There appears to be an inconsistency in one of the decisions, errived at by Mfr Francis at the Magistray yesterday, upon the question of what constitutes a "TORSOD- ablo excuse" for having been out at night without a pass. One defendant was din- charged with a caution on the ground that he was returning from the theatre, and another was finel although he gave the as excure.

In the meantime, it has become known that a salary is attached to the post, although we understand that Mr. McKean was ignorant of this fact; and a mah is being made for that seat by a number of officials.
