TEE RE(VOIT COLLMIoN IN THE
DOVER ROADS.

VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER.

Yesterday the investigation into the circumstances
connected with the recent collision in Dover-roads, be-
tween the Vivid mail steamer and the Henry, of Yar-
mouth, was resumed before Mr. Thompson, the borough
coroner.

Mr. Churchward, Mr. Jenkins, and Mr. Stillwell ap-
peared for the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company; Mr.
Milhado for the owners of the Henry ; and Mr. Irons
for the Marine Department of the Board of Trade.
The additional witnesses examined were James Pit.
tock, mate ; John Compono, second mate ; John Wat-
son, Captain : William Kidham and Thomas May, look-
outmen, all of the Vivid ; and John Godden, a water-
side labourer. As before, the chief point sought to be
elucidated was the presence, or otherwise, of a light in
the rigging of the Henry at the time of the collision.
All the witnesses above-named, connected with the
Vivid, deposed that they did not see any light exhibited,
and that if there had been one they must have seen it.
On the other hand, Godden, who was stationed that
night on the Dover pierhead up to ha!f-past 11 o'clock
to look out for a collier which was expect,d, deposed that
about 9 o'clock that evening he distinctly saw a schooner
bring up in Dover roads. She had two masts, hoisted a
bright light somewhere in her fore rigging. He observed
the light from time to time up to half-past 11, when he
quitted the pier. The light was then burning, and as he
left he saw a steamer (the Vivid) leaving the harbour.

The coroner, in summing up, said the jury would say
whether the unfortunate occurrence resulted from acci-
dent, or whether it arose from a want of proper and rea-
sonable care on the part of those who had the charge of
the Vivid. It they should be of the latter opinion, tha.'
finding would amount to a charge of criminal neglect,
and they would return their verdict accordingly.
The court was cleared, and the jury were in consulta-
tion for an hour and half. The foreman then announcer'
that they had unanimously agreed to a verdict of man-
slaughter against John Watson, the captain of the
Vivid, and Wm. Kidhani and Thomas May, the look-out
men.

The coroner said he would issue the committals in the
ordinary course. (The defendants had previously re-
tired).
With reference to the speed of the Dover and Calais
packets, it was stated that the rate specified in the Post.
pffice contract was 13 knot,' an hour.
