HARBOUR OFFICE
AS A MARKET.
In the British Colonies one sometimes beats of strange adaptations of stranger structures. for use as Government departmental offices, but these more usually partake of the annex ing" of rome big godown, altering the same by the erection of walls and partitions, potting in the requisite furniture, "and there you are;" you have an office fit for the Lord High Chan cellor, or the Lord High anybody else, for that matter. Here in Hongkong, bowever, the old rule, if it can be called such, is to be revers- ed, and when the Harbour Master's departe ment moves into its new home now just near ing completion, on the Praya, and situated to the east of the Canton whark, an the 1st prox.. the offices vacated are to be altered and in,
fuzare sulized as a pork and vegetable market, as an annexe to, the market ereci- ed just opposite Lu that banding, and which is to be used for the sale of fish, meal, and general produce. The scheme at least has the merit of novelty, and as there does not appear to be any other particular use to which to put the vacated building, perhaps a better scheme could not have beso devided. A marine commander, in the Harbour Office the other day, remarked 10. a representative of the Hongkong Telegraph, that the building would make an ideal seamen's hospital, but he had evidently not studied its environments, nor, apparently, was he aware that the new building just across the way, was to be used as a place for the sale and distribution of our daily sup plies of food, and no hospital is wanted any where near it. fleaven forfend!
NOCTURNAL ACROBAT.
SENT TO GAO L,
A Chinaman calling himself Tsang Kin ap- peared befors Mr. C. A. D. Melbourne, at the Police Court this morning, charged with being a rogue and vagabond inasmuch as he was found wandering about the public street during the small hours of this morning, and having no fixed place of abode., Defendant denied the accusation of wandering about the street," saying that he was getting fresh air. Evidence was heard to the effect that when Tsang was first sighted by the police he was looking up the staircase of different houses. The police man lost sight of the man for a while, but on turning the next coiner he found isang busily climbing up the scaffolding, which was erected outside house No. 13, Lower. J.ascar Row. The officer told Tsang to come down and be arrested. Tsang replied that if he didn't look out he would drop on him. Eventually the acrobatic gentleman was marched to the Central Felice Station. At the Court to-day, Tsang said that he did not go up the scaffolding fur ány unlaw. ful purpose, but simply to get the wind and to "ges things," He was sentenced to filleen days' hard labour.

Mr. P. W. Goldring appeared for the de trade represents a value of 331 million taelsinst.:Since we last wrote there has been no fendant, who pleaded not guilty.
At about nine o'clock this mo ning, the com- plainant went to defendant's shop and tendered him a ten-dollar note in exchange for subsi- diary coins. The defendant placed the roll of cains, representing ten dollais, on the counter, and also fifty-five cents extra as premism. The complainant was so surprised at this that he forgot all about the, $10 ia smali coin, but took the premium and walked away. After having proceeded about one hundred yards from the shop he discovered his mistake and rushed back to the shop for his money. It was alleged defendant said complainant took it away, and would not return the money. Complainant went to No. 2 Police Station and reported the occurrence in Inspector Gourlay, who arrested the moneychapger.
