Severn Leigh Appeal Fails

Crew Remarkably Reasonable,

Court Holds

The appeal by the Captain of the British freighter, Severn Leigh, falled at the Supreme Court, Appellate Jurisdiction, this morning, when the Court, comprising the Chile? Justice Siz Atholl MacGregor anct Mr. Justice J. A. Fraser, held that respon- dents were remarkably reasonable.

In view however, of the importance and the difficully of the question on which the appeal was based, their Lordships intimated that they would give their reasons in writing.

The appeal was brought as a result of respondents being found not guilty and discharged on September 20 by the Hon. Commander J. B. Newill, B.O., si the Marine Magls- trate's Court, on a charge of combin- ing to disobey their captain and with combining to impede the progress of the ship's voyage on September 9, and the appellant, Captain Albert Edward

Ford, asked that the judg mint be reversed.

Mr. H. G. Sheldon, K.C., instructed by Mr. R. M.M. King, of Messrs. Johnsen, Stokes and Master, appear- ed on behalf of the appellant and the respondents present in Court to-day, and appearing in person, were M. Paredes, R. Redmond. Stanley Egmos, F. Davies, E. O. Gantoa, James Bussey, Joseph Davies, John Tor Davica, James Islah, J. Chiku, John Stephens and Coxon Ayamn.

The grounds of the appeal were that the

rale should have con- because they had combined to impede the pro- gress of the voyage contrary to. Sre- tion 125 (1) (e) of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1804, which says, scaman lawfully

to be punished summarily, that is to say if he combines with any of the crew to disobey lawful commands, or to neglect duty, or to impede the navi gation of the ship or the progress of the voyage, he shall be liable to Im prisonment for a period not exceed- ing twelve weeks.
