Dunedin, Friday. It having been stated that the insurance offices refuse to pay to the South British the amount of its re-insurances on the loss of the Czarewitch, the Guardian says :—“ We understand that the South British never raised any objection to the payment of the poliey on the loss of the vessel, but was warned by the other companies that its doing so would prejudice the case pending between the underwriters and the Superintendent. In accordance with ! such request the South British refrained from paying until the case was decided, but thereupon forthwith paid over a cheque for the full amount. Now the other four companies refuse to pay their quota, and it is reported that in case the South British presses for payment, a ring will be formed by the other insurance ! companies, with the object of refraining from; doing any kind of business with the South British.” Port Chalmers, Friday. ..
