He had no time, however, to try these cases, even on the question of damages. It was mentioned by Mr J. R. Reed that the steamer Mamari. had specially come to New Zealand so that /mk,'- the officers could give evidence, and he suggested that their statements might be used in the other cases. Mr Cotter, representing the defendants, said he was quite content. The principal action will commence ■on Monday, June 17th.
