Ourlast Report, per s.s. "Delta" was dated 15th inst. since when the markol has continued quies, and wo have again to repeat that with the the nuticipated demand from the country aflet the Now Year hoil- Inspector Fenton: There is days, is still conspicuoua .by its the other charge to carry on with; absence, the little business which the police do not withdraw that..efectoil, being solely for im Mr. Green nt for a police on mediate requirements, the local atable who was assaulted in the dealers entirely abstaining from
all speculative contracts, execution of his duty.
His Worship Woll; I under stand, Inspector Fenton, that Mr Green is not a willing witness.
Indian constable 829 said that at seven o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty near the Central Market, Queen's Road, when he saw the defendant ron ning. A man come out of the hotel and said that Mr Green had been assaulted. Defendant was pointed out by a ΕΠΕΙΣ ng having committed the assault Witness caught hold of defondant and the latter assaulted him with his closed fist. His turban was Biso pulled off, C.C. 980 and I.P. O! 780 came up. Witness did not see any of the trouble; he was told to arrest tho, défendant and ho did. The defendant assaulted him because he did like being arrostari, perfectly cortain the defendant

was the man who strook him. This was outside the hotel And there was a number of people there. Defendant was very hoisy He did not know how the defea- dant got a black eye but defon- dant lcd the black, eye before witaces arrived on the scene, Defendant appeared to be under the influence of liquor but witness could not say if ho was dazed.
Defendant said when he got outside the hotel foar constables got hold of him.
His Worship:-You can make asiatoment, afterwards.・・ -
Defendant-Why did ho kick me and strike me over the head, bosides cutting my oye opon?
Witness said he did not kick him and did not see anyone else kick him
A cook's mate named Vowles,
·H.M.S. Flora, said that on the night in question, between 7-16 and 7-30, the defendant asked the man at the piano in the hotel
A most significant feature of the situation is the "absolute ces- sation of all business in No. 10, which, from holding the premier position of all other couets in the matter of consumption, is now a dead-letter in the local markot. This is mistitying alike to impor ters and dealers, and the only ex- planation that the latter are able to offer in, that in the latter part of last year heavy shipment of No. 108. wore made and some portions of theso still remain un- digested, hence the absence of demand at presont,
