TAHITI'S SPEED
DEEMED EXCESSIVE THE JUDGE'S DECISION GREYCLIFFE TRAGEDY (United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Eeceived 7th January, 2.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Court and galleries -were filled to overflowing and a large crowd gathered in the street, when Mr. Justice Campbell delivered his judgment of the Tahiti-Oreycliffe collision inquiry this morning. Mr. Justice Campbell said that on the evidence produced he could not give a decision on the matter. He added that the Tahiti's speed was in excess of the Greycliffe's. The captain of the latter vessel could not be held responsible, as he considered his speed was in excess of that allowed oversea ships under the regulations, therefore he could not be overtaken. Mr. Justice Campbell held that the Tahiti's speed exceeded that allowed by harbour regulations for oversea vessels.
