BARGE NOT REMOVED
DIRECTIONS DISOBEYED DEFENDANT FINED £2 Failure to obey the directions of the harbourmaster at Auckland, Captain H. H. Sergeant, led to a prosecution against H. W. Taylor, brought before Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., in the Police Court yesterday. Defendant did not appear. The harbourmaster gave evidence that a barge used for carrying sand was found adrift at a beach at Onehunga, and defendant was instructed to remove the barge, ac it was a danger to other vessels. At defendant's request, time for the work was allowed, but defendant did nothing. He ignored several warnings and requests, and the authorities eventually removed and anchored the barge. Mr. Elliot, appearing for the prosecution, said ignorance had been pleaded in a letter from- defendant, who was fined £2 and ordered to pay costs.
