CORONER'S COURT
POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCE CLAIMS YOU COMPENSATION (United Press Association.—Copyright.) SYDNEY, Bth January. The hearing of the Grcyclift'e inquiry ■will be reopened at the Coroner's Court to-morrow. Fifty witnesses have already been examined and subpoenas served on a. hundred others, so that the hearing is likely to be lengthy. What action will follow Mr. Justice Campbell's findings in the Marir.o Court will depend cither upon the Federal Director of Navigation or the State Superintendent of Navigation, who have power to decide from the findings ■whether material exists upon ■which any individual can be called upon to show cause why his certificate should not be cancelled. Though the parties have ]io right of appeal against Mr. Justice Campbell's findings, subsequent litigation will open the door to appeal. Claims for compensation for the injured in the disaster and the dependants of the dead arc sure to be filed in the Supreme Court. Another possible development is an action at law between the Union Company and the Sydney .Ferries Company.
