The evidence of Inspector Kemp, who had charge of the case, said the steamer was on a voyage from Canton to Hongkong, and when she arrived here he went on board and counted the passengers. Quite recently the Captain was fined $175 for the same offence, bit excuse then being that the passen zere rashed on to the boat and it was impossible

THE FROOKERS OF THE COMMISSARY SCANDAL The Commissary trials are proceeding slowly as the casos have been stabberaly fought by the accused men and numerous witnesses have been examined.
