The Court of Inquiry into the. late wrecks gave its decision yesterday. It attributed the accident to the Eliza Mary as having arisen owing to the mistaken estimation of the draught of the vessel, or that the channel of the river was not so deep as supposed. With regard tot-lie Paterson, the Court considered that she was too large a boat for the river. No one connected with the wrecks is accused ■of negligence. August 10. At Waitara a heavy fresh came down the river which, with n north-easterly gale on Sunday, parted the steamer Paterson in two, making her a complete wreck. All hopes of saving the wreck are now abandoned.
