TRADE WITH THE ENEMY
FINES AND IMPRISONMENT . THE CASE AGAINST JACKS AM) CO. London, Juno 18. In tho iron ore case, .1 majority of the jury found the prisoners (Robert Hetherington, not Irvingdale, and Henry Wilson, partners in Jacks and Co.. iron merchants, Glasgow), guilty, with a recommendation to leniency owing to the unprecedented circumstances caused by the violent derangement of business owing to the war. Accused were sentenced to six months' imprisonment and fined £2000 each* Lord Strathclyde, in summing up, said that nothing short of a Royal license would entitle a Britisher to ai> tempt to supply goods to tho people of Germany. Tho Jacks Company until August 10 never intended the ore to go to Germany, but then found through their Gorman house that it could effect an arrangement with consumers. Their action, resulted in Germans securing the iron ore.
