A Saturday's hearing Mr. Turner (of Messrs... Deneon, Looker, Deacon and Harstany prosecuted on behalf of the Dairy Farny and Mr. T. H. King De -puty Superintendent of Police, again police authorities, watched the case in the interests of the At the outset. Mr. Turner mentioned that there Was the pail but he hoped to bring evidence no direct evidence to show that the accused put the milk into that would convince the Magistrate that the defendant was the man who kept back milk that should have been sent to the depot, and left it in the pail, and that that was a larceny.

DIFFICULTY OF DESCRIBING THE OFFENCE,

The Magistrate: I have to look into the question of larceny. You argue, I take it that the milk was in the posses- of the cow and he, being a servant, took sion of the Dairy Farm in the udderf it out of their possession affence he guilty of defrauding the Company

The Magistrate By leaving a pail Mr. Turner: In holding back milk for where it ought not to be 1 purposes of his own

The Magistrate: Purposes of the police? I don't want to defeat the ends of justice, at all, but the offence dis- closed at present is a little intangiule. It amounts more to misconduct as a servant.

Mr. Turner: If you are of opinion that he has taken milk out of the Company's possession in order to give it to a receiver which I take to be the position of the police in this case-then the defendant is guilty of a criminal offence.

The Magistrate: It is important to get a business carried on honestly, of "I have a dim reenlicction of get. ting milk at the back of a dairy farm my self.

The result was that the ship was un- able to proceed to Canton that night. Hnd she gone without the guard, the owners and the master would have been rendered liable to prosecution, notwith- standing that the Harbour Office earlier in the evening had granted the ship het clearance papers. The ship's owners had to bear a loss estimated at a thousand dollars-a pretty severe penalty for the failure to pay into the Treasury n sum of $130 on the due date

It seims very drastic action on the part

tion apparently with the Harbour Master of the police to take a step of this character without previous communica or without proper warning to the owners and master of the ship. It appears there were other delinquent shipowners, but the little Hai Song was selected for the purpose of giving a general warning of the possible consequences of failure to make the payments within the stipulated

time.
