Carnegie to remember the friend of everybody, Jack the sailorman, Here is the temperate way in which the secretary, Mr. T. W. Moore, submitted the case for the officers and men of the mercantile marine: If the administrators of the Cartagia Hero Fund were not satisfied that they had complete and correct information of an act of bravery at aca, aben. it could not reasonably be expected that they should devote aby part of the Fund towards it. The resources of the Fond are quite ample enough to admit of seafarats being included. If only in the interests of humanity, we would submit that they merit the greatest encouragement in saving life at sea. They themselves frequently in the Kingdom are provided with home-risk personel hardships and danger, and thus made organs whose only redeeming feature,
are able to appreciate is what serious is that they drown the voices of the leopardy they must place themselves when choirs. Then there is a Valhalla, or what attempting to rescue others. I may men had done so the Chief Justice would have

But, all the same, Mr. Carnegie's attitude towards the British seafarer in so far as the Hero Fund is concerned cannot be deemed excusable.

Dr. Ho Kii, pursuant to notice, asked the following question: Will the Honourable the Attorney General sinis whether he bas any objection to give the reasons which governed him in not filing an indictment for' manslaughter at the last sessions in the Portland Strest building collapse case?"
The Attorney-General: The matter is one of public interest and I am very glad of the opportunity of giving the reasons which govern ed me in the matter. They are as follows Affer the Coroner's inquiry the Prosecution obtained important expert evidence as to the construction of the buildings. This evidence did not establish such a degres of negligence as could justify a prosecution. for man+ slaughter and in the opinion of the At torney General no jury could possibly have convicted having regard to it. The evidence also clearly demonstrated that the man supervision of the work was not con- trolled by Mr. Bird and as'a fact, the Building Contract specifically defined the Architects to be "Cleme t Palmer and Artbur Turner" and did not include the name of Mr. Bird. This point, however, was not material having regard

INTERPRETATION ORDINANCE. The Attorney General, moved, and the Colonial Secretary seconded, the first reading of a Bill entitled An Ordinance to amend The Fire Insurance Companies Ordinance 1897 and to remove at ambiguity in the construction of the same.
Bill read a first time.
The reason for amending the Interpretation Ordinance is consequent upon the defect which was discovered in Ordinance No. 5 of 1895 in a recent case. which was before the Supreme Court in April 1901, brought for Criminal Conversation" and it was then discovered that by the effect of Ordinance No. 3 of 1895, the action-for-criminal conversation had ininten tonally been repealed and did not exist in this Colony.. Furthermors this Ordinance No.s of 1895 enacted that since Ordinance No. 5 of 185 this form of action was non-existent in the
Colony.

First, he begins by placing a wrong interpretation on the Governor's state ment made in the Council on the subject of a third judge for the Appeal Court, and when His Excellency points out the error, he squeezes through the back door by saying that even the corrected version is open to objection and entirely at variance with the traditions of the Bench.". The Chief Justice then complains that His Excellency, like Sir Matthew Nathan, found the geperalopinion to be that except for purposes of the Appeal Court a third judge is not imme diately required. What says the Chief Justice to that? He knowi "no one familiar with the working of the Court who is of that opinion."
