Inspector Langley prosecuted austive boatman at the Magistracy to-day, before Mr F. A.

Some Europeaus, who witnessed the affair from the shore, ahoited to the defendant to row to the assistance of the boys and offaced him $30 to do so. Instead he rowed away and in consequence one of -the hors was drowned.
