3 The record of such a case decided by the Norwegian Maritime Court in London, on Jan. 27, 1942, has been made available to the writer by the courtesy of the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Justice. It is a case typical of those brought before these courts. Up to the middle of March, 1942, the Norwegian Maritime Courts dealt with 117 cases involving 181 persons. Of cases brought to trial, 27 resulted in imposition of fines and 52 in prison terms. The longest prison term was 75 days.
