SHIP AND SHIPPER.
An interesting case was heard in the District Court Christchurch, yesterday. A firm had some cement on board the Abernyte at Lyttelton, 260 casks of which were detained on board some time. They sued for £2OO damages, having had to buy cement at a loss to make up an order while their own was detained. The captain said it was the practice of vessels to keep some of the heavier cargo on board for “ stiffening” until it was replaced. The Judge decided that the captain had no business to consult his own convenience to the detriment of the owners of cargo, and gave judgment for £l2 10s, the actual loss in buying other cement.
