A nautical inquiry into the collision between the steamer Indradevi and the schooner Lily, off Lyttelton Heads, was held at Lyttelton today. The Court held precaution had been taken by those on the steamer to avoid collision, and suitable wisdom and discretion had been shown by the auxiliary second officer under the circumstances. On the other hand, the Court found it quite impossible to believe the evidence of those on the deck of the schooner. It was considered that great neglect and want of discretion had been shown on the part of the mate in not earlier calling the master, who. it appeared, had bom placed in a false position by that want of disorotion. Ow ieg to the mat# not holding a certificate, the Court was unable to punish him in the way in which the safety of tike travelling public demanded, hnt they ordered him to pay £5 5s towards the cost of quiryTHE WEATHER.
