LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ADM IR ALT Y COURT—Thursday.
THE LITTLE VVESTERN-SALVAGE.
This was a claim for a reward for salvage services rendered
to the Little Western, a steamer of 722 tons, by the Belfast,
another steamer of 80 horse power, belonging to the General
Steam Navigation Company, on her passage from Calais to
London, with a valuable cargo, 80 passengers, and a crew of
18 persons. The Little Western had loft Ramsgate for Lon-
don, with 90 or 100 passengers, r,n the morning of the 4th
of April last, the wind blowing bard from the N.E. by E.,
and when off Kingsgate was struck by a heavy sea, which
damaged her machinery, and she was drifting towards the
shore, when she was discerned by the Belfast, off the North
Foreland, arid the master, observing a signal of distress, or for
assistance, on board the Little Western, put back and proceeded
to her aid. He found that she was only two cables' length
(a quarter of a mile) from a rocky shore, and had but a small
bower anchor, which had a cable bent to it, and which did not
hold. He ran under her lee, and taking her in tow in about
four hours brought her into Margate Roads, whence she was
conveyed to London. The value of the property salved was
12,000/. The action was entered far 3,0001. _ _ .

Dr. lusituswrox said the principal foundation of the claim
was the danger in which the property had been placed, and,
looking to the value of that property and to the value of the
vessel rendering the service, a steamer of 80• horse power—a
class of vessels which were always regarded by this Court in a
favourable view—though 3,0001. was a demand which he
could hardly characterise otherwise than as a preposterous one,
he thought 7501. was not too much to meet the justice of
the case.
