Chief Detective Inspector Hanson left by the Ballaarat on the 24th ult. for England, where he has gone on a nine months' trip. The post left tempor.rily vacant by his absence will be filled by Inspector Cuthbert.
▲ Government Notification was published on the 29th ult. announcing the receipt, through M. Réau, French Consul, of a telegram stating that Hongkong has been declared by Indo-China to be infected with both plague and cholera, and that Asiatic immigration from this port is prohibited, as is the introinction of cereals, flour, drills, rags, old clothes, and bedding.
While the Japanese Crown Prince, who is now visiting the provinces, was driving to the railway station at Takasahi on the 21st instant, the N.-C. Daily News says, a hunchbacked dwarf approached the carriage to present a petition relating to the poisonous emanations at the Ashio copper mine, which question has long been publicly discussed. The petitioner was arrested, but requested the officers to forward his petition.
On the 25th ult. & Chinese servant girl of seventeen, residing at 103, Wanchai Road, met her death by falling from the roof of the building wherein she lived. The distance was forty-six feet, and she was killed instantaneously. The unfortunate girl had been hanging out clothes to dry, and when she was finished made a foolhardy attempt to walk along the parapet of the roof, with the result stated.
The disastrous house collapse in Cochrane Street last year, following upon and due to weather such as we are now experiencing, is still fresh in public memory owing to the heavy death-roll which attended it, and fears have not been wanting that the heavy rains of the past few weeks would bring about further accidents of the nature of that in Cochrane Street. These fess have been proved not to be groundless-as indeed was only to be expected when the archi- tectural monstrosities that deface the Colony in many places are considered. Two collapses have occurred, happily, however, without injury to any person. One was that of a building in course of erection in Caine Road, and the other $7 took place at 280, Queen's Road West, near 5 the scene of the big fire. In both cases the cause of collapse was the same-the joints were 4 soaked by the rain and opened out, with the
inevitable result that the erections gave way.
