6. The plaintiff on the 12th November, 1907, whilst the said ship was at Falmouth, wrongfully and improperly tore out and destroyed certain entries which had been made by the mate of the said ship in her log book relating to the said voyage from Cardiff to Falmouth; and the plaintiff substituted in the said log-book entries made by himself with intent to conceal the true facts of the said voyage from the defendants.
