He congratulated Mr Hanlon upon the results of the examination of the boys' school, in addition to that of the young ladies who were taught by Mrs Hanlon. In doing this he would take the opportunity of men tioning to those who were present that the most talented and attentive of the pupile who had been instructed by Mr. Hanlon, and one who had obtained the first prize to-day--the attendances of that young gentleman at the school were not sufficient for him to count under the Grant-in-aid scheme.

They said they wanted to see a magistrate, and witness did not go to the Court and did not return on board. They were given into custody and refused duty.

The Captain explained to the magistrate that he had had to jettison a quantity of cargo and ship's stores, and this defendant, who was acting as stoward, was ordered to make out a flat of the stores jettisoned, and sign it. He did so, but had never heard of defendant's shewing any unwillingness to sign the lists before.
