IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANT Baosiens.—Yesterday morning
a person of respectable appearance, named Patrick Rourke,
said to be a resident of Stockport, was brought before Mr.
Mansfield on a. summons under the 66th section of the
Emigration Act, for acting as a passenger. broker without a
regular licence under the act. Mr. B!uck was for the
defendant, and Captain Prior was on behalf of the emigra-
tion officers. The facts of the case were these. Some time
in March the defendant went to an emigration office, and
engaged a passage for a man named Anthony Goulding, and
three members of his family ; he paid the deposit. It
appeared that when the man and his family arrived in town
the price of the passage had increased, and the three
members of his family were sent out, but Goulding was
obliged to remain. Ile was paid detention money by the
defendant, but it was alleged he had secured commi,si.,:i on
the transaction. The defence, very ingeniously urged by
Mr. Bluck, was that his client had acted as a friend only.
This not being proved, a fine of £25 was inflicted— the full
penalty under the section is £5O. It was stated that the
fine would be paid.
