evidence it appeared to be established that the one none
of a very panther character, and that the unfortunate result
might reasonably be attributed at most to a mistake, without
the slightest culpable negligence on the part of the defendant,
and upon this suppon tien the learned judge intimated that
there was not sufficient evidence to go to the jury, and there-
fore directed an acquittal.

11Ir. Atherton, Q.C., Mr. Meats Q.C., and Mr. Cleasby
appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Temple, Q.C., Mr. Rind-
marsh, and Mr. Simon for the defendants.
Mr. Cleasby opened the pleadings. The plaintiff was Mr.
Edmund Graham, of Newcastle, shipoweer ; and the de-
fendants the Sunderlaed Dock Company. The plaintiff
alleged that it was the duty of the defendants to buoy lien-
don Rock, and to replace inch buoy in the erect of its being
carried away, and that in consequence of their neglect of this
duty the vessel of the plaintiff sustained serious damage, to
recover for which the action was brought.
Mr. Atherton nand the case. The plaintiff brought this
actin% to recover damages sustained by hie vested, the Eden
Dale, by reason of the said vessel striking on the Hendon
Rock. The buoy, it appeared, was table to be carried away
by anthem and eastern gales; but it only required tranquil-
lity rf weather to enable the company to replace the buoy on
its being washed away. The alleged mischief to plaintiff's
vessel, is coneequenoe cf there being no buoy on this rock,
took place on the 17th of March last. The buoy had been
washed sway somewhere about the autumn of 1857, and had
not been replaced, in that for the whole intervening period
the company would appear to have been neglecting their
duty. The Ellen Dale was • vowel of about 900 tons,
new measurement, and at the time in question was
under charter to convey a cargo of coals to Calcutta.
She took in, at Sunderland, a cargo of 1,200 tons ; on the
17th of March, between four and five o'clock, she was towed
oat of the southern entrance of the dock, with a view to
proceed upon her voyage. She bad on hard a river pilot,
eased Jobling. The steam-tug Bee towed the Ellen Dale
eat to • considerable distance outside Hendon Rock, and then

wee a little further out. When the wind fell the vessel
was outside Hendon Rock ; bat, owing to the sake of
the steamers, and the hazy state of the atmosphere, it
beam necessary to look for the buoy, and the pilot then
bawd that there was no buoy on the rock, and the vessel
afterwerds retiredly d-ieed towards the roA, upon which
else eventually struck. Soundings were then taken, and It
was found that there were fourteen fehoms to stern and
bow, bat the vessel had struck about amidships. In a short
time the resod struck with great violence, and immediately
it was found that she was making water at the rapid rate of
eight or nine inches in an bone. The pumps were °own-
s mealy set to work, and the vessel was ultimately brought
back to the deli, when it was found that she had sustained
considerable damage, to repair which it wee found necessary
to milord the cargo, and it was to recover damages for the
coat entailed in repairing the vessel, together with the
expense of unloading, demurrage, end other incidental es-
