The Robina Dunlop Inquiry. Wellington, August 2'J. Judgment was pronounced this morning in the inquiry into the wreck of the Ilobina Dunlop. The opinion of the Court was that the vessel was lost through the culpable neglect of the master, in not paying greater attention to the navigation of the ship and not taking proper soundings. The chief officer was also blameable for not paying better attention to the course and the distance made. The Court, therefore, suspended the captain's certificate for two years, and held that the chief officer merits severe censure. The Crown bears the expenses of the case. Under the 16th section of the Act the captain may apply to the Governor for a certificate of a lower grade. A largely attended meeting of licensed victuallers was held to-day, at which the city members were present. Both said they favored the principle of the Local Option Bill, but could not approve of the machinery for carrying it out. They declined to discuss the Bill in any place but Parliament. The result of the meeting was the appointment of a committee, who are to draw up clauses for insertion in the Bill as amendments which they consider will protect their interests without interfering with the principle of the Bill, and these will be submitted to the city members to lay before the House.
