 Accidents and Incidents

From the West Wales Guardian of Friday 27th November 1931:

  

    The motor schooner "Mayals", of the port of Swansea, was run down by the Lowestoft steam drifter "Neves" off the pier head at Hakin Point, about 1.30 a.m. on Friday, and she sank within five minutes.  The crew were taken on board the "Neves".  No one was injured, and they were provided with everything needful at the Sailors' Rest, Charles Street.

    The "Mayals" was bound from Runcorn, Chesire, to Falmouth with 300 tons of gas coal.  She put into Milford Haven on Monday for repairs.  She is owned by Captain Holton, V.C., of the Royal Flying Corps, and managed by Messrs. Winnard & Samuel, of Fowey, Cornwall.  She was manned by a captain and five men.

Before mr. justice bateson

COLLISION DAMAGES: LIMITATION OF

LIABILITY

THE NEVES

    In this action the owners of the steam-trawler Neves claimed to limit their liability, under the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts, for the damage occasioned by a collision between the Neves and the motor-vessel Mayals.

    The collision occurred near Milford Haven Docks on November 20th 1931, and liability therefor was admitted by the owners of the Neves.  The Mayals was sunk.  The registered tonnage of the Neves is 118.83 tons, and the plaintiffs offered to pay into Court the aggregate amount of £8 per ton ― namely, £959 12s. 9d., with interest.

    Mr. H. L. Holman appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. O. L. Bateson for the defendants, the owners of the Mayals and her cargo, and the master and crew (suing for lost effects).

    mr. justice bateson granted a decree of limitation of liability in the terms asked for, and abridged the time for bringing in claims to one month.

    Solicitors.―  Messrs. Holman, Fenwick and Willan; Messrs. W. and W. Stocken.
