A POIN FOR SHIPMASTERS.

WHEN IS A MISDEMEANOUR NOT & MISDEMEANOUR?

"A"STRANGE: REPUGNANCE.

- PLAINTIFF SCORNS CENTS,

One might almost think the milionium had A very important point of law, which will be arrived when one hears of a suitor in the Sume read with considerable interest by the shipping mary, or-Small Dabis Court, waiving a puntos community, was brought out at the l'olice of his claim against a debtor in order that ha Court this morning, when the captain of the may not be compelled to touch the obnoxious steamsheemacki was ruinnosed under cents! When, such an announcement was Section 32 Sub- ection 2, Ordinance 1011 1899. made in the Supreme Court this morning, The point Mr. C. i. D. Velbourne will have before his, Hempar Mr. A. G. Wise, l'uisco to decide, and which will be sculed to merrow. Judge, presiding in Summary Jurisdiction, the morning, is: "uss the police siop a vessel Court held its breath; the legal lights held their breath, and the debtor gsped The without having just reason to believe that their breath, the wailing witnesses held felony or misdemeanour is being or about to Le committed in the waters of the Colony objector to the copper coins was plaintiff in two small cases, for $10.43 and $18.69, On the Court's decision will test the question whether, the Ordinance should be amended.espectively, and Mr. Barlow, of Messrs, Gold- The summons against the master of the Teleting and Barlow, appeared to fight both cases. Defendants were not in Court. In the dae machus was taken out by Detective-Sergeant

to step into the box to formally prove bis Wilden and was to the effect that the defend: order of procedence the plaintiff was requesied ant failed to stop his ship when called upon to

clains. In the first case plaintiff said his claim da so be the police on the roth January last,

was for Sin onl>.

Inspector Langley appealed for the prose cution. Mr. P. W. Goldring, of the firm of Messrs. Goldring and Bail w, who represented the defendant, said he had an objection to ni e on the point of law, Sub-section of the Ordinance mad:-' It shall be lawful for the Captain, Superintendent or other officer of police-not below the rank of sergeant-having com-jus cause to suspect that any felony or mis- demeanour hasheen orisabout to be committed in the waters of the Colony, to enter at all times, as well as by night and day, ints and upon any ship, boat, junk, ar vestel (not being a shop of war, or a vessel having the status of a ship of was), and to take into custody all persons species of being concerned in such felony ar misdemeanour and to take charge of any property suspected of having been stolen or unlawfully obtained." Mr. Goldring subunited that the intention of the police in signalling to the ship to stop was because they thought she was carrying an excess of passengers,

Later,

The Reichstag has been summoned to meet on the 19th instant.

The Centrum party is stronger than ever. A Radical has been re-elected for the Emperor's Division.

The elections are now completed. The new Reichstag will consist of so Conserva lives, against 52 in the old; Centrums, 105 against, 101; Socialists 43 against 79: Im perialists, ar against 22; National Liberals, 55 against. 51, and Radicals 39 against 30.

Japan and the United States. Reuter's agency in Tokio wires that the war-inik in the Americas press is ignored in Japan, and the idea of an ultimatum having ⚫ been delivered is ridiculed.

MR. JAMES BRYCE,

Inspector Langley-We don't admit that, your Worship.

Continuing, the defendant's solicitor laid stress on this point. To stop a ship, he con tended, the police must suspect that a “felnuy or misdemeanour." was being committed on board. Carrying excess of passengers was not a felony or misdemeanour" and therefore the police had no case. If it was for the purpose counting the ship's passengers that the officer requested the ship to stop, then he was acting ultra vives. This particular offence did not come under the meaning of the Ordin- ance, and Mr. Goldring held that an offence was committed,

"

|

His Honour What? You only claim Sto? Then what about the 43 cents entered in the writ?

Witness: Well, I do not want to claim for Ceals.

His Honour: Well then, you will only get judgment for $10, and costs.

In the second case the plaintiff disclaimed the 69 cents, and Mr. Barlow made a valiant attempt to get the plaintiff to explain why he waived the 69 cents' now, wlien he had allowed them to be entered in the writ of sum mour. Plainuff was proceeding to make a somewhat irrelevant statement when he was "pulled up with a round turn."

His Honour: Oh, don't ask him about cenis; he won't touch cents. He is quite contented with a deal in dollars. If he chooses 10 give up the 69 cents that's his lookout. 'e'll get judgment for $18 and costs,

The plaintiff left the Coutt smiling most blandly, and undoubtedly pleased with himself

SAMPAN AND MOTOR DOAT RACE. Standing on, the praya wall at Causeway Bay yesterday morning, waiting patiently for a tramcar, was a Chinese palice sergeant in plain clothes. In the typhionn anchore, to the north, was moored the steam launch Holloong while the motor bent Ban on lay quietly alongside the wall. When he had finished gazing up and down the road in the hope of finding the much wanted car, the policeman turned his eyes in the direction of the harbour, There he saw something which interested him. Tram after tram passed by unnoticed. He saw a sampan with four bags of coal on the deck, making as fast as she could go in the direction of the Hailong. He also heard the crew of the launch calling upon the same pan people to hurry up. The sergeant remains.
