Defendunt stated that on the day in question they were scrubbing and painting the forecastle. He could not do his work in the galley, so he got the sampan man's two children to wash up the dishes, and as they asked him for some tea, coffee, and butter, he gave them the articles which he was charged with having stolen. They were surplus stores.
A copy of the telegram as to the withdrawal at Weihaiwel of quarantine on arrivals from Hongkong was also laid on the table.
