LIABILITY OF THE PILOT SERVICE.—In the Liver
pool County Court, on Tuesday, Joseph Pollock, Esq.,
(judge), delivered judgment upon the case of the Dock
Trustees against Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co.,
agents for the Collins line of American steamers, for
damage done to the Bell Beacon, caused by the United
States mail steam-ship Baltic coming into collision with
it on the 16th April last, while in charge of a pilot, which
sank it, and the action was brought to recover the cost
of raising and repairing it. The application was ground-
ed upon the statement that the speed at which she was
going was 121 knots an hour--- too great a rate of speed
for a vessel so large as the Baltic entering a river, while
the defence was that having placed the vessel in the
hands of a licensed pilot, according to the act of Parlia-
ment, the owners of the ship were relieved of further
responsibility. This latter view was concurred in by Mr.
Pollock, who gave his decision for the defendants with-
out costs. His Honour also delivered judgment in the
cases of " Fairclough v. Bond," and " Marshall v. Pater-
son," both for damages by collision -in the former of
which the verdict was for the defendants with costs, and
the latter with costs for the plaintiff.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Pills, an Effectual
Remedy for Gout and Rheumatism.—Extract of a
letter from Mr. W. Moon, at Messrs. Godwin's, auc-
tioneers, Winchester, dated April 8, 1852. To Professor
Holloway.—Sir,—l beg to inform you that for years I
was a sufferer from chronic rheumatism, and often laid
uy for weeks together, unable to move. I was attended
by the most eminent surgeons here, but obtained no
relief ; and was iuduced to go into our county hospital.
The medical treatment there, however, being of no
avail, I left, and commenced using your pills, which, I
am happy to say, in a short time effected a perfect cure,
and enabled me to resume my employment.—Sold by all
druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
244, Strand, London. '
