My remarks are directed principally to the trita- ting, vexatious, and high-banded manner in which they are carried out by the subordinate officials of the Sanitary Board.

On Friday last, the 8th inst, about 4 pa Was informed by some clients, the owners of large hongs in Bonham Strand, that they had received verbal notices from Policeman No, 103 that afternoon that the "Whitewash Bricade," with its irresponsible constagent of soldiers and coolles, were coming round next morning at 7.30 a.m. to pull down thele cock- Jalte, etc. I was there myself next morning (Saturday) at 8.30 m., and found all-klads of perishable and valuable trade goods being urned out from the different floors into the street in a very rough manner, and some articles even thrown into the street from the first floor verandah. The coalies washing the wETAD- dabs in some cases allowed the dirty water from the verandahs to ran on to my clients cargo and stock-in-trade in the street, damaglog some of it very considerably. The "gang" some legal cocklofts pulled down in there bouter, although they were can- floned against doing 2, and some of my clients protested byalost it, and also enquired how it was that the Salary Hea'd were not consistent In their proceedings, why they made "fish of one and firsh of another," and pointed out that whlie their cocklufts were being pulled down, other, and illegal, cocklofts in the neighbourhood bad been permitted to remain up, baring bees pasted by the Santiary authorities when clearing the respective premises, I informed Mr. Ede, the only unofficial member of the Board, of this, and be, with Mr. McCallum and myself, visited referred to containing, the Blegal cockloits.

I understand that Mr. McCallum subsequently promised to allow the owners to reinstall their "legal cocklofis, and said he would endeavour to obtain reasonable compensation for their damaged goods, which were principally valuable Chineir medicles.

The Act of Congress, koown as the "Harter Act," passed in 1893, contains a clause declaring that if the owner of * vessel transporting merchandise or property to or from any port in the United States shall exercise due diligence to make the vessel in all manned, equipped, and supplied, neither the vessel, har respects, seaworthy and properly owner's agents, nor charterers, shall be held responsible for damage or less resulting from famits or errors in navigation or the management of the vessel.

The Supreme Court has decided that the Act does not apply to actions between vessels and their owners, but was designed simply to regulate the liability of vassels toward the owners of Cargo. As part of the bistory of the legislation, the Supreme Court quotes a part of a pethion addressed by the Glasgow Com Trade Associa tion to the Marquis of Salisbury, which was embodied in the report of one of the commliters to the House of Representatives. The com plafat there made was of the legib and complexity of bills of lading. Shipowners, it was said, constantly added new and stringent provisions to relieve themselves from fabilly for loss. The Harter Act provided that the owners should not be relieved from ilability for thele negligence or fault even if the bills of lading contained clauses freetes them from such responsibility. The provision declaring that the shipowners were not responsible for loss when they bad sed care themselves was inserted, but it was designed only to affect the mistions of the vestels and cargoes rather than those of one vessel to another injured by a collision or otherwise.
