A SAD fatality accurred at Aberdeen on Saturday evening. H.M.S. Severn is in dock there, and about sunset many of the crew went down to the beach to bathe. Among them was a first
class petty officer named Arthur Biggs, who was' only able to swim a few strokes, and who was being assisted by a comrade. Whilst the men were disporting in the deep water a sailor-an indifferent swimmer-called, out for assistance. Instantly a rush was made towards him, in which the man who was supporting Biggs was carried away for a moment. Biggs at once sank, and did not rise again. Every effort was made to save him, the best swimmers diving re- peatedly, but the water was too deep. Divers were sent down, but sank deeply into the mud, and had to be dragged up again, and the firing of the Severn's guns over the place failed to raise the body. It floated; however, yesterday, and was conveyed to the Cemetery during the afternoon. An inquiry will be held to-morrow.

I allow you three days, and if you do not comply with my order your licence will be cancel led and the mistress and the inmates be sentenced to six months imprisonment. The laws of England prohibit the keeping of a brothel. without a licence, and therefore it is necessary that you should apply to the proper authority for it and then start the business. If you have a licence you must be obedient and abide by it. It is known that you act contrary to the laws and misbehave yourself in your brothel. Being influenced by the detectives you allow your inmates to do what they like and insult my man and squeeze his money. I warn you agains doing it because it is not light to squeeze good people in that manner. If this matter, and the inisbehaviour of the two detectives is reported to the police authoritities you are liable to lose your licence, and as soon as hat is done there will be an end of your trickery, and trouble,"

IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION. (Before Mr. A. G. Wise, Acting Puisne Fiatge.)
PASCOE 7. MORGAN. Charles Pascoe brought an action against Frank Arthur Morgan, Commissioner of Customs, Kowloon, for g600, damage incurred through the illegal retention of ceruficates. Mr. Webber represented the plaintiff, and Mr. Francis, Q. (instructed by Mr. Reece) defended.
..
Mr. Webber said that the action was really for tort. The plaintiff was formerly a gunner in 1 M. Navy, and was discharged to April, 1788. with a certificate of good char cier. He came here and afterwards shipped in the Glamorgan
fire, which steamer he left in July, being having a certificate of good conduct. He joined the discharged, at his desire, in Hongkong, and Imperial Maritime Customs, and remained here for some time, but, taking upon hunself to chastise a Chinaman, which is forbidden by the rules of Mr. Morgan for the return of his certificates he learnt that they had been taken to Japan by Captain Clayson, Coastguard Commissioner. Whether they had been accidentally lost or not, though, the defendant was personally responsible. The damages were claimed on the ground that through not having the papers the plaintiff had failed to get a lucrative thuation in the Naval Dockyard Police.
Mr. Webber:-Is not the revenue collected in Queen's Road?
The defendant asked for the protection of the Court,
but finally dropped it.
Mr. Webber put the question in another way,
Witness did not know that a man was enti led to have his papers back after leaving the service, Captain Clayson was on leave at present, and witness had charge of the steamers.
Mr. Francis agreed that the plaintiff had a right to get his papers back. hat submitted that the defendant was not the right man to sus. Mr. Morgan had agreed to allow him $30, a month for his maintenance until he got work, and had done all he could to get the papers back, and it was most ungrateful of the plaintiff to loke proceedings.
Mr. Webber, in reply, shid that Mr. Morgan discharged the plaintiff, which he had no right to do if he was not his employer.
His Lordship reserved judgment, expressing the strong opinion that the plaintiff had no case.
