"A POINT FOR SHIPMASTERS. ·
EXCESS OF PASSENGERS A MISDEMEANOUR,
Mr. C. A. D, Melbourne gave his reserved de- cision at the Police Court this morning on the point of law, which was raised yesterday by Mr. P. W. Goldring when the captain of the steam ship Telemachus was summoned by Detective Sorgeant Wiklen, of the Water Police Station, for Esiling to stop his vessel on the 10th January last when called upon to do so by the police.

In a few minutes it was all over, the Chinese lanterns on the fonom were extinguished and the Röyal party had gone.
"A policeman saw some sminke issuing from building in course of cousuction near the Praya and frantically blew his whistle. A coolie, who also had a whistle, bided him with Another blast and was immediately arrested on a charge of stealing a police whistle. Ho proved his innocence and was allowed to go.
