Where cargo has been claimed and security has been lodged with the Chief Bailiff, expenses of offloading and storage shall be taken first from those securities; if securities are insufficient the balance shall form part of the Bailiff's expenses (a charge on the proceeds of sale); if securities exceed the expenses the surplus shall be returned to the party who provided the security. No special departure from established admiralty practice was warranted on the facts.
