INSTIGATING STRIKES.
ALLEGED BREACH OF THE ACT. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, January 24. The hearing of the case against the Merchants' Service Guild, a claim for £2OO for instigating a strike, was concluded to-day. Captain Watson was further examined, and admitted that he had sent ] telegrams to various officers, but that; most of them were in reply to wires he ] had received.. The union had given him | no-instructions to send such wires. ; ■Mr. Ostler, counsel for the prosecution, cross-examined him at length, with a view to showing that the ac- | tion of the men in coming out was the result of a common understanding which I brought the union within the scope of the penal clauses of the Act. Captain Hay ward, vice-president of I the union, said that no meeting of the executive was held at which the ques- | tion of a strike was discussed. The Magistrate announced that he | would give his decision on January 31.
