THE REGBIVT COLLIdION IN THE
DOVER ROADS.

VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER.

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 exh►bited,
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 half-past 11 o'clock
to look out fora collier which was expectdd, 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 bad the charge of
the Vivid. If they should be of the latter opinion, that
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 a❑ hour and half. The foreman then announced
that they had unanimously agreed to a verdict of man-
slaughter against John Watson, the captain of the
Vivid, and Wm. Kidhatn 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
packet, it was stated that the rate specified in the Post.
office contract Was 13 kni,t.; an hour.
