NAVAL TRIAL.

THE CHINA MAIL,

Electing to give evidence, accus- ad had the oath administered to him, standing at his small table and not in the witness "box."

Paym. Lt. Kennedy, as the "friend," conducted the examina tion-in-chief of accused.

CHINESE WRITING. Captain C. E. P. Sparrow, Royal Marines, who was ward-room caterer, was called upon to produce the wine day-book of the ward-room for July.7 and 8, the extract cover- ing which was handed in by the prosecutor.

After a consultation between the President and the Judge-Advocate, this witness was asked if the book produced was the "clean" day-book which, he said, was posted up the following morning. The "rough" day-book was posted up at once by the steward.

Captain O'Neill informed the Court that the "rough" book was entered in Chinese.

The Court thereupon announced that the extract from the "clean" day-book must be ruled out. The President stated that there was a leading case on the point two or three months ago.

Captain O'Neill: I have no wish to produce the wine book, I con- aldered. It would be asked for and that is the reason why I produced

“MUZZY."

Captain Sparrow, R.M., used the term "muzzy" in cross-examination, in relation to accused's condition. "When I went into the ante-room, accused had his head on his hands. He asked if I would have a drink and I replied 'No, thanks' and that I thought that he had had enough, too. Accused said 'Oh no, have another.' I replied that I must go to my cabin."

This closed the evidence for the prosecution. Asked how long he would need to prepare his defence, accused, said about 45 minutes. The Court thereupon adjourned. During the interval, it was decided

Paymaster Commander H. L. Shaw, FL.M.S. "Suffolk," said that accused had a facial twitch, his speech was difficult to follow and he was rather nervous.
