Mr. Denton appeared for the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, who prosecuted, and Mr. Cafferata (Messrs. Weightman, Pedder and Co.), who defended, said he was going to plead guilty, but he was in the curious position that he might take an objection to the juris- diction of the Act by international law.
