A request for the rescission of an order of Mr Justice Alpers, refusing a special juty in the case of the claim of Maud Ellen Nicholson, widow of
Thomas Matthew Nicholson, for £1500 in respect of the death of her husband, who was lost in the steamer Ripple, of which he was chief officer,
on 6 th August 1924, was made to the Full Court, consisting of their Honours Mr Justice MacGregor and Ostler, this morning by Richardson and
Co., Ltd. Mr G. G. Watson appeared for Richardson and Co., Ltd., and Mr P. J. O’Regan for Mrs Nicholson. His Honour Mr Justice MacGregor,
granting the request on behalf of the Court, said that it seemed a case in which a special jury should be allowed. Action, or default of action,
causing the husband’s death was alleged. The boat was alleged to have been allowed to leave Wellington in circumstances which made it unsafe
to leave the harbour in bad weather. “There is no allegation that the ship was overloaded,” said his Honour, “but there are allegations in regard to
the way in which the cargo was stowed, both below and on deck, that it caused a list, and that the deck cargo was shipped correct the list. There is
also the suggestion that the ship should not have been allowed to leave the harbour in such heavy weather. Mr O’Regan says he will have to call
waterside workers and the Government Meteorologist.” His Honour Mr Justice Ostler agreed, remarking that the evidence would be of a highly
technical nature.
