THE MARINE COURT AT HONGKONG,

The Merchant Service Guild have lately been in communication with the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject of prosecutions in the Marine Court at Hong- kong, the Harbour Master, the Hou, L. A. W. Barnes Lawrence, R.N., noting as the Magistrate of the Court. The case which the Guild particularly alluded was that of the prosecution of a shipmaster for alleged obstruction on the high ass and wilful disregard of the Rules of the Rosd The facts, as stated in the judgment of the Harbour Master, were that the master of the steamer temporarily left the vicinity of the wheel and left the direction of affaire in the hands of the pilot. Owing to the latter's alteration of the course a collision with another vessel encued. The Harbour Master stated that he did not know how far the pilot took charge in the coastal runs, but in no-wise was the master Absolved from responsibility in the event of an accident, and he was fined 100 dollars, or in default, fourteen days, im, prisonment.

The Guild, in taking serious exception to this judgment, said that an undoubted iu- justice had been committed, and that the decision of the Barbour Master was bad, 1376not only morally, but from a lawful stand- point. They said that a master could not always be in the vicinity of the wheel, and, in absence, it was perfectly proper and seamanlıku to leave the supervision of the steering to the pilot. Further, the Guild "desired to know under what statutes's Court such as that at Hongkong was constituted, as they were not aware of others of the kind olsewhere. Also, mention was made Foreign Affairs, after representations of the Guild, had caused a despatch to be sent to Shanghai that in any case in the High Court Affecting merchant vessels, there should be at least one merchant captain as-

MAIL STEAMER DEPARTURES.

TRADE MARK.

The following table is a chronologically arranged list of mail steamer sailings to Europe, America, Canada, and Australia. Coast ports, Manila, and Japan are not given, for steamers are constantly sailing for those ports.

All

the American steamers call at Japan, and the majority of the Australian boats call at Manila, and, in addition to those vessels, special steamers run there. The departure of every steamer is subject to alteration. The P. & O. mails ugually reach London in about 28 days, and the French and German in about 28;or 30 days.

Coal freight from Japan ports to this have continued to follow a downward tendency, principally in consequence of several ready steamers wanting to find their way down South. Business has been done at $1.80 per ton, Moji to this, prompt loading, but it is not likely that more tonnage.can be had at that figure for forward delivery, Charter has been put Moji/Saigon, a through t 33 per ton. For Singapore, no March fresh business has transpired. For a port

Mra Turner Bays ----

For a long time I suffered so from de- bility that it was with difficulty I moved about. I had a constant feeling of heavi ness at the stomach, and do what I would I could not got rid of it. My breathing was laboured, and caused great pain Many a time, when outside I had actually to stand still in order to get my breath, so bad had I become. One day a neighbour gave me a few Bile Beans to see if they would do me any good. I thought they From the did, and so I purchased some. time I began to take them I have gra dually improved, until now I am quite well again. Upon being questioned, Mrs Tarmer's daughter said she had suffered from nervous debility also. She went

My strength left me, I became depresy- ed, and lost all interest in everything. So dreadfully low did I got that I could hard- ly move about, and I felt as if I should like to go to bed and not get up again. My mother who said it was dreadful to see me so ill, gave me some of the Bile Beans, and I determined to give them a fair trial. The result is most satisfactory. Although only a short time has elapsed since I began to take them my weakness and depression are gone, and my strength has returned. The Beans are certainly a wonderful medico- cine.

Mra Turner told of a third case in her family in which this wonderful vegetable spacific had effected a cure.

DESTITUTE SEAMEN.

A Scheme of Assistance.

Those who have for some time been striving to help distressed Europens in Hongkong, and who have hoped to co some scheme evolved which would relievo the man in the street from the necessity of doling out aims to all and sundry who might plead poverty, will read with interest the following correspondence which has been forwarded to us for publication :-

(To the Editor of the CHINA MAIL.) Sin, The President of the Benevolent Society has received the following letter from His Excellency the Governor on the

subject of making tomporary provision for

destitute seamen in the Colony,

As the Benevolent Society, which has many other demands upon it, is not in sufficient funds to enable it to become a guarantor under the scheme suggested by His Excellency, it is obliged to invite residents who are interested in the matter to assist it by becoming guarantors.

If any are willing so to sesist they will, oblige by sending their names to the un- dersigned.

The Annual Genoral Meeting of tho Society will be held in the City Hall on Tuesday, February 7, at 8.00 pm, when any further information concerning the scheme referred to above will be gladly given.

All who are interested in the general work of the Society and in this roars ate, particular are invited to attend.Yours etc,
