OPIUM SCHOONER STORY

JAPANESE UNDER ARREST

QUEERLY-WORDED CHARGE

"I suggest that on the present charge my client should be dis- charged" remarked Mr. Loseby, appearing on behalf of Oka Yone

Kichi,

Japanese coal agent, charged with conspiring "with others known and unknown both In the Colony and without to un- Jawfully despatch oplum from a place without the Colony to a place

outelde the Colony where the offence would be punishable by Law.".

In reply to Mr. Loseby's sug- gestion that the charge might have been drawn up by a junior officer, Revenue Officer Grimmitt added that it was made by the S.I.E. himself.

7

Mr. Losoby. Perhaps the S.I.E.. deputed it to a jurilor oficer. To despatch oplum from a place with out the Colony to a place outside the Colony cannot be an offence. Offences against the revenue laws of other places are not taken notice of in any country.

Mr. Loseby. I object to alterna- tive charges, and make a formal protest now. The onus comes on the question of the ball, and it is quite obvious that the I. & E. don't know the charge, and I don't think the defendant should be put on such a high bail. I suggest $500 will be enough.
