Captain Alfred Roper, OF the British
steamer AMER Head, had partial examina-
ton Monday afternoon before Commissioner
O'Beirne on the charge of having assaulted
Pack Wal, the Chinese interpreter en-
ployed by the Custom house officials. The
| complaint related the circumstances of the
assault in the choicest language, and stated
that Captain Roper had almost knocked
the intellect out of him. When ques-
toned as to his authority in the premises,
and whether he held an appointment or a
commission, he became as blandly ignorant
as if his intellect had but just dropped,
and no amount OF questioning would bring
out direct answer. Richard Smith, a
friend OF Captain Roper. who was dining
with him on the day when the assault was
committed, deposed that the Chinaman
entered the cabin unannounced and that he
beckoned Captain Roper into stateroom,
the door of which he fastened after him.
A few seconds later the Captain came out
and exclaiming Sd it, no this fel.
low is trying to bride me !" he then kicked
| the Chinaman out of the cabin and off the
ship.
