ALLIED COURT
TRIAL OF MARITIME CASES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, October 17. The first Allied Maritime Court ever held in Britain opened in Cardiff when a Norwegian was charged with being absent from his ship. Apart from the co-ordinating officer, all the officials were Norwegian. English was ’not spoken. The Norwegian Consul in Wales sat alongside the judge. A Norwegian ship’s captain and a representative of the Norwegian Sailors’ Union were assessors. An official said: “The Court symbolises the freedom for which we are fighting. Here we have the privilege of trying our own nationals in the atmosphere of the Homeland.” Other Courts are being established in London, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Newcastle.
