He was unable to offer any explanation as to why Mesara. Devreaux. Zimmern and the other prosecution witnesses should come to Court.

Lawless said that he consider. ed himself to be. sober at the time, but admitted having made certain incorrect and untrue etatements when questioned by the Polled.

After the jury had returned their verdict and before Ben- tence was passed, a Nával Off- car, who was present in Court, said that accused had served with larger units of the Royal Navy and that, since 1939, "he had had a consistent record of "Very Good."

The last assessment of ‘ac- cused, which was, mado at, the end of December last, was good. Apart from one or two minor divergencies, there was nothing detrimental to accused's charac ter on the record.
