UNAPPROVED LIGHTS USED.
FIRST CASE IN DOMINION.
fill' TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday..
At Lyttelton to-day, John Howick, master of the coastal steamer John, was fined 10s for burning naked lights in a vessel which was carrying petroleum exceeding 200 gallons, such lights not having been approved in writing by a marine surveyor.
The case was the first of its kind heard in the Dominion, and a heavy penalty was not asked for. The offence arose through repairs having to be made to the dynamo. The master was absent from the ship at the time.
