A charge lodged by Royal C. j’- ian Mounted Police had accused Col. Jones of telephoning to New York "information with respect to certain captains of ship! which nhipg formed part of a oonW! on that date (Aug. 16) proceeding to the sea from the oort of Halifax-J’

The charge said tho information was that “such captains were not with the said Jones and would not be with him anymore!‘ ‘The ps1’- son in New York was identified as “Captain Mills."

The prosecution based its case on Section 16 of the Defence of Can- ada Regulations and the Magistrate, in passing judgment. observed that he could discern no violation of that section in the evidence.

Section i6, the Magistrate said. entails the use of "any document or other record" contalninfl 111101‘- mation covering several items, a- mong them the movement of ves- sels, in "any manner likely to pre- judice the safety of the stale or the efficient prosecution oi the war."
