Mr S Gald: In his submission, "On July 23, the Appellant was con- vleted for uneboring his junk launch at a place other than a dan- gerous goods anchorage, to wit, at Cheung Cinu Bay. The Appellant was fined $230 and his 300 tins of kerosene were ordered to be confls- ented,
"I would like to point out that the maximum sentence that can be pass- ed in such a case by a Magistrate is. $200,- am instructed that after the Prosecution had closed its case, the -Magistrate -on his own--initiative;

I do not say that the Magistrate has no such power but in this case the Defendant, having no previotts conviction, the offence being his first, the Magistrate should not have poss- ed the maximum sentence, let alone confiscate the kerosene,
Valuable Cargo
"It seems highly unfair for the Appellant to be deprived of such a valiable cargo, which I am told is valued at $1,500. I have said before that this was the Appellant's first offence and to it he pleaded guilty "In the absence of any proot tuit this case was the worst of its kind I submit that the Magistrate did not use his discretion, and was wrong In confiscating the kerosene."
His Lordship: What principles, Air Sin. аге you alleging the Magistrate has infringed?

Mr Sin: The principle that the case was not the worst of its kind.
His Lordship: Supposing the Magistrate thought that it was worst case of its kind?
Mr Sin: The Ordinance provides maximum sentence is a fine the that of $250.
In his submission, Mr J. · P. Solleitor, Murphy, Assistant Crown
"My friend has said that the sald; Magistrate did not exercise his dis- cretion in
passing sentence. The fact that the Magistrate had mude the confiscation under his own initiative showed that he was not blased by any ulterior motive."

Photography Helps R.A.F.
Britain's R.A.F. Coastal Com- mand, the world's biggest users of photographic materials, clicks |the shutters of its cameras overy. sixty seconds of the war. Ta the month of April, the Com. mand took photographs, at the rate of 506,400 a year, using 104,000 square feet of film and 813,000 sheets of bromide paper. Photography plays a vital part in the work of the Coastal Command, which safeguards Beltain nguinst In- vasion and fights the Battle of the Atlantic at its sources, that is to say, up and down the constline of Europe from Trondheim to Bordeaux,
There, squadrons uf the Coastal Command attack bases, harass supply ships creeping down the Norveginn fjords or long the Channel coasts, and intercept the Luftwaffe's rudds on Britain's ship- ping.
