GENERAL TELEGRAMS.
BREACHES OF WAR REGULATIONS.
By Telegraph.—'Press Association. Greymouth, Last Night. A young man named ipfaff was convicted and fined £5, under the war regulations, for issuing letters tending to interfere with the proper trading of an oversea vessel. The letters were found in the possession of two seamen, who were arrested and convicted for desertion. Notes were given recommending the seamen to a person in tlie Reefton district for employment. The notes stated that the seamen were leaving a "rummy" ship., publicly stated to be "black," in connection with the Australian strike. The defence was that there had been no intentional wrongful act, but that the letters were given in good faith, believing the seamen had been legitimately discharged. The case of Palmer, who was sentenced to a month by justices of the peace, for boarding an oversea vessel, was reheard. The magistrate reserved his decision on the point as to whether there can he a second conviction for the same offence.
