[from our own correspondents.] DUNEDIN. February 2. A Court of Enquiry has absolved the captain of the County of Peebles from all blame for the Channel collision.
PORT CHALMERS. February 2.
A seaman of the barque August Freidrich, has been the victim of a murderous attack by Sue Don, the Japanese cook, who threw the man's dog overboard. Words and blows ensued, and the Japanese, getting worsted, seized a meat chopper, and inflicted a dreadful blow on the man Neilson's head, fracturing the skull. A second sailor was also cut across the arm by the Japanese, who was arrested by Sergeant Hauton. Dr. O'Donoghue attended Neilson, and found his skull fractured. He ordered his removal to the Dunedin Hospital.
