Before Mr. Justice Bucknill.

Collision - Double collision - Chain of causation - Collision between motor vessel Cranmere and steamship Stangate in Gravesend Reach, River Thames -Admitted liability of Cranmere-Subsequent collision between Stangate and anchored training ship Cornwall- Cornwall admittedly free from blame- Action brought by Cornwall against Stangate and Cranmere-Whether collision with Cornwall was the inevitable result of the initial collision between the Stangate and the Cranmere or was due to supervening negligence of the Stangate-Unsatisfactory evidence of Stangate.
