The name of the vessel has since been changed, and she is now the Booral, trading under the British flag. Mr W. M, Hodgman appeared on behalf of Messrs Brabant and Co., Brisbane, who, soon after the seizure, put in a claim as British subjects for £12,000 for coal and various necessaries supplied by them to the steamer as general agents.
