THE RIMU AND RAKIURA STRANDING.
THE MARINE COURT INQUIRIES.
[BY TELEGRAPH.PRESS association.]
Dunedin, Tuesday. Inquiries have been held into the stranding recently of the coastal steamers Riinu and Rakiura. Mr. C. W. Chamberlain, Collector of Customs, conducted the investigation in the case of the Rimu, and forwarded the evidence to Wellington.
The Rakiura inquiry was held before Mr. G. Cruickshank, S.M., and two assessors, Captain Beaumont and Captain Patterson. The taking of evidence lasted nearly all day, and after an hour's retirement. Mr. Cruickshank announced the judgment of the Court. The captain's certificate was ordered to be suspended for six months, though a certificate of lower grade may be issued to him in the meantime. The mate's certificate was returned to him, but lie was ordered to pay £5 5s costs (half the cost of the inquiry).
