A NICE FOINT,
Four native seamen on board the Glenlochy were charged by the chief engineer with disobey- ing his orders. Mr. F. X. J'Ahuada e Castro defended.
It appeared that the defendants, who wers
engaged in England, contracted for a period of
three months or until the ship arrived in Hong- kong. When the ship reached here they wanted to leave immediately, and when ordered to wipe the engines they refused,
The chief engineer, David McKoozie, stated that it was the custom for the firomen to wipe down the engines, before being paid off.
The master, Edward Stallard, said the men gavo so reason for refusing to work. They simply said they would not do it. There was mention when they were engaged of the hours they were to work. They were not told when they wore engaged in London that they would have to work four hours and have eight hours off. Firemen were supposed to know their duties. He did not tell thom.

The cases have been pirtly heard, and Mr. Duncan, ursuagar of Messrs. M'Ewen, Frickel and Ca., appeared in support of that firm's claim.
