There is a railway truck at the wharf end for the reception of rubbish, and witness having noticed that there was a lot of rubbish about the City of Delhi in the water, made enquiries. The charge'was denied on board at first, but ultimately was acknowledged. Captain Swan said he gave strict orders when he received the circular, &c, that nothing was to be thrown over the side.. The onencO was committed when he was away from the ship. The chief officer corroborated the captain's statement, and said that no one had put the rubbish over the side to ~his Knowledge. The third officer was in charge of the men, and he received orders from witness to put the rubbish at the end of the wharf. The Bench inflicted a fine of £5 and £2 2s costs.
