CARGO BROACHINGS.

X COMPLICATED CASE. Per Press Association. WANGANUI, July 3E A case of considerable interest to those business people who occasionally suffer losses on account of cargo broaching has just been determined in the case of tho G. H. iPmvnall Lubber Company and the Paten Shipping Company, in which the plaintiffs claimed for damages in connection with the broaching of cargo on the Kapiti. The magistrate held that tho local company was acting under tho Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company, and that it was to the latter company that the plaintiffs must look for redress and not to the Paten Company. Further, tho magistrate stated that it lay in the plaintiff’s hands to show that tho case had been broached while in the hands of tho Patea Slapping Company, and ho was not satisfied that tho plaintiff had excluded tho possibility of the case having been interfered with after it left tho ship, and while it was still lying in the wharf shod, and non-suited the plaintiffs.
