The danger to the colony, however, is a very real and a very great one, sad to obviate that danger, it is but right that ignomace of the law should not be accept ed as an oxense for its violation. The firm at titude adopted by the police authorities towards such contraventions of the port regnistions will, it is sincerely to be trusted, result in the com pleta attainment of the object sought-the lessening of risks of epidemics in this colony. The Brst case dealt with was that of the master of the 8.8. Kumsang (Messrs. Jardins, Matheson & Company).

The defendant said he came in on Monday at five o'clock. He had no knowledge of the orist ence of quarantine regulations regarding vassals arriving from Singapore, and as he had a large number of passengers on board- 850 in all, ➡he was naturally desirous of getting them ashore as speedily as possible. The docter, kowaver, did not come aboard until seven o'clock, and as it was then too late to disembark passengers, the defendant was put to the ex- pense of giving them their “chow" for that night. At no time, though, did he come inside In reply to the bench, defendant said he left Singapore on New Year's Day. Ho lay at Singapore for one day only, and although he asked his agents specially about the quarantine regulations at Hongkong-ho having heard ramoura that such were in existence-they could tell him nothing, as they had received no notification whatever. Even the agents at Hongkong know nothing of the regulations.

His Worship-I don't think the Govern. ment are under obligations to inform shipping agents. They might have made a practice of doing that, but they are not obliged to do it. I think that if the masters of ships were heavily fined the agents would make arrangements to be fully informed on such matteri..

A fine of $200 was inflicted.

•

In the second case Mr. Godge appeared for the defendant, the master of the sa. Glaucus (Messre. Butterfield & Swire). His client, he said, did not receive the summons until half-an- hour before his vessel sailed, and, consequently was unable to be present. His excuse, Mr. Gedge raid, was exactly the same as that made in the case just finished-no notification as to the quarantine laws here. The Glaucas arrived on Monday morning, and when the police launch cano alongside the minster at onea flow the quarantine fag. He was ignorant of the law, and Kad no wish whatever to evade it.

The humour of its author is as quaint and pleasing as evor, and it is not too Scottish-for which some renders may be grateful; but Mr. Barrie was never of the kailyard school at heart, though he has ignorantly been confounded with them. Ths story he has taken to write round is an excel lent one. There are characters in the book whom we are glad to have met. Why then does the book irritate?
