GIBRALTAR, June 17
The Court decided that a prima facie case had not been made out against, Captain Scott, master of the London steamer, Staneroft, who pleaded not guilty to a - charge of carrying war material to Spain.
As the result of information from the Noil-Intervention Board, the British destroyer, Hyperion, stopped the London steamer, Staneroft, on the high seats between Barcelona and Valencia on Hay 13, and escorted her to Gibraltar, where her cargo was examined
It was alleged .that the Staneroft was carrying arms to Spain. Her master, Captain Scott, was one of those who cabled to Mr Lloyd George from Spain protesting because the British Government took no action against the rebels after the air raid on Barcelona on April 30, when, they asserted, all the bombs fell close to the British vessels then in the port.
