OFFERING A BRIDE,
A Chinaman, who came from the country to see the Coronation festivities, was charged with offering a bribe to a Sanitary Inspector on the 28 ultimo. It appears that William H.. Coulter, who was then in the employ of the Sanitary Board, was detailed to cleanse some
houses in Centre Street. The defendant ap
pened to be staying at No. 43 with some friends, and he offered the Inspector a bribo. When cross-examined by Mr. D'Almada e Castro, said that he was not appointed by the Secretary who appeared for the defence, the witness of State, but by the Sanitary Board from 22nd April to Joth June. He was charged some time ago with receiving bribery as an officer of the Sanitary Board, "but discharged by Mr. Kemp. He never sent any one, nor did he go himself to the defend- ant's house and ask him to pay him to go to Macao, when he would withdraw the charge.-
