Hot. R. SHEWAS-Suraly it is a pisin question-Can the police not take measures to prevent chair-coolies deserting their chairs? There san to no doubt about the meaning of that question.

HANSEN MARTY.

Mr. Grist said that before proceeding with the case he would ass his Lordship to refer to Captain l'aunier's ovidence as to the matter of by whom the plaintiff was discharged. Now that a translation of the ship's articles had been supplied, he saw that by clause 6 the owners agreed not to discharge any oflears without four months notice, but should the authorities or consular agoute judga it necessary officers would-be discharged and would not be entitled to any father claim. That was an entirely new departure in the de- fence. In bis evidence the Captain bad statad that the plaintiff was discharged in order to be replaced by a French engineer; that was by the owner's orders. He (Mr. Grist) took it that his friend would have been better pleased if the witness had said the plaintiff had been discharged by the orders of the consular authorities.

His Lordship asked if Mr. Hastings was in a position to prove that the Captain acted on the instructions of the consular authority.

Mr. Hastings stated that he was prepared to prove that the French law was that a French ship shall only carry Freach offers, but that that rule could be departed from on the authority' of the Consul when there were not sufficient French officers available; and when foreign officers had been shipped and on going to■ French port it turned out that Franch officers were available the latter must be shipped in preference to the foreigners. He did not my this was done by the shipping officer at Haiphong, but it was done by Mr. Marty, and if he had not done it he would have been compelled to do it by the shipping offour. He was not compelled, because he did it of his own accord. He was prepared to prove that.

Réau, Asting French Consul, stated tast according to French law all officers on French vessels must be French, and also three-quarters of the crew. The Consuls and authorities in the Far, East had the power of relaxing that rule where necessary. When Freash officer were not available, foreign officers could be shipped until French officers were available. In the case of foreign offers having been shipped and the ship coming to a port where French

ofcers were available the owners wero com- polled to discharge the foreign officers and
