THE " AGINCOURT'S" CREW
AND CONTRABAND.
THE HULL ENQUIRY,
JUET'S CURIOUS VERDICT.
At the Thames Police Court, London, last The inquest on the bodies of the two victims: month, Charles Rotliwell, Adam Lauder, of the smukon Craue was concluded at Hall Peter Shelian, and Jeremiah Sheen, able on Nov. 2nd. A curious verdict, merely record- seamen, were summoned before Mr. Mead foring the facts of the men's deaths as elicited combining to disobey the lawful commands of in the avidoneo, was given. At the close of Captain G. W. H. Laudison, master of the the ovidence Mr. Aeland, K., representing steamship Agincourt. Mr. Dawson Miller pro- the Treasury, told the jury that a great honour soonted; and Mr. A. Neilson defended.
find boon conferred on them in entrusting to them the first step in an inqdiry quits unprecedented in the history of international relations. Two courses were open to them-ether to bring in a verdiet placing some person on trial for his life, or to bring in a general verdist placing on record the facts of the case. A great intorna- tional inquest was to be hald by arrangement between Great Britain and Russia, and he usked them to take the latter course. In the present cuse no one could be found guilty of murder. He cited the cass of a collision some years ago between a German and au English ship, in which a passenger on the latter had been killed. The Lord Chief Justice then hold that n charge of malighter could not then be upheld. But there was a much better reasons reason of policy. There was no person within the jurisdiction of this country against whom a charge of murder could be brought. He asked them not to find a verdict which could not be enforced until both sides had been heard.. Delicate negotia. tions were going on, and it was desirable that things should be put in such a way as not to make them more diffondt. The coroner (Colonel Thorney] strongly soconded Mr. Acland, who, he said, was speaking for the British Government. The jury then retired, and, after deliberating for three-quarters of an hour, brought in the following verdict
Mr. Miller said the proceedings wore taken under section 225 of the Merchant Shipping Act. On April 22 the defendants signed to sail on the Agincourt for a period not exceeding two years, and to keep within the limits of 75 deg. north. The vessel left Barry with a cargo of Walah oval on April 23, the expected des. tination being Hongkong, On June 27 they arrived at Singapora; but the owners of the Vessel, Mesara. Lloyd and Co., in the mean- time having seen certain notices in the news- papers that molues were floating about in the neighbourhood of Hongkong, decided on sending the vessel to Nagasaki dirent. The men refused to go in the ship to Nagasaki, and their alleged reason was that the ressol carried contraband of war and consequently they were not bound under the articles to proceed on the voyage. Some time after the Agincourt was wrecked. The Ing-book showed that the defendants had combined to disobay lawful commauda and impede the navigation of the vessel, for Nagasaki was clearly within the limits in which the vessel was to trade. There was nothing illegal in carrying contraband of war. He submitted that under the contract the men were bound to go on.

By Mr. Neilson-Floating mines were let loose in May, and suspicions were aroused that they might get down to Singapore. The Jugancee were paying more than anyone else for steam coal, and his vessel was insured against war risks. He gave no instructions that the men were to be prosecuted at Singaporo. Mr. Neilson argued that there was no case for him to ausweg Nagasaki was a belligerent
The jury, also extended its support to the Government and its sympathy with the relatives of the deceased.
Much interesting evidence was given before this decision was arrived at. Captain Jocelyn Thomson, Chief Inspector of Explosives, said that in his opinion, the trawlers Mano, Gull, and Swipe had been struck by projectiles corresponding to those used in three-pounder, forty-four milimetre quick-firers, while the Mouimen was also hit on rienchet by a shell equivalent to that of a fifteen-coalimetre six- inch gun. On the Gull was found a bullet with Russian letters on it. They appeared to have been used at a range of not more than a quarter of a mile, and there was no doubt whatever

Charles Rothwell, ordinary seaman, one of the crew, in the course of his evidence, said that at Singapore, when the crew refused to go to Nagasaki, the captain said "I'll tell you what I will do. I'll give you a month's pay extra." Some of the men demanded two months' extra pay, and the captain, taking a coin from his for one month or two months' extra pay" (Laughter.) Mr. Neilson-Did yon agree to this mode of settlement? The witness-Only one man did, and he was under the influence of drink. (Loud laughter.) The coin fell for us to go for one month's extra pay, and we would not agree. (Renewed laughter.) The captain then offered us two months' pay. but we still do clined to go. Continuing, the witness said that they arrived in Loudon on October 23, and on the 25th called on the defendant, who considered them as deserters and directly responsible for

She at last steamed off in a south- westerly direction. She did not hail any of the fishing foot. This witness also said that before the firing commenced he heard a bugle, and the guns then began as though in answer to it. He heard no signal to cease fire George Kitchen Green, skipper of the Gull, said that the warships kept on signalling to one another. One ship was not more than seventy yards away from the Gull when she opened fire.

Social life in Australia is singularly free from money snobbishness. Se loug as you are well dressed, no one will care whether you live on | £300 of £1,500, which is a healthy and comfort
ing state of things. If you are poor, there is no place where poverty so little outs you off from social pleasures; while those who bare to economise do not seem to find it the same dreary series of privations that it is apt to be in England. The penny tram will take you to Government House as safely as a hangom cob,
The COMPANY has 0.60 and a great deal more safely than a motor-our, which latter bare hard work to climb the steep bills in which Sydney shounds. The necessaries of life may be dear to buy, but so much is thrown in for nothing that those who are brave enough to begin life out here on a small income are not to be pitied. But the basket must never be too large for the silver paper to cover it. It must be admitted that the Australians are not a saving people. To save only in insurance, and have a bare £3 for emergencies, would seem to the thrifty Botch or Buglish housewife to be a threatening of the workhouse. The Australian lives in the sunshine, pats by in insurance more than he can afford, spends his income, and gambles i savings on the racecourse or, asend miaing venture. If he loses he has no more to spend; but if, as often happens. Le "makes a bit, his wife has more jewellery or his friends get better dingers; while, if the "punch" be 2.00 very good indeed, ke moves into a larger house. It seems a careless, reckless life, but there is 20.00 some sound philosophy beneath it all, and the men who lead it can face misfortune, when · 0.50 misfortune comes, as bravely as most others.- 0.95 Mrs. B.
