WiLtarmilt AND HARBOUR Draft
Mr. Trio3l4ll did not believe tied these dues would fetch so
much as before, on account of the state of the coal trade.
si.ie had suggested an alteration of the dues but that
tadvhsl to interfrre with trade. There had been an objection
made by parties to taking Harbour Mum, in eonaequenee of the
eveeptiiw male in favour .p 1 the liilUlilertl44 the Portland Com-
pany. Mr. Vertuc had bad a small steamer, which would
have been a great acquisition, but it was crushed by too Mary
dues. Ile tiuggeided remintlig the exception.
The Immix }Lima said the Portland steamers are one of
the greatest attractions of the plaoc, and he thought it would
be unwise to lay Upoll then, such burden. as would induce
the congiany to remove them.
Mr. Ttloaaa sold the Council must take care not to create a
monopoly.
Mr. Wain said that it rested with Capt. Comm when he took
the dues, as to what the ateatneni ahould ho chrirevd.
lIAToII laid they could nut 11:1111,Ve Be 4. farthing
from the Wharfage duos, or could they increase them, ler
(oar .4 driving away trade.
In answer to gathers, the Tows Clean said that If you
enformil all that the Stamlatera were liable to you would drive
them away. The question was whether other stcaniera should
be tilamil oil the mune fe.etteg as the Portland st.uners.
The Mul-rt M tYOR aahl the airrventent was that if the dues
ten, li.Werml, there would he other Isom which weuld csinto
down in the smuttier only, and take the crawl then, and then
g•. away during the other Ono. -

YOUNG MAN'S THIGH BHOLES.—Elward Devidge, 6
married man of Mallama, on Saturday motel last,
had • very narrow eiespe f being crushed to death,
and wan in et.] ye-, a elects!, hurt. lie wee at the

make his case very doubtful. It Is • sad affliction foe

Jereey butter to sell, went. thrcu.;ll the Grove-roiid,
offering ler tale a number of nicely got up pi•its,

roasted beef suet, and the ether wan of a lighter colour,
but still not at all like butter, but cloae,y restrubling

the darker portion were even found t'..e "colloph" The
oonnty pollee were appealed to, but there is no analyst
or adulteration anklet, and the polio:* did not see their
way to reeommend any steps to punish the party.
Certainly, if what we saw wee a fair specimen of the
stuff, it seems strange if thiamin could uot beproaeouttd
for obtaining money under false pretouees.
THIS POLICE AS COAL lIIITZIts.—A great deal of fuse
was made by some of the Liberal Government, against
the pollee becoming inspectors of nnisimees; but now
the Portland force hare tried a now lino of buminees,
one which is wares likely to make them thonetit "office re
and gentlemen." It seems that Edward Anthony,
carrier for Mr. Comben, was engag,ci to oonvey a
ton of coal to Portland Castle where the family of the
Rev. J. Crofton still reside. P.C. Loa 4er observed
him at Castletown taking • bushei off the dray,
and placing it behind a poet. Warm he was gone on
Loader marked the bag, and eerptired of Mr. Gomben
if Anthony had a rieit to take coal eltiowhere. Wing
answered that he only had to take it to the Cestle, r.c.
Loader stopped Anthony and took him into custody.
The Crofton family could not tell whether the Goads
were short or not; but they knew there had been none
in the place before the ton wee brought, as the servant
had swept it up. Sergeant Florence, and Constables
Loader and Rogers, then had the Moe little jab of
weighleg tbe coal left behind in the milers, and they
say they found • bushel short. Anthony was on Wed-
nesday taken to the county town.
