Right side Of tie road at Sea

On the 9th of Nov. last, trial came on
IN the Admiralty Court, Doctor's Com
mons, London, wherein the owners of a
vessel from one of the Yorkshire river
ports, were the Appellants, and Mr.. John
Mountain of the Angel Inn, i'm Boston. and
others, were the Respondents. The cause
arose out OF the circumstance of Mr.. Noun
tain's vessel, the Johna of thst port and
vessel OF the Appellants, called the Engi-
neer, being obliged by adverse weather, in
prosecuting their voyage to London, to Div
to windward and in one of their courses
1T became evident that the vessels would
come IN contact, unless ole Of them bure
up, and put about on different tack
Neither OF them being disposed to haul to
wind, the vessels as had been foreseen, ran
foul of each other, aud the Engineer was
overwhelmed in the shock, and immediate.
ly sunk; allowing just time. enough to her
crew to save themselves on board the
Johns.
When the surviving vessel reached LON
don, she was seized by the Court of Admit
rally, on the complaint of the master OF the
Engineer, to abide trial of the case, which
trial came the day we menti.ned-near-
ly year after the accident. The case re-
solved itself into an inquiry as to the tacks
on which the vessels were sailing; and
Judgment was prom unced IN favor of the
Johna; the Court of Admiralty declaring,
that the vessel on the starboard tack has
a right to keep her wind, and the vessel on
the larboard tack is bound to bear up or
heave about to avoid danger, or must be
answerable for any injury the vessel on the
starboa7d tack may sustain by their coming
into contact. We understand that the de-
c'slon is important, and requires to be
promulgated for the information of masters
OF vessels generally. The expences at
tending the trial have been more than sOOi.
TO the parties, besides the loss of one OF
the vessels, and the long detention of the
other.
