He agreed with his Worship that there was no evidence against the defen- dant in respect of the suit picked up in the street.

Evidence of arrest was then given by the Indian constable. Neither he nor the previous witness could say that Atkin appeared to be drunk at the time.

Inspector Field, in evidence, said that when brought into the charge-room at the Central Police Station, Atkin was sober, although he smelt strongly of drink. He could understand witness' questions and replied intelligibly. This was in striking contrast to his condition in the cell, into which he was put later. Atkin then appeared to, be under the influence of some dope, or else he was "kidding." Witness had to defer taking the defen- dant's statement owing to his condition. until next morning, when the latter said: "I have no knowledge of what happened"..

At both places, he had a few drinks," finishing up, as far as he could remember, at 3.30, at the Hongkong Hotel bar. "From that hour his mind was a blank, until he woke up to find himself in gãol next morning.

Mr. G. H. Wilson, a fellow electrician with defendant on board the President Cleveland, gave evidence to the effect that at 8.30 on Thursday afternoon, Atkin returned on board to take over the watch, and it became apparent to wit ness that he was so drunk that witness thought it prudent not to hand over the watch. At eight o'clock in the evening, a seaman came on board to say that de fendant was under arrest

In recent years the loss of marks has been very small, and competition close for high merit.
