Settlement of the Pampero cast.
--We understand that the case of the
Pampero will not now go to jury trial, an arrangement having been made for its settlement.
We believe that by the arrangement the owners have consented to a verdict being entered for the Crown, forfeiting the vessel on some one count of the information, to be selected by the owners, they making such explanatory statement on the subject as they may think desirable.
It is provided, on the other hand, that the owners are to retain and trade with the vessel, but are not to sell it for two years except with the consent of the Crown, and that alterations are to be made in the structure of the vessel.
We understand that the builders are no parties to the compromise, which provides for acting their claim and having it withdrawn from the proceedings.--
