Further evidence for the defence was called. Mr. Francis, in his final address to the jury, submitted that the defendant was perfectly justified in the notion be tock, na the Bees of the second officer and the third engineer were in danger, and he red the shots in order to prevent the crime of warder from being committed. He Ard four of the shota into the winch, but as thees had no effect on the lies. he fired a couple amongst them. It was by his ossinot alone that the second officer and the thin engineer wure re- leased from their perilous position.

The Acting Attorney-General replied for the Crown

His Lordship, in saraning up, cxplained the principhs of law on the subject and said that if the jury were satisfied from, All the circumstances of the case that the lives of the second officer and the third enginooren in Imminent danger and that's possible felony was going to be com mittod, and that the defendant believed the only way that injury to life' body could be pro- rented was by acting is the way he did, and that he had reasonable grennd for forming that opiul, then tho jury world be justified in ac quitting him. The fary did not thank there was any danger to life and that the menus em to courlot the defendans. Speaking of the origin ployed wore not necessary then they would have of the disturbance his Cordabip said I must spoak in strong terms of the origin of this alinir. To my mind noiling occld have been worse than been in this evert three days, your time has been taken up, and the errors of the ship have probably suffered gent meanrenience because of the rough, brutal, and violent conduct of the second officer. He hated by that enclio in a way which was certainly not justifiable. He as salted him in the first mitence and he assaulted him in the second instance. The shipowners probably know their business better than I, but if I were a shipowner and an offer acted like that soodud officer seted he would not remain in my service a moment longer. I.have relieved my mind on this matter. It is a meroy the do fendant is not standing his trial for murder it is mercy he was not the death of two pareous all on account of the seraad offfeer's violene can only hope thist so long as he and others like him ceme into this harbour they will reniousber that the Chinese az ander the protection of tha law of this colony, that they are not slaves to be driven as is a slave caran in Egypt.
