Baring had given a false name when stopped by a police officer. but when he appeared to produce a licence at a police station near his home his identity was disco- vered.
Mr. Norman Birkett, K.C., for Baring. suggested that it was an extraordinary foolish escapade on the part of a young man who had been convicted nine times in 1936 for exceeding the speed-limit.

JAPANESE GOODS- LEFT. IN SHIP'S HOLD
Dockers' Refusal To Unload
*
Southampton stevedores who are members of the Transport and General Workers' Union refused to
discharge 200 tons of Japanese cargo which arrived at Southamp- ton in the Canadian Pacific liner Duchess of Richmond recently. With the goods "still in her hold the liner is now on her way back to Canada.
About 200 stevedores were en- gaged discharging cargo from the liner when they discovered that among it was a considerable quan- tity of Japanese goods. The men held a meeting in a shed alongside the berth and decided to suspend the unloading of that part of the cargo which came from Japan. Later, the men returned to the ship and moved the Japanese goods from one part of the hold to another so that Canadian pro- ducts could be landed. That part of the Japanese cargo which had been taken ashore was then re- turned to the hold. The 200 tons includes silk, cloth, novelties, and decorations chiefly intended for the Christmas markets,
The zneri are recommending other branches of the Transport and General Workers' Union to impose similar embargoes at other ports in the country.
