The Ringarooma Inquiry.
CAPTAIN AND ALL OFFICERS ACQUITTED. [Per Press Association.] Christchurch, August 25. The decision in the Ringarooma inquiry was given on Saturday. The Court found that the Ringarooma had steered her usual course till about 20 miles off the Banks’ Peninsula, but there a set-off current had carried her nearer inland than was supposed. Though the lead might have been heaved oftener, yet when the vessel struck everything was done by the captain to ensure the safety of the vessel and her passengers. The discipline of the crew seems admirable. They would direct that the eertifi lates of the captain and officers be returned to them. They would not direct the costs to be given against the captain.
