The reason why the result of the past six months in spite of the reduced price on the old stock of leaf tobacco did not turn out more satisfactorily is to be attributed on one hand to the fact that the expenses on this stock still are rather high. They aggregate to about $8,000 consisting principally of interest ($5,500) and the remainder of godown-tent, insurance premium, transportation from the godowns of the former agents of the company to new godowns and piling up.

HARBOUR OBSTRUCTION.

AND TOUTING SAMPANS.

The complaints of captains of the Mercantile Marine regarding the obstructions caused by the rush of sampans to their vessels, as soon as, and sometimes even before, they show their noses at the entrance to this harbour, are, up to a certain point, just and pertinent, for they certainly constitute an increasing annoyance, if not danger, to those having to navigate the

water of this harbour. In this connection,

Mr. Grist said His Honour had no power to transfer a suit over which he had no jurisdic tion, and urged that no order could be made except an order of dismissal. The section with regard to transference merely contemplated that there was jurisdiction in that Court to

transfer:

His Honour said that "when the case was before him on the first occasion, a defence was raised by Mr. Grist that the document seed upon was, in fact, a lease and not an agreement for a lease, and as it was not under seal, then by virtue of 8 and 9 Victoria, C, 106, referred
