The nine Dutch members of the crew of the British ss. Poplar Hil were acquitted by Mr A. G. Parker at the Marine Court this morning on two charges of the alleged insubordination, one that of neglect of duty, and the other, of impeding the progress of the voyage of the ship.'

However, Frederick Ouweneel, one of the five of the defendants charged with attempting to assault Captain John Anthony Williams, master of the Poplar Hill, was found guilty and sentenced to two months' imprisonment. The other four were acquitted on the charge also.

The alleged incidents took place at Whampoa in the middle of this month. The Poplar Hill arrived at Hongkong on October 21, and subsequently the trial against the nine Dutchmen began
