The prosecutor stated that he was ployed by the Harbour Office, and was engaged to raise various obstructions susk in the harbour. He was working it's sunken júnk near Jardine's buoy yesterday when the three defendants came to where plaintiff's men 'were engaged, pud placed their boats, so close to where the operations were proceeding as to prevent hit men from getting the sankes jonk in position for raising.. Plaintiff explained to in that he was working under the orders of the Harbour Department, and that they must go away at once, as if they did not, they would be reported to the Harbour Master, They refused to move away, and so plaintiffs' made an official report against them, and a Boarding Officer went out and told them to ga away, but they still refused to do so. (n scrount of the obstruction caused by these men's boats in the vicinity, two of complainant's junks were put out of business, thus causing great delay in the work of clearing the barbour, The Boarding Officer corroborated the abuve.

The second defendant said he was master ni junk No. 19573 H. He did not interfere with complainant's work on the junk. He did not go away when he was told to do so because the other defendants told him not to.

The third defendant, master of junk No 16349 H. said he did not obey the order to go away as the first defendant, Li Sei, told him nat to do so, but to slay where he was.

His Honom said, having gone fully into the evidence against the three defendants, he found that the first defendant, Li Soi, had disobeyed his lawful orders, after being twice warned;| once by his own Boarding officer; and that he also encouraged the two o her defendants, here! with charged, to also disobey those lawful.com. mands,
