the case. the first fall was won by BibDy IN sam

the start caught Cbristol around the body

The blockade of the water front on the East
River between South ferry and Coentes slip. caused
by the unprecedented number of canal boats in port
has been considerably essened. The spaces between
the piers from pier to pier o. inclusive reserved
by law for the of canal boats at this time OF the
year; but. was stated in yesterdays HERALD. the
inland Of the State has outgrown the pres
ent accommodations for the boats when they reach
New York. Consequently the recent order OF the
Harbor Master, which caused little coinmotion
among the boatmen, was made necessary. In COM
pliance with this order the boats which have been
three days at the piers are ordered away to the Erie
and in the newly arrived boats and
barges have had to be sent to the basin without
being able to reach the piers. The arrivals of boats
yesterday numbered 1O5 but they were all disposed
OF i'll safety and without impeding the navigation of
the East River in the neighborhood of the Battery,
which threatened when the Harbor Master for
the first time exercised the privilege which the law
gives him of removing the boats.

In TIE POLICE CoURT.-A somewhat singular
case came before his honor, Judge Jones, of the
Police Court, on the 18th inst 1t was prosecu-
lion against Dr. Tisdale, OF this city, practicing
physician, for refusing 10 attend case at night of
= man who had been stabbed in a drunken brawl
In justice to DR.. Tisdale, las We are informed he
gave as reason for not attending the case that be
had al the time an obstetrical case on hand which
required that he should not leave his Office as he
was liable to be called upon at any moment, and
SO stated 10 the person who called him to go to
attend the man who had been cut This was Of
course, sufficient excuse on the part of Dr.
Tisdale, and would have been good defence
against the prosecution in court, but the case
turned upon another aud quite different point AL
though Dr. Tisdale held printed license, under
the seal and sign manual of the Board Of Health Of
this Kingdom, authorizing him to practice as
physician, 1t appears that the license was issued
by the Board of Health under law that had been
repealed. before the date Of the license and con-
sequenty the Doctor has no license to practice as
physician 1.-THE above statement is really fact,
then the faulf is not with Dr. TisdaIe but some one
else. Dr. fsdzle,s license is defective, may not
other physicians on these islands be In the same
boat We have made The Foregoing explanation in
order 10 do justice In the premises and TO counteract
any wrong impressions that may have been formed
from common rumors as TO the facts in the case OF
the prosecution against Or. Tisdaie, who was dis
charged from arrest for the reasons above stated.

The ILLICIT TRAFFIC IN LIQUoRs.-A few weeks
ago we noticed in these columns the very repre-
hensible business of selling intoxicating liquors to
the people of the other Islands Our attention has
again been called to this subject Within the past
w@ek We have been informed that. so far from the
practice beingabandoned, II is now actually more
hagrant than ever before We have said on a former
occasion, and We repeat it now, that the officers of
the law the Islands where the Illicit traffic is
carried on, are directly responsible for this great
abuse. We are told that on Maui, the most villain
Gus liquors that can be manufactured are sold with.
out stint in open day by persons without au-
thority, and that both natives aud foreigners are
supplied dd h5itaan by the persons engaged In the
business. Why is 1t that such pratices are per-
mitteds Why is it that investigation is not made
10 detect the guilty persons and bring them to
punishment; Echo answers Why All that we
can do in the premises is to call the attention of
the authorities to this crying evil and if they will
not act, the evil must go on till the gangrene
spreads and all the body perishes. We have heard
that this Illicit traffic is carried on by Cinnamon
alone. This we do not believe, but no matter BY
whom carried on, the officers of the law should see
to it, that the violaters of the laws of the Kingdom
should be detected and punished, and that without
mercy.
