The defence set up against the claim was that the ship was
under the management of the pilot, and that the master of
the tug boat was obliged to obey the command of the pilot,
and, consequently, not liable. It appeared that at the time
the master of the tug hailed the flat he was distant about 60
fathoms; and, as the magistrate conceived the master of the
flat had sufficient opportunity to keep clear of the danger,
the case was dismissed. Mr. Rushton expressed himself
that not the least blame was attached to the pilot.
