THE "CHINGTU" CASE.

BKIFOWNERS AND THE VAGRANCY ORDINANCE Among the correspondence received yesterday from the Chamber of Commerce was the follow lug letter pointing out the desirability, In the Interest of shipowners and shipmasters, of having the Vagrancy Ordinance umanded in an obviously neceAY MADDEE

General Chamber of Commerce,

Hongkong, January 5th. Sir, I am directed by my Committee in bring to the notice of the Government what seems to them a defect in the law relating to Impecunious persons landed in this colony as embodied in Ordinance No. 12 of 1885 known as the Vs grancy Ordfance.

In November last the master of the British steamer Chingly was fined $600 for detaining eight Japancia nowaways on board his ship tới. thirty-six hours after her arrival in part from Kobe, The defendant sought to fastlly his action by pleading the Vagrancy Ordinance, which forbids the master of a merchant vessel, ander heavy penalties, to land, or to permit to be landed, in the colony any persons without visible means of support.

My Commitire are of opinion that the law as Hands imports a great responsibility on ship- owners and masters, and places the latter on the boins of a dilemma. If they allow stowaways

or destitutes to land, they become responsible for their malaicance, besides being liable to pay in addiiton sil costs and charges incurred in connection with them; it, on the other hand, they detain such persona on board until they bave communicated with the authorities they are, as in the cus of the master of the Chingis, llable to fine for false Impriicament.
