THE YESSO" CATASTROPHE: CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST THE ENGINEERS.
Theodoens Bernard, chief engineer, and William Henry King, third engineer, of the 8. B. Yesso, were charged by Inspector Grimes with the manslaughter of a number of men, in that owing to their negligence one of the boilers of the e. s. Fesso exploded, causing the death of Tsang Asam and se- Teral other Brid
Mr W. H. Brereton he appeared on behalf of the first prieonar, Mr Bernard, and the Crown Solicitor, Mr Sharp, said he an- peared to watch the osse on behalf of the Orown. The second prisoner, he said, had he believed, written to a gentleman to watch the case on his behalf, Inspector Grimes said that the letter had been written about twenty minutes ago, it was to Mr Francis
Mr Sharp said he thought it would be hardly necessary to postpone the case for that. He would only put the Inspector into the box to make the formal charge, and he' would then ask for a remand.
Inspector Grimes was then called. He said: I charge the prisoners with causing the death of Tung Asam and others by the unfortunate explosion on board the S. Fesso. The first prisoner was first engineer, Mr Sharp said he would now disk for remand. There were 31 lives lost up to the present time. He did not wish to press for Bayerng the sravity of the charge he any undue hardship of the prisoners, but thought that if his Worship granted bail, the socused.cfg *!!

Mr Brereton said that he should ask his Worship to fix the bail at not more than $1,000. The number of lives lost did not at all effect the nature of the charge whether ohe life or eighty one were lost; it was simply a charge of manslaughter and could not affect the degree of guilt. It could not, be said, bo urged for one moment that the pri- Boders were guilty of any intentional crime, Mr Sharp had said that heavy bail would not. press hardly apon the prisoners; he (Mr Brereton, declared that it would, and would mmply amount to their being sent to gael. Mr. Bernard, the 1st prisoner, bore a most unexceptionable character and had been chief engineer for the past eleven years, and nothing could be urged to shew any criminal negligence, Mr May said he quite agreed with the Crown Solicitor as to bail being fixed at a bum to insure the presence of the prisoners; at the same time he quite coinsided with Mr Brereton that whether one life or aighty-one are in question it does not effect the degree of guilt. He (Mr May) did not see how he could fix bail at less then $5,000 In two recognisances of $2,500 each, and Baked Mr Sharp if he was satisfied with that annt. Mr Sharp said he was. Mr May said that both prisoners would be admitted to bail in $5,000 each.
Mr Brereton remarked that the inquest was adjourned till tomorrow at 2 o'clock, and that it probably might not be finished; he would therefore ask that the prisoners be remanded till Saturday.
