WILFUL WRECKERS ARRESTED. OWNER AND CAPTAIN. London, Oct. 29. William James Jones and Captain Plummer have been arrested on a charge of attempting to defraud the pnderwriters.—(A. and N.Z.) [A cable a few days ago stated: — The Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the Glendalough, near Belfast Lough, has delivered judgment at Cardiff. The Court found that the loss was due to a wilful act of Captain Plummer, acting in concert with William James Jones, owner, who insured the vessel for £60,000, though the value, including the cargo, was only £17,000. “Jones recklessly and wickedly gambled, not only for money, but in the lives of. men.” He was ordered to pay the costs of the inquiry, namely, £25,000. Plummer’s certificate was cancelled.]
