DESERTING SEAMEN.
THREE NORWEGIANS CONVICTED. (Special to Daily Times.) WELLINGTON, November 26. Three Norwegian sailors Sigurd Moen, aged 20 years, Arne Larsen, aged 19 years, and Angell August Pedersen, aged 23 years—pleaded guilty in the Magistrate’s Court to-day to being absent without leave from the motor ship Thalatta, at Lyttelton, and to stowing away on the steamer Kurow. Senior Sergeant Lander said that the men deserted their ship at Lyttelton, and after she had left for Nelson and Auckland stowed away on the Eurow and came to Wellington, where they were arrested. Messrs Burns, Philp, and Co. wished them to be dealt with under the first charge, so that they could rejoin their ship. On the first charge the three men were each convicted and ordered to pay £1 towards the coijt of their passage from Lyttelton. They were each sentenced to seven days’ imprisonment, and ordered to be placed on board their ship at Auck land on the second charge.
