Years ago. It DOwnievIlie. California,
famous trial was being had, in which
"A number of The first lawyers of the
coast were engaged. Among the num-
Der was Judge Mcdaniel. who was
then in the zenith Of his fam as a
lawyer and advocate. The ease had
been long and tedious, and the lawyers,
as sometimes they must be, had been
proIiN and dreary. The jury, however.
had borne up manfuily. until ore day
AT noon. when it came to Judge Me
Conneifs turn to speak. Before the
court adjourned. the Judge asked Mr..
Mel onuell how long a time his arCu-

attorney replied that he thought about
three hours. The recess was had, but
when the court reassembied, it was
found that in the interval one of the
jurors had committed suicide, avow-
ing. it is said, he could not stand
everything. Serious affair as it was,

and the story got out that the juror

AFTER SIX YEARS
A Skeleton Fcuai at Saaceiito Ex-
plains the NysteTy OF u Mi..inE
Man.

In one of the canyons near Saucelito,
there WAS found ON tridav last a skeie
ton, which. in the light OF subsequent
developments, goes far Ia explain the
mystery of sudden Disappearance
which occurred in this city some SIX
years ago. At that time Il man known
by the name Of George Bram>tone was
in the employ of Cutting Il Co., by
whom and his fellow workmen be
was highly esteemed. Having an
nonncei iis intention Of returning tn
England. his native country. his EN-
pIoyers presented 10 him a watch,
with the inscription IF. &. 10 G.. b.
AZ a token of their esteem. Shortly
-t;er this he suddenly disappeared.
and, iii spite OF the most perSsvering
search on The part OF his iritnds. no
information could be obtained regard
ing him. The skeleton, however,
found at SauCe!ito makes 1t clear that
death prevented Bramstone's reappear-
ance among his friends. Among the
bones was found the identical watch
which Cutting X Co. had presented to
him. and the mOuldering remnants of
Il pair at boots established the identity,
tor the deceased had worn boots of Il
peculiarly stout style, and his right
foot was oddly shaped in consequence
of having been crushed hy a cart
wheel. II would seem as if Bransione
had taken his own life. hut the cause
OF his death viii probably remain
mystery forever. At the time OF his
disappearance he had nice little hal
ance in the bank. which has consider
ably increased since 10y the iudicious
management of sidney NJ. Smith, who
was appointed trustee of the dead
mans property. II is not known
whether lie went by his real name or
had any relatives. Letters and per

Draft of the Colonial Law, when it comes into
existence, ought to take part.
In accordance herewith the Committee has
framed the subjoined new Draft. which it recon-
mends to the Councils adoption only in
reference to 5 8 would the Committee beg to
observe, that the clause providing that Porters
and Cartmen shall be subject to the decision Of
the Policemaster in all cases regarding trans
gressions of duty, is recommendable from prac-
teal views.
10 the Draft before the Council an attempt
is made to define what is to be understood by
Porterwork. The Committee has, however,
thought it better to avoid all attempts in that
respect, as it is scarcely possible to determine
what sort Of work can according to its nature be
classed as porter-work, whereas it will mostly
depend on what custom and usage might have
established, and in keeping Herewith the Reg
ulatlons could contain the necessary provisions.

The Committee had rendered its Report,
as follows:
COMMITTEE REPORT
on the Draft Of Ordinance containing rules for
Porte7s and Cartmen IN the Toms of st. Cr0i1.
The undersigned Committee, after having
taken under consideration the Draft of Ordi,
nance submitted to the Council by the Presi-
dency, has unanimously arrived at the result
that 1T would be more advisable that the en-
actments on the various items of detail which
are requisite for regulating the matter treated
OF In the Draft, should not be given by an Or
dinance but by Regulations from the Superior
Authority so that the Ordinance will merely
contain +: firstly, the leading rule that permits
sion from the P~olicemaster must be obtained by
every person wishing to work as porter or cart
man, together with the stipulation of the fee to
be paid for such permission secondly, the ne
cessary warrant for the Superior Authority to
regulate the detail and finally, a rule for the
treatment of caSQs and of dicnufoc IN roo%tor,
under the Ordinance. There might be a ques.
ton as. to whether the Superior Authority
alone should give such Regulations, and if they
ought not also to be submitted to the Colonial
Council lin its capacity Of Communal Assem-
bly,; but the Committee thinks that in that
case there would be but very little gained by
withdrawing such items of detail from the con-
tents of the Ordinance, while such Regulations
do, no doubt, belong to that class of cases in
which the Municipal Board proposed in the
, 1875-02-06

Any person wishing to earn his subsistence
in either Ct the towns by working as Potter or
Cartman shall thereto obtain the permission of
the Policemaster concerned. Such permission,
which shall be indicated by a Sign or Pass, is
to be given for a term of 3 months at a time,
and for each time 1t is given, there shall be
paid a fee of5o cents, which shall accrue to the
Policeluud.

The P~olicemaster shall, however, be empow-
cred 20 permit a porter or a cartman to allow
another porter or cartman to use his pass tenn
porarily aud in the same manner the Police
master shall also be empowered to give, free Of
charge, permission to females to assist, for a
short time, with porter work on the wharf or in
lumber-yards, for instance in carrying lumber,
slaves. etc.
