BOTH GUILTY.

Supervising Inspector Matt
OBrien has rendered q decision
upon the evidence taken relative
to the recent collision between the
steamship Dumois and yacht Argo,
which resulted in the loss of two
lives and the sinking of the latter.
He finds that Pilot Lumbard of the
Dumois and Captain Brown, of the
Argo, were both guilty of gross
negligence and suspends them from
the discharge of their respective
duties for the term of two hundred
and sixty FIVE days. But the prob.
ability is, that they will be no bet.
ter qualified at the termination of
the suspensive and probationary
period,-if the decision of the In.
spectOr is correct-to resume their
lnvoluntarily relinquished trusts,
than they were when their "gross
negligence" contributed to the sac.
ritce Of human life and the de-
struction of private property.
Gross negligence, where human life
ID at stake, is scarcely as venial as
that OF absolute incapacity and
ought to subject the offenders to
permanent dismissal, instead of
temporary suspension, from a ser.
vice wherein they are totally dis
qualified from acting.
