golden Sea were liable at common law for the damage done. Verdict accordingly. A survey was held this morning upon the barque Cheverot, by the harbor master, andj Captain M‘lntyre, on her seaworthiness They found that her masts are very bad, and decided that she must be fresh caulked and repaired here before going south. The job will probably last a fortnight. As some difficulty occurred in getting the crew to work or go to sea in her, they have all been paid off.
