First Police Magistrate. S Navigating Lieutenant, R.N., and Harbor Master. Un-Official Justice of the Peace. Government Marine Surveyor. Master, Mercantile Marine.
Confirmed, but nevertheless I think it right to put on record my opinion,-which is that inasmuch as both men have given proof of their ignorance and incompetency, they should have been deprived of their Certificates.
