FIREMEN GAOLED
SEQUEL TO HOLD-UP
LONDON, July 25,
As a sequel to events while at Wellington, William Evans, a fireman aboard the lonic, was sentenced to nine months’ at Easthan Police Court, and twenty-four others to three weeks’ hail'd labour, following a conviction of combining to disobey lawful commands. The prosecution said the lonic was lying alongside the Mahia, whose boatswain quarrelled with the crew, after which one committed suicide. An iquiry was held and found the boatswain blameless, but he resigned. The lonic’s captain offered him a passage, whereupon Evans told the officers that the defendant* would leave if the boatswain were a passenger, resulting in the lonic sailing only after the Mahia’s boatswain had left.
