ABSOLUTE MINÍMUM.

Mr. F. H. Loseby appeared for the defence in the case in which an inspector In

the charge of Shamshulpo Ferry Wharf was summoned for the same offence. He pleaded not guilty to the char- ge saying that the 'ghts put on were the absolute minimum for the safety to the ferry launches.

Sergt. Kelly who prosecuted said that he was on duty during the general "Black Out" in the Sham- shulpo district. About 9.25 p.m. he visited the ferry wharf and found two electric lamps awitched

on.

One was in the centre of the wharf while another. was over a clock near the entrance. Defend- ant was not present at the time but on the following day he tele- phoned to the Yaumati Ferry office to inquire for the person in charge and was informed that it was de- fendant.

Kelly agreed that traffic lights On being cross examined Sergt.

were exempted to a certain degree but he did not consider the light over the clock had anything to do with traffic guidance.

We had to get into our positionis eight abreast, with subalterns and Junior Captains in the front rank working back to Senior Majors and Lieutenant Colonels in the Rear Rank, Be Company was then called to give hind us were the other ranks of the respective Crown Colonies.
