The nautical court of inquiry concerning tile collision between the collier Hikurangi, and the scow Havoc (whit h was being towed by the launch Orcre, in AYaitcinata Harbour, on the night of April 2) delivered its finding to-day. The Court decided that the cause ol tlie casualty was that, owing to the position of the master' of the llikurangi on his vessel, lie did not have a good look-out, and did not see Hie lights of tho Havoc, as a look-out in a favourable position would have seen them. Further, that the master of the Hikurangi made an error of judgment in endeavouring to keep the course between what he took to he a vessel at anchor or a vessel proceeding in the same direction, and the shore; and in keeping his speed in these circumstances.

The Court ordered Captain G. N. George, master of tho Hikuraiv.'i, to pay three-quarters of the cost of the inquiry, and the Harbour Boaid, as owners of the Havoc and Orere. to pay the remaining quarter. Capt. George s certificate was returned to him.
