Having had previous informa- tion, the boxes were taken to the Water Police Station, where they were searched. Concealed in the sides of the boxes were found the three weapons and the ammuni- tion. The magazines in the two Luger pistols were loaded.

Detective Sergeant Humphreys, in evidence, said that before the boxes were opened, the defendant was asked if there were any arma inside, and replied that there were

When Detective Sub-Inspector Dorling gave evidence, he said that after the first box was opened the defendant was again asked the second contained ang con- traband goods, but he replied in the negative.

The defendant, when asked if he had any questions to put to the witness, said that he had four boxes and did not know which of them contained the arms.

Witness admitted that there were four boxes, two of which contained nothing incriminating.

The defendant elected to make a statement from the dock and said that the boxes were made in

Defendant's Health, -

The defendant was convicted, but before passing sentence the Police were asked if the medical oilleer of the gaol had made any statement about the defendant'a health.

Sub-Inspector Dorling replied that the doctor had not made any mention of his health, but after the last remand the defendant complained of being ill and was advised to report to the yaol doctor immediately after admis- sion.

"In passing sentence, Mr. Hamil ton said that the Court regarded the ease as a serious one, But in view of his age and his ap parent ill-health they were in clined to take a lenient view of the case. The defendant was obviously sick. A fine of $1,000 or 18 months' hard labour in default was, imposed. His Wor- ship said that the Bench wished to make it quite clear that they believed the defendant to hea very sick man. If he were sent to prison without the option it was not thought that he would

When asked what it contained she was informed that there were arma inside. They also told her that they did not have a permit for the contraland and she immediately told them to take the bag away.

The two men left, taking the bag with them, but later one of the men returned and, according to the defendant, must have left the bag behind. On the second occasion she was already in bed but heard the man's voice.
