Police Report.

II the weather keeps on as hot and dry a. Il has
been lately, the business Of the Police Court will be
equal to none. Hot and dry weather induces people
that under any other conditions would hardly patro-
niEe fountains, 20 partake 40 freely Of water that the
quarters generally spent FOR stimulating dr0ughts %
liquor accumulate in pockets unused 10 any o~vorpiua
Of cash. During the last two weeks only three or
four light drunks had n cheerful introduction 10 Ills
Honor; but a change Of weather 10 likely 10 makeup
for the present loss Of spiritual transactions OF the
Court.
Mr.. Lougee withdrew his appeal and was fined
$500 aud costs for selling liquor without license.
kanu, a very likely hoodlum, stood before His
Honor during the last week. We thought we recol-
lected him by the dreamy look Of his eycs. II was
was the loudest and his energy In conducting the
outside stream Of the procession very remarkable.
Ever since that remarkable night the subject Of the
treaty had been the all-absorbing theme Of his mind,
and 10 be fully posted In Its workings as affecting
hoodlumism he sauntered 10 what he considered the
fountain Of light, and at Lenehan & Co.'S store AM
propriated 10 himself n box Of candles 60 investigate
lhe subject by the midnight candle, but unfortunate
y for him the light OF other eyes had watched the
Identical box Of candles, and boodlum and candles
we're brought very unceremoniously 10 the station
house, and kanu and his or might have been his
cendies were exposed to the coniemplative view Of
Bis Honor. How dreamily those dreamy hoodlum
eyes surveyed His Honor, as II studying every line
nent OF the judicial features, and dreaming with In
tensity Of thought upon what the near future should
bring forth. Two months imprisonment at hard

appears behind the scenes 10 investigate the treaty

tighten his path.
1t is often remarked that the natives possess no
genius for business and speculation. Mr.. NahInu-
hula gave q striking ~rcfutation Of this before His
Honor a few days ago. On arrival Of the Zoalandia
be had driven his wagon 10 the wharf and there
started quite q novel, ingenious and highly profitable
enterprise, the only drawback 10 which was that the
balance sheet turned out in favor Of a party who had
not been ut oil considered 10 be entitled 10 come In
for a lions share. The new enterprise consisted In
swapping a lot Of goldfish with a Cbinaman ON
board the steamer for n lot Of opium, which Vas
carefully slowed away In the wagon, but when our
trader was i~nwardly rejoicing at the splendid spec.
he was unceTemoniously arrested, and opium and
trader were brought 10 the station house, where Hls
Honor apparently not understanding the beauty and
ingeniousness OF this new enterprise fined our trader
Of the long name SEQ and coats. Goldfish gone 20
sydney, opium conhscated and 500 minus-it would
almost appear that the new enterprise has turned
out n failure and q loss.
