DISLOYAL UTTERANCES.
PORT KEMBLA FIREMAN IN
TROUBLE,
Nelson, October 3. At the Magistrate’s Court to-day, Jan Pieterse, formerly a fireman on the Port Kembla, was charged under the AVar Regulations of December 4th, 1916, that at Nelson on September 19th be published loyal statements, viz., that he loved the Kaiser, that he would fight his last for, the Kaiser, that he would kiss the Kaiser, and (imitating the act of spitting) that he would do that to the English. A further charge of seditious utterance was preferred. Accused gave evidence on his own behalf, denying that be held the sentiments expressed in the charge, and staling that he did not remember using the words alleged. He had served for fourteen years in the Dutch Navy, and was latterly in the Dutch and British merchant services. The bond) on the Port Kembla was intended for him as much as for anyone else. Dutchmen had no love for the Kaiser. Accused was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment on the charge of disloyal utterances. On the other charge he was convicted and discharged.
