At yesterday's meeting of the Legislative Countil an interesting discussion took place and an important explanation was given regard ing the new Water Bill.

An unsigned copy of instructions to carry out the rider mains with- that petition was sent to the Secretary of State out waiting for the submission of this report by the Officer Administering the Government, or for its transmission to the Colony Now, with his remarks upon both the Ordinance and the petition. On the 3rd of September the signed petition was sent forward by the Officer Administering the Government with a despatch which stated that it was signed and practically unanimously supported by the principal Chinese fandowners, merchants, traders, and shop,† keepers. On the 6th of September another despatch was forwarded conveying the sugges tion that an amount of money should be authorised for the purpose of supplying street fountains, but that if the Bill which had been sedt home was not approved, that money

The reasons which have led to the in- troduction of a Bill for that purpose are that on further consideration it has appeared that all the objects aimed at by the Bill of 1902, prin- cipal among which is the supply of a sufficient quantity of water to the town of Victoria with the least possible waste, may be effected with out incurring the hardships which the Bill of 1902 would have unavoidably inflicted on certain section of the coinmunity using water. The means by which this will be effected is known technically as the rider-man system, which can be shortly defined as a menus by which a supply of water can be regulated to blocks of houses as effectively as it can be by meters in the case of single buildings. The Director of Public Works has provided me with a very full and at the same time succine statement of the objects and reasons for the introduction of this Bill, and as they are printed, a dI do not think I can add anything

to them which may in any way assist the Council in coming to a conclusion on the Go-principles of the bill. The principle, really And truly, is that while we can we ought to

*" LOONGSANG" CASE AGAIN.

CAPT WEKEL MAY BE TRIED.

· Judge Crossfield, of the Court of Customs Appeals, rendered a decision in the case of the United States against Weigel, master of the Loongsong, dismissing the case as to the defendants, Smith Bell & Co., the ss. aong sang and Captain Weigel, and directing that proper crintinal procceilings be filed against Captain Weigel.

time, we heard arguments used, we adjourned the Council to look into these arguments and gradually reasons were given, until eventually after, I think some half-a-dozen meetings those members who were against it came round and gave their adhesion to it and then it passed to the Legislative Council with the result; think I am right in saying-1 am speaking from memory-that, immediately, the Legisla tive Council, knowing that it had been thresbed out most thoroughly in the Executive Council, were willing to let it go freely and without op position, and the Bill was passed. Then I think I am right in saying that your Excellency yourself' when you came back to the Colony described it as a mast excellent Bill. The present Bill came in me the other day and its first reading was an absolute surprise. i got an order for the Council to assemble 48 hours before it did assemble and I happened to look over the arders of the day only a few hours

that telegram should have been "No; for we know no other way of preventing, waste than the way recommended by Mr. Chadwick, the export your yourself sent out," I admire his firmness very much, and I have no doubt it is a very pleasant feeling to now and again to be able to call the tune while y jur neighbour pays the piper. For the first time, after I received that despatch, I got a copy of the Ordinance and

examined the Ordinance, I examined the petition; and I examined Mr. Chadwick's report of the 10th April, and I did not think that the answer should be "No," because, having read the Ordinance for the first time, and also these other documents, I came to the conclusion that a compromise was desirable, very desirable. I communicated with the Chinese community, and on the 14th of November the representa tives of the Chinese met, and they forwarded to me the following resolution: "Resolved. That this niceting approve of the system of

Aci 356 of the Civil Commission provides before the Council. Then I read with surprise rider-mains; (2) that the cost and expense in their previous act which compelled the banks ing undelivered after the 18th instant, will be Nearly opposite the Hongkong Hotel with

that for certain violations of the Customis laws the Attorney General shall begin a criminal action against the offender. The Court in this case finds that Act 355 puls the Immigration Law on all-fours with the Customs laws in this regard, and that therefore it is the duly of the *Attorney General's office to bring a criminal. action against the alleged violator of the Im- migration Laws.

The decision is in the form of a ruling on the motion to dismiss the case made, by Collector Shuster under the order of the Court of First Instance.

•

The question involved in the ruling is the right of the Collector of Customs to bring act ion against and punish persons for the viola- tion of the immigration law: The finding of the Court on this question of law is that the Collector of Customs has not the authority unter the law to bring such action or punish such violation but that this authority and res- ponsibility lies with the Attorney General of the Islands.

The history of the present case is well known. The defendant Weigel, master of the Long gang, was ruled of hiving landed or having allowed to hind a Chinaman, Go Jug.o, who was not entitled to land by the provisions of the Immigration Act. Collector Shuster levied a fine on the S. S. Longsang, which was guar anteed by the rwners of the vessel pending a hearing upon the question of the Collector's authority to panish the alleged violation. Injunction proceeings were instituted, in the Court of First Instance, restraining the Collector from carrying out his ins; tituted fine. During the progress of the action in the Court of First Instance Collector Shuster was fi ed for contempt and in the end the tem- porary injunction was made permanent and

the Collector was ordered to withdraw. his case. filed in the Court of Customs Appeals against Weigel. Upon this order of the Court of First Instance, Collector Shuster fled a motion to dismiss his action in the Court of Customs Appeals and the present Ending of Judge Crossfield is upon this motion to dismiss..

The finding of the Court of Customs Appeal be reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States, as it involves the construction of a statute of the United States. It is not known whether any appeal will be taken. Under the peculiar circumstances in which the Collector finds himself he would have to ap peal from a derision allowing his own motion If he were to appeal in this phase of the case Some of the local legal lights say that this would place the Collector in the position of the man who attempted to lift himself by his bootstraps-Cablenetus,
