PORT BOWEN SEAMEN IN COURT
■ 4 On Licensed Premises After Hours Dominion Special Service. ■- WANGANUI, July 31. Charged with being found on licensed premises after hours, five seamen off the stranded liner Port Bowen appeared in the Magistrates’ Court, Wanganui this afternoon. The men, who were fined 10/-, with costs, were Andrew Smith, Michael McConalagyn, Patrick McConalagyan William McVey and William Noble. The magistrate, Mr. A. Coleman, said he would inflict a nominal penalty for two reasons: The first was that the seamen might not have been acquainted with New Zealand licensing laws, and the second that the men had experienced a trying time on the stranded steamer. Any further breaches would not be treated so leniently.
