The Nautical Court's decision in connection with the collision between the Rotomahana and Kestrel absolved the Kestrel from blame, and ordered the Rotomahana to pay costs. In the collision between the steamer. Kanieri and ketch Dawn the Court apportioned three- quarters of the costs to the Dawn and one-fourth to the Kanieri. The Court did not deal with the certificates, these being the first cases in which the harbour regulations were in question. The Court expressed the opinion that Article 25 of the collision regulations, relating to narrow channels, applied to the Auckland harbour entrance.
