VESSELS ENTERING DOCKS.

At the Birkenhead Petty Sessions, held yesterdee
before Messrs. Fielden, Case, Cust, Jackson, °f
Barton, and Bryans, Captain Dougall Gilchrist Logn,,':e,
the ship Sebastopol, was summoned "for that here
to wit, on the 16th day of November instant, then bath',
the captain or master of a certain ship or vessel called ra
Sebastopol, did unlawfully give certain false inforne:,,,
to Captain James Hookey, the Dock-Master of the Birile-ar
head Docks, of the draught of water of the said ship or
vessel, by then and there stating that the said 81410
vessel drew but 19 feet 10 inches of water ; and ,at-est
entered in a certain booklkept by the said dock-Ins',-.1
for that purpose, that the draught of water of the B‘-ti/
ship or vessel was but 19 feet 6 inches, whereas, in t,irt of
i
and in fact, the real draught of water of the said ship
tsa
vessel was 20 feet 6 inches, by means of which said esite
information the said ship or vessel was permitted to enter to
said Birkenhead Docks contrary to the form of the sttce
in such case ma le and provided, whereby for such one-nr
be had forfeited a sum not exceeding £20." The Bi,""ef
mons was taken out at the instance of Captain
the dock-master, under the authority of one of the Pi 6)
enhead Dock Aces (10 and 11 Vic. cap. 264, sef.';'o;
which enacts " That if any master or other person
or
command or charge of any ship or vessel, enteriei
intending to enter any of the said docks shall give fa et
information of the draught of water of any auch
vessel to the dock master, as aforesaid, or to ail of
Ch
assistants, every person so offending shall' for every ant,
offence forfeit a sum not exceeding £20." The defend
when asked what he had to say, admitted that the drenctet
of water had been wrongly given, but that he wconlef
the time aware of its being so, having taken the worths
the pilot who was on board. Since the offencispiet
pilot had been brought before the Liverpool "-Iv
Committee, and punished for the false information.
had given him. Captain H okey stated that a previnhef
vessel had been turned back to discharge some of „"re
cargo, so as to have a less draught of water be7so
entering the decks, probably at an expense of sorce,,,d
or £6O, and be had no doubt that the defendant .m„-15
his cargo,
saved quite £lOO in discharging by getting /,-0t
the dock under the falseinformation he bad giver, ;ill
only that, but had the defendant's vessel got on tbe,"a-t
of the dock gates, they would have been unable toe ig
them, the consequence of which would have been that k%
the tide receded, the wh of the vessels in the joco
would have been without water to float them until t
next tide, and unable to discharge or take in ibe
cargoes.—Fined £lO and costs.
