WELLINGTON.
Tbo Rival Captains.
This day.
-Captain Malcolm, in giving evidence before the Nautical Court yesterday, said the Taiaroa was kepi on the usual course, and that the Hiriemoa should have passfd him on the port side. He mentioned that the helm was steadied to give the Hinemoa room. The Court gave judgment this morning, being of opinion that the conduct of both captains added to the cause of the collision, and Captain Fairchild should not have attempted to pass the Taiaroa at Cape Home ; the Court is also of opinion that the collision might have been avertod if Captain Malcolm had steadied the helm of the Taiaroa a little sooner. The Bench did not think it a case where it was necessary to cancel or suspend the certificate of either captains.
