GREYCLIFFE CLAIM BEFORE THE COURT
MORE EVIDENCE WANTED ACTION FOR £30,000 PENDING (United P.A.—By Telegraph Copyright) SYDNEY, Wednesday. An echo of the Greycliffe disaster was heard to-day when an application arising out of a pending action by Sydney Ferries, Limited, claiming £30,000 from the Union Steam Ship Company, for the loss of the Greycliffe, was made to Chief Justice Street. The Union Company applied for a commission to examine material witnesses in London. These are Professor Hillhouse and Mr. J. Semple. Th evidence is desired to test that submitted by the naval architect, Mr. Thompson, at the Marine Court of Inquiry regarding the operation of interactive forces and bow-wave repulsion between the Greycliffe and the Tahiti immediately before the collision.
For the Sydney Ferries it was contended that the Union Company had called two experts to give evidence on the points involved. The granting of a commission would cause undue delay and .deprive plaintiffs of the right to cross-examine the experts in Britain. Decision was reserved.
