Extract from questions put to Mr. May, Superintendent of Police, and the answers given by him.

Warrant demanded

1. "Was a Warrant demanded by the Officer in charge of the 'Reindeer' when the Police visited her?

The Assistant Superintendent, upon going on board the Barque 'Reindeer', saw the Chief Mate of the ship, to whom he expressed the object of his coming on board, viz., to ascertain if the information received by the Police was correct, that a lascar off that ship had been severely beaten and placed in irons, and if so to take him on shore to make his complaint to a Magistrate. The Chief Mate replied that the lascar was in a crowd, and asked by what authority the Police came on board. He was told that the Superintendent of Police gave the order. Thereupon the Chief Mate said that he would deliver over the lascar and he was immediately released from irons. The Chief Mate requested that the Assistant Superintendent would write his name in a book, and this the latter did.

Has a Warrant...

2. "Is a Warrant necessary by Law or Custom to authorize the Superior Officers of Police to board any Vessel having lascars on board?"
