LEWIS GUN CLAIM.
GOVERNMENT KEEPS £3,000,000 EXCESS PROFITS TAX
BONDON, July 26.
(3)-The No, I coolie said each man accused the other, t
(4.)—A coolie saw the defendant, at Wuchow, place two packages un- der the firewood.
Mr. D'Almada pointed cut that in view of cabe recent prosecutions of steamship companies, it was not un- likely that companies would seek to absolve themselves from blame by shifting the responsibility on to coolies. ·
Mr. F. E. Nash, who prosecuted at the hearing of the case, said that in this case the reason the company wis not charged was because the quant |ity was less than that for which it could be held responsible under the Orfeuence.
Explaining his reason for convict | ing, the Magistrate said that in view [of the fact that the man, originally | charged with the accused and sub- sequently discharged, and an in- dependent witness had both deposed to having seen the packages of opium hidden at Wuchow, he saw no reason why the evidence should not be accepted.
The Lewis gun claim for £3,000,000 retained by the Government as excess profits income tax (mentioned yesterday) ended in judgment for the Crown after the evidence of Sir Eric Geddes and others that they did not recellect any reference made to taxation when the contract for acquisition | Magistrate said that in cases of this of the Lewis gun was being negotiated in November of 1915.

reluctantly given. "I do not feel
