In the case of Captains Newton a*ail McDonald, charged with undermaiining ithe stwuner Moana, fines of £lO on Newton and £5 on McDonald were imposed, together with costs. The Magistrate said the defence, namely thai the fillip carried a boatswain was an 'A3, might be taken into consideration and in mitigation of the penalty. He did not look on this as a very serious ■offence seeing that tihe boatswain had picked the crew, and the prosecution lad gained its end by callrag attention to the stringent provisions of the iAct. It was absolutely necessary for the master of a ship to see that the full complement was carried. Any dereliction of audi duty would tro seriously met in the Courts.
