CHRLST1ANSTED, ST. CROZX
Saturday 18th February 1880.

The Manager Of the Central Fac
tory has kindly placed at our disposal
some information in regard to the
starting of the Factory, the particu-
lars of which are very encouraging.
1t is too early to form anyidea Of what
the present campaign Will be, but we
can only hope that it viii continue to
be equaLyfavorable with the opening.
AS we mentioned in our issue of the 21st
four of the stations had started within
two or three days Of the arrival of the
coal vessels. After these Jour stations
had been ct work for a few days, the
manufacture Of the expressed Juice
was commenced at the Factory on the
goth, and on the 21st the first strike
OF sugar was taken. It was evident
during these first operations that the
work of the Factory went forward at
a rapid rate. A change which had
been made III the e~vaporating maclti-
merry after the close Of last season
worked very satisfactorily, and the
boiling in the Vacuum Pan was also
got through in a very short time.
While in the FIRST day or two it took
ten hours TO finish a strike, it has since
required only from q to s hours, and
there is thus ample time to take
off within tho time Of "a hours
two large strikes of 1st Product
sugar and two Of 2nd Product. The
juice stations are calculated to
grind zoe, 900 lbs. OF cane day, max
ing for the five stations 100000 lbs.
OF cane daily but under favourable
circumstances they could take CON
siderably more. Since the four sta
ton have been at work they have
themselves on several occasions re-
ceived more than a million pounds in
a day. As the Factory proved to be
in a condition to keep pace with a full
supply, and as not more on the aver
age than 200, 900 lbs. could be reckon
ed on from each station, it was neces-
sary, 50 as not to let the factory suffer
from want ofiuice, to start the fifth
station, namely that at Fair Plain
This was done we understand on the
25th inst, 80 that we have the
whole establishment at work, which
was rarely the case in the two former
campaigns. The sugar produced is OF
particularly good quality, beautiful
in colour and of large grain. From the
21st to date 1,5Ao bags of first quality
have been made, besides AGO bags of q
third quality sugar from molasses Of
the former season.
The good results thus far obtained
must be attributed partly to the many
judicious changes made in the estab.
lishment since the last campaign, and
partly to the excellent quality of the
juice which is now supplied. Thus
far the Factory has shewn itself able tc
work up the quantity Of canes it was
calculated to receive, and there is good
reason to expect this season a reduced
crop. In this connexion it may also
be observed that while the juice is now
comparatively rich, giving Is per cent
of sugar, experience has shewn that ii
may be expected, later in the season,
to contain as much as II or 18 p. c.,

the surherance OF justice in suspicious cases
OF death, the law provided that in such cases
one and II deemed nece; sary three competent
make an examination, with powers to cite wit
nesses and take testimony like coroner when
there should appear in their judgment reason
to do 80. A case occurred the other day 10

frequent outrages which occur under the ordi-
nary coroner system. A man named Mayer
died suddenly. Upon bis person were two hun
dred dollars in money. An undertaken was
called, who proceeded to arrange for funeral,
meanwhile taking possession OF the two hun
died dollars, While the funeral ceremonies
were proceeding, coroner named Mann enter

then went out and got al officer, and arrested
the undertaker. While the undertaken was
gone. the coroners men pulled the corpse out OF
