had grounds of supposition that the prisoners were vagrants, still be punished them under the wrong act; the statute of Geo. IV. commonly called the Vagrant Act having been altogether suporseded by a Local ordinance, subjecting Vagrants to im- prisonment not exceeding 14 days, whereas the prisoners had already been in jail for a considera- bly longer period, and must be at once discharged. His Honor requested the Chief Misgistrate in fu ture to pay attention to the Palice Regulation and Local Acts, and not to Acts of Parliament obso. lete in practice.
We have news from the same place (Amoy) to the 24tb, of a much more satisfactory nature.
Alable trading jook was recently captured by one of the numerous bands of pirates which infest the coast of Fuskeen, and Captain Loring, of the Sood, having eceived notice of the fact, kept a sharp look-out, and was fortunate enough to seize 69 of them, with their prize, Three were left on beard, and the remaining 86. most of them despe. rate looking raffians, were sent to the British Con- salate under a sergeant's guard of marines, and 100 Chinese soldiers, the crowds in the streets through which they passed booting the pirates, and mani- festing the utmost delight at seeing the English and Chinese military acting in unison.
At the desire
of the Conant and Taoutae they also kept guard to gether over the prisoners during the examination, at which Mr Laytoo presided, Though it was con. ducted principally by Tchen, the Commandant, one of the Chinese officials present, who, we are infor med, manifested throughout the greatest ability as well as moderation.
The prisoners were brought up in divisions of fire at a time the declarations of each being pa- tiently listened to and carefully noted down. Two of the gang were pronounced innocent, and the Built of other four was considered doubtful; but all the rest, except a boy of fourteen years of age, who was spared at the intercession of the Consul, were despatched to Feo-chow-foo, where they will pro- bably be bebeaded. Captain Loring, who was pressat in court, was cordially thanked by the Taou- fae, and we understand a proposal has been made to Bend out the Scout to scour the coast, with the co- operation of the Chinese authorities.

The next duty of the Chief Justice was to nat nside the inquest upon the bodies of five Chinese who had been drowned in an affray, out of which arose the proceedings before the Magistrate just recorded, on the ground that the form of proce. dure before the Coroner was irregular and illegal. The Corroner had, un the verdict of manslaughter, committed five persons to prison. It appeared that the prisoners had been sworn, whereas the simple statement of other witnesses whose eviden- ce could not have gone to criminate themselves bad On being asked by the been deemed sufficient. Chief Justice us to the manner in which he laid down the Law to the Jury with regard to the evi- dence as it bure on the law of homicide, the Coro- ner said he had gone very fully into the subject, on which the Chief Justice remarked that, he must have given them so much law as to have quite confused them' --Cal, Star, Jan. 11.
