THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.
FOMBAY, July and, Saturday last was the first day sloco Septom- her on which there was no case of plague reported In Bombay. The mortally from that cause was one. It is true that in the next twenty-four hours three deaths from plague occurred and that the experiènce bas bien renewed dully. since. But veantered cases are to da expected, They afford reason for vigilance, but none for alarm. The Medical Board of Kornchi has cer- thed that plague in an epidemic from has ceased to exist in that city drce Tuesday. The epide mic of plague Bmbay reased in May, when the deaths from plegae fell to five or siz, or even to two or thire. We are now within mensurable distance of time when a clean bill afbealth can be given to wessels leaving the port of
·Bombay, and the clly will be de ivered from the shadow of * pretilence which has rested on It for nearly nine months. It will be a Kidat deliverance. While rejoicing at this relief from the presence
of a deadly foe in our midst, it would be nawire to lay maide precautionary mes- aures. The last word of Professor Koch, when leaving Bombay for Europe on F they list, was to impress opon all who were interested in the health of the city to maintain a vigilant outlock __for_the_oncurence of even a single case of plague and to deal with it is as involving a danger of a very serious kind. Even one case may yleid germs sufficient to bring about a new outbreak. Dr. Koch', advice, in which the other foreign experts fally conconed, fa tha isolated cases ould be treated with the stmont promptitude by terregaison of the patient and of the family and residents in the affected house. It is quite possible to soply cfcctual tren ment to few cases, but very difficult, If not Imporible, when there are many.

ANOTHER POLICE SCANDALI
SINGAPORE, July 16th. Attention has again been directed, and this time in a more empha le manner, to the extra- ordinary conduct of the Singapore Police In their dealings with ghairy drivers and
jlariksh paliers. Constables, it is admitted, take vehi cles and discharge them without paying the fare, with the result that the unfortunate syces or pullers are often kept waliing for days for money they bave justly earned. The pecullar ystem of the Police seems to be that the puller ast first get a chit from the Inspector of the

Mr. Pollock, la summing up for the defence, submitted certain points on which, he said, hii Lordship should direct the jury in a particular way. In the first place the evidence did not show anywhere that defendant did receive informs tion from Sennett & Co. about Olsen & Co. regarding the charter party.
Hi Lordship naked how would that affect the matter if it came out that defendant had
this contract.
Mr. Pollock said that assuming defendant story was incorrect and Sennett's correct--that Tarson aathorised Senacit to enter Into the charter party-st Teason had no knowledge of Olsen & Co. to this matter. Sennelt, in his evidencs, said Tuason for him and he knew authored bls firm to charter the Skarpine she was 10 chartered. He also deposed that Olven & Co. were his agents. There Do where appeared in Sennett's evidence any statement that Tuazon, at the time be gave bis authority to Sennett, krew of the existence of Olsen & Co., or that they were concerned in sny way in the chartering of the Sharpskoj and, counsel argued, from these facts it was clear, even asuming every word that Sennett fald was trae, that Tusson simply authorised Sennett to enter late the charter party and did not authorise Sennett to employ what might be called sub. agents in the matter. It further appeared, according to Sennett's evidence, that, as a matter of fact, the sub-employment of Olien & Co by Sennett was extremely disastrous became in December, 1795, Sennett got into financial squabbles with Olsen & Co. The point was to show that of a matter of fact the employment by Sennett of Olsen & Co. was "abso'ately disastrous to Tusson,
