FINDING.
We have carefully considered the evidence given before the Court in the presence of the accused as well as his statement in defence.
We are of opinion that the evidence is too vague and general in its terms to sustain a charge of gross misconduct on the part of the Second Officer, Mr. DONOVAN, and the Court therefore does not deal with his Certificate.
We are, however, of the opinion that his conduct has been highly unbecoming in his position as Second Mate of the Chittagong, and consider that in the best interests of all concerned it is necessary that he should be discharged from the ship, and we therefore order his discharge accordingly.
Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 16th day of March, 1896.
