at once.

Magistrate: Why don't you think it

A: Because they have been so long in the Company's service.
Magistrate: What were the defendants' duties in regard to the boilers and engines? A.: The chief engineer had charge of the engines and boilers, and supervised them generally. The second engineer had parti. cular attention of the boilers he had to take particular care of them.
Magistrate: How did you know his duties w re confined to the boilers, in that he had particular care of them?
A. That is from his position of second engineer. On Sundays when the steamer was not worked, the ascond engineer had personally to examine the boilers, and the chief engineer the engines.

A.: Well, the steamer arrived on a Saturday afternoon and the boilers had to be blown out, and the next day they would be sufficiently cooled down for an examina. tion, and they had to be filled in again for work on Monday. This would only give few hours for examination from about 10 am. till 4 p.m. These examinations were carried on regularly every Sunday.

But there does not seem to be any hurry at all in this being strictly carried out, and probably it may be put off till two or three years later.

Since last Report was issued a fair amount of business has been transacted both in Home and Coasting Charters, and there is still a moderate demand, but rates generally are unaltered.
Homewards, the settlements for London have been principally for Sugar, and more nnage is still required, but as a fair num- ber of ships are available and about due, rates are unchanged. Freights from the Philippines are firm, and there is some enquiry for suitable vessels to load there. The charters for San Francisco are anderstood to have been on very low terms, about $3 gold per ten.
Coastwise, a moderate busine has been done at low rates, but demand at present is very slack. The settlements for Saigon were transacted early in the fortnight, and lately enquiry for steamem bes quite fallen off, rates being nominaily 17 to 18 centa. Small sailing vessels are wanted for Bang- kok, but steamers are not in request. For the Northern ports it is difficult to get offers except at very low rates.
The market has opened for small vessels to load at Foochow for the Colonies, but freights are low and demand at present limited.
