Upon near to ten on the morning of the 6th inst., he was ing the Tremont he saw the signal flying that police assistance was required. He went Filipino had been killed and another injured. on board, and was told by the captain, that
The doctor of the ship told him it would be dangerous to move the man to the hospital. Witness, with all the officers of the ship, made a good rumniage of the holds for the prisoner, but failed to find him, and he then went to the Station and reported the occurrence. He was then told to go back on board and allow no one to leave.
Captain Garlick, of the Tremont, said he set the usual signals to call the police and barmt & blue light. If there had been a fire on board he would have fired off his rockets.
His Worship said that it had been given in evidence that police pinnaces passed near the ship at half-past two o'clock in the morning and saw no lights and that the man paid two visits to the lighter alongside during the night. He thought that more ought to have been done by the captain to secure the arrest of the prisoner. As a result of his not taking sufficient measures the prisoner had got away to the Praya and there caused the death of yet another man.
This closed the case, and after the usual caution prisoner said that when he came on shore from the steamer he intended to go on board again. There were Chinese on the shore, and they said "By-and-bye," "by-and-bye-i policeman came and arrested him and took him to the station.

This afternoon the prisoner, Pagain, was again placed before Mr. H. H. J. Gompertz, on the further charge of having on the 6th inst., murdered, on the Praya West, one Cheng Tong, a ricksha coolie.
Chinese Constable, No. 308, deposed to the arrest of the prisoner on the Praya West, near Jardine's Wharf, and to the cuts and damage to his uniform he sustained. His Worship commended the constable for his conduct,

"BAYERN'S" MIS-READ SIGNAL. There was a peculiar incident, so far us- reported,, connected with the arrival of the German mail steamer Bayern on the 30th ult, say the Straits Timer. On the previous afternoon the agents of the Norddeutscher Lloyd bere were informed by wire that when the Bayern passed Malacca she had signalled that she was in distress and wanted assistance. Arrangements were immedi..tely made with the Tanjong Pagar Dock Company and one of their steam tugs with a lot of apparatus on board was dispatched to meet the incoming steamer. But when she was sighted by those on the tug, the Bayern was steaming along with no appearance of being in trouble, and when she was spoken it transpired that all was well aboard and that she had not signalled Bayern when passing Malacca must have in heavy grey shirtings and T. cloths as well as been misread.
