THIRD. We are satisfied from the testi-
mony, that these vessels were not approach
ing head to head, aud therefore think that
the effort of the ResOLute to pass to the star
board was not in conformity with good
seamanship. She therefore erred in her
attempt to pass to the starboard. A prop
er observance Of this would have prevented
ed a collision, as the Straits were mile in
width, and no difficulty from want of water,
shoals or bars.


We are Of the opinion that this is case
of mutual fault, and the damage should be
apportioned in conformity with the rule
recognized by the Supreme Court of the
United States in the case Of the schooner
Cathornie ct. al, rs Dickinson e. a.


We therefore think the costs should be
equally divided.


The damage of the Northerner we have
assessed at eight thousand dollars, exclu.
ding, for reasons entirely satisfactory to the
mind Of the court, the claim for demurrage.
The damages sustained by the ReSOLHte and
her cargo, we have assessed at five thou
sand dollars, making the aggregate loss of
thirteen thousand dollars, which we direct
to be divided between the parties.


The DEGREES will be prepored in conform
ity with the foregoing, and submitted to
the court for approval.

not decompose but must remain precisely in the

was imported into this country last year, three


hundred thousand pounds of opium. OF this
amount it is estimated, from reliable data that
not one-tenth is used for medical purposes.
The habit of eating opium is known to be
spreading rapidly among lawyers, doctors,

quantities are used by the manufacturers OF
those poisonous liquids which are dealt out in

a prompt acknowledgment of our fault OF
