THE COLLISION IN THE MERSEY.

LIVERPOOL. SATURDAY.
The investigation into the causes of the collision
between the Mail and the Excelsior was resumed this morn-
Mg before Mr. William Statham, the deputy coroner (Mr.
P. F. Curry, coroner, being indialosed), at the Crown
Court, St. George's-hall.
Martin Ouvey, Thomas Corley, and William Redding-
ton, Irish labourers, and passengers on b god the Mail
steamer oo the morning of the collision, were the first wit-
nesses examined ; their evidence, however, related chiefly
to their own prcesedings alter the collision, and threw little
or so light on the canoes of the eatestrr phe. They and ether
of the pusergers got on board the Excelsior after the colli-
sion, bat were not allowed to remain, the sailors declaring
that whether' kilt" or not, they mast go on board their
own boat. (Laughter.)
Thomas Ouerney Waite, mate of the Mail steamer, was
next called. His evidence throughout was substantially
the same as that given by the captain of the vend (and
already reported in the Express.) After ti e collision,
he (witch's) having got Was lights sod rockets ready, went
forward, and seeing a person whom he took 0 be the cap-
tain of the Bleelsiot, he said to him, " This is a bad job,
captain." He said, It is not my faelt." Witnres said,
"It is a very sad job; what could you b. thinking of ? ' He
asid. "The pilot was in charge." The lights of the Mail
had been trimmed that tight. He observed before the
collision they were right. He not Med them every time he
west forward. It any of them had been oat, he would
have observed than. Two mums° and the carpenter were
with him fore ard en the look out. if it bad not been for
the Excelsior stuboarding there would not have been any
danger of collision, not withstaeding the large number of
small craft lying about the Cheshire shore.
The witness was interrogated at considerable ler gth by
Mr. "espies% Mr. Weisner, end Mr. Weir. On the I oc-
cludes of his examination, Captain Cook, superintendent
of pilots, directed the witnera's attentson to the chart, sod
elicited his 'vision in correction of his evidence, that at
the time of the accident the Mall was hotter than a quarter
of a mile teems the Cheshire shore.
By the Jary—Before the collision he thought the pas-
sengers would be safe, as be did not know that any of the
parengen had got so aloes to the bow. He did not 'witti-
cism such a heavy oollimiou. The captain was perfectly
sober. Had the passassasn been seafaring people they
would have had time to escape before the collision took
