Disobeying Orders.
[J?HS EEEE3 ABSOCIATIOH.]
WkliWkotow, Last night.
William Stewart, second engineer of the i as. Waikato, was to-day committed to gaol I for a month with hard labor for disobeying j orders. Mr Foster, the chief engineer, de- | posed that yesterday on returning , to the j ship he found the defendant drunk in his | berth. The refrigerating engines were going slow, and the temperature in the meat chamb ca was raised five degrees. Mr F< Bter stated that there wore no firemen ia the stoke hole and the fires were dying away, and in another hour, if that condition I of affairs had lasted, there would have been a probability of 2200 tons of the meat cargo on board being seriously deteriorated, if not uiterly ruined. His Worship informed the acensed that it was lucky for him that a more serious charge had not been pro» ferred by the master of the ship, as in that oase if a conviction had followed, not only imprisonment would have been inflioted, but the certificate of the accused would have been forfeited.
