Sydney, July 24.
At the inquest on Arfateiu, who was killed by the explosion on the Argo on Saturday, the jury returned a verdict upon the evidence that death was due to an explosion of gas generated in the cargo of coal. AN IMPORTANT LEGAL POINT. An important point was decided in the Full Court to-day, by five judges to two, the effect of which is to hold that silence on the part of a prisoner could be commented on and used as evidence against him.
THE LOSS OP THE GUIDING STAR. Newcastle, July 24.
The Marine Board have called on Captain Thorpe, of the steamer Eliminite, and Lewis, the second officer, to show cause why the collision with the schooner Guiding Star, which was out in two, should not be attributed to their want of vigilance.
