SEAMEN SENTENCED IN LONDON.
RESULT OF INCIDENTS AT r WELLINGTON. LONDON, July 25. Because of events which happened while the ship was at Wellington, William Evans, a fireman on the lonic, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment at the East Ham Police Court, and 24 others to three weeks' hard labour, following their conviction for combining to disobey lawful commands. The prosecution said the lonic was lying alongside the Mahia, whose boatswain quarrelled with the crew, after which one man committed suicide. The enquiry held the boatswain blameless, but he resigned. The lonic's captain offered him a passage, on which Evans told the" officers that defendants would leave if the boatswain was a passenger. Because of this the lonic could not sail till the Mahia's boatswain had left.
