MOKOIA’S FIREMEN
PARTIES TO A STRIKE. MAGISTRATE’S DECISION. AUCKLAND, August 28. In giving his decision in the case against twenty-two 'men of the Mokoia’s crew, Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., said that the point that the ship, was delayed only half an hour was not important. The point was that the men’s action caused Sir George Clifford to leave the vessel. They held up tuw boat, until they got their own way in the matter, which had very little to do with them. It was an extremely serious course on extremely inadeuqate grounds. The Magistrate imposed a penalty of £5 against W. Tighe, leaving the others to stand over, as suggested by counsel, pending an appeal.
