THE STRAITS CURRENCY QUESTION.

SOMB RESULTS OF THE PENDING.

LEGISLATION,

Pending the introduction of the new Straits dollies, the currency question affords ample scope for discussion and speculation, says the Straits Tiviies. The effect of the new Coin Import and Export Bill is a matter, for ex- ample, an which nolandy seems to agree. It may be sted, however, that notwithstanding the Governor's assurance that the circulation of Mexican dollars will not be interfered with, at least for the present, there is a distinct desire on the part of shopkeepers and others to get rid of the suspected coin. The change that ane receive has, a marked tendency to consist largely of Mexican dollars, while what may be termed the British dollar withdraws into an unmerited seclusion. The Banks, of course have long since turned their faces against the illegitimate speculation of money-mongers and it is well nigh impossible now to get money placed on deposit receipt. Another aspect of the position,

one that does not affect all, however, is the disinclination of the Banks to issue anything but s Iver dollars in return for cheques, even for large amounts. A cashier at the end of the month, lor instance, requires $3,000 in order to pay the salaries of the employés. Uuless he has a fairly large share of the guile that is supposed to belong to the serpent he may find himself sadly in- convenienced by the policy of the Banks.

· Certainly, the Bank, will cash his cheque; but they will give him $3,000 in silver for it Here is a forenoon's work in counting the money alone. One local cashier got over the difficulty of dealing with these piles of silver by straightway placing the $3.000 cheque to his own ac.ount and issuing his own cheques to the employés That threw the burden of distribution on the Rank and, needless to say, it was not long before a compromise was arrived at, the Bank, it is sta ed, agreeing to cash the cheque with $1,50, in notes and $1,500 in silver.

But these are merely minor worries that have cropped up on account of the general un. certainty that marks the situation. There is the effect of the new Bill 10 be considered. To the opponent of the Bill it is pointed out that it is not a new Bill at all. It has been in force, we are told, for twenty years. But there is the radical difference between the old law and the pro-

Although there was no- bigg.at p escot jp show that the search was unsuccessful-Although as a matter of fact de fendants admitted that no opium was found, and no was seizure mate-be submitted that under that section of the Ordinance plaintiff's claim must be adjudicated upon at the Magis tracy and not before bis Lordship..

His Lordship :--Let us hear what Mr. Slade

says,

Mr. Slade replied that section 48 dealt with damage done to goods duri g-search for opium under sections 79 and 30, but in this case not starch was made under either of those sections, it was made under section 31. The remainder of the claim referred to unlawful entry into No 173 without any warrant at all and for general misbehaviour.

His Lordship I have not the slightest doubt that I have jurisdiction to hear this. It
