there was no reasonable probability of capture or exceptional personal danger they have held that men were obliged to proceed to places within terms of agreements entered into with the knowledge of state of wer existed and nature of cargo. I have accepted this principle. In
case of St Helena Battersea Bridge carrying coal Japan magistrate 15th April decided that no such special risk existed. On account of proximity of belligerent ships I am doubtful of correctness of this view of facts and as 18th April magistrate in case of Lincolnshire carrying rice Japan decided that special risk not shewn to be covered by agreements did exist and acquitted crews refusing duty I have directed release of
those sentenced 15th April.
