equivalent to the said share of the barge-hire thus rendered unnecessary. In the collision action which ensued both ships were held to blame, and the owners of the U. recovered from the defendants a half share of all the loss which they had sustained in consequence of the collision. The plaintiffs now claimed to recover from the defendants half the sum payable by themselves under the above agreement:-Held, that the plaintiffs could not recover the sum claimed because it was too hypothetical and the agreement to pay it was not a direct consequence of the collision, and because the owners of the U. (to whom, if at all, the sum was due) had already recovered from the defendants the full share which the law allowed to them of all the loss which they had sustained in consequence of the collision. The Minnetonka, 62.

-Failure of Master to Stay by Collision "deemed to have been caused" by Default of Master-Proof to the contrary."]-Where it has been found that a collision was caused solely by the fault of the pilot compulsorily in charge of a ship, and that the master of that ship failed to stay by the other ship and comply with section 422 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, the collision is not to be "deemed to have been caused" by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of such master because "proof to the contrary" has been given within the meaning of the said section. The Queen (38 L. J. Adm. 39; L. R. 2 A. & E. 354) followed. The Sussex, 73.

-County Court Jurisdiction "Damage by
collision"-Damage by Ship to Pier.]-The
County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Act,
1868, s. 3, provides that any County Court
having Admiralty jurisdiction shall
jurisdiction to try and determine any claim
for "damage by collision":-Held, that this
extend to
Admiralty jurisdiction does not
damage done by a ship or vessel to some other
object not a ship or vessel (such as a pier) by
striking against it. The Normandy, (D.) 55.

Limitation of Liability-Gross Tonnage—
Certificate of Registry-Certificate respecting
Double Bottom.]-In an action for limitation of
liability, the gross tonnage in the case of a
British vessel will be taken as shewn by her
certificate of registry, or in the case of a foreign
vessel, to which an Order in Council made
under section 84, sub-section (1) of the Mer-
chant Shipping Act, 1894, applies, by her
certificate of registry or other national papers,
without any necessity for adducing a certificate
under section 81 respecting the double bottom
for water ballast. The Zanzibar (61 L. J. P.
The Cordil
81; [1892] P. 233) considered.
leras, 13.

Compulsory Pilotage-Vessel bound to Manchester-Coming into the Port of LiverpoolAnchorage in Itinere.]-Pilotage is compulsory

subject to special exemptions on all vessels bound to Manchester and coming into the port of Liverpool, and, semble, on all vessels bound from Manchester and going out of the port of Liverpool. The Mercedes de Larrinaga, 65.

When a vessel is under compulsory pilotage, as being bound to Manchester by way of the Manchester Ship Canal and coming into the port of Liverpool, and not specially exempted, the compulsion does not terminate under section 128 of the Mersey Dock Acts Consolidation Act, 1858, if her pilot brings her to anchor, not finally, but only temporarily and in itinere. The Servia and the Corinthia (67 L. J. P. 36; [1898] P. 36) considered. Ib.

-Port of Liverpool-Outward Pilotage Limit.] -The compulsory pilotage of 2 vessel sailing out of the port of Liverpool by the Queen's Channel extends as far as the Bar Lightship, which, though further out, is to be considered as substituted for the old Fairway Buoy, prescribed as the outward pilotage limit by the Mersey Dock Acts Consolidation Act, 1858, s. 127. The Sussex, 73.

Jurisdiction-Action for Salvage ServicesCounterclaim for Breach of Charterparty-Embarrassing Fair Trial of Action.]-The Admiralty Division has jurisdiction to entertain a claim for damages in respect of a breach of a charterparty, and may in its discretion allow in a proper case such a claim to be set up by way of counterclaim in an action in rem--for example, in a salvage action. The Cheapside, (C.A.) 117.

Action in Personam-Judgment upon Default of Appearance.]-The plaintiff in an Admiralty action in personam is entitled to enter final judgment upon default of appearance under Rules of Supreme Court, Order XIII. rule 3, notwithstanding any practice to the contrary. The Madelaine and the André Théodore, 24.
