Accused were fined $50 the first charge of illegal possession of opium and $15 on the second charge of having arms in their possession within Settlement limits.
An order was also made during. the trial that the arms and ammuni-ion in the case be returned to the military officer to whom the accused said they belonged, which brought a vigorous protest from Police Prosecutor R. T. Bryan and the Senior Consal's Deputy, Mr. C. E. Whitamore.
Tt was the contention of the two that if it was the pleasure of the Court to. return the weapons it should be done through the usual channels and only on application the alleged owner or owners. Further Mr. Whitamore reserved his right to protest.
