ERROR OF JUDGMENT
SYDNEY HARBOUR COLLISION. FINDING OF MARINE COURT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.; (Received This Day, 9.25 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Commonwealth Court of Marine Inquiry found that the harbour collision of September 23, between a freighter and the tug Hero, resulting in the latter being sunk and an engineer drowned, was due to an error of judgment on the part of the tug master Osborne Weldon, in keeping too close to the freighter, but that it could not be said that he was guilty of negligence. Efforts are now being made to raise the tug, which lies in 130 feet of water.
