A Magistrates Decision Under the
New oyster Law.

The lrst case under the late laws reguIat.
ing the taking and catching OF oysters, says
the st. MRry's Beacon, was tried before Justice
j. +. Morgan ON Saturday last. VIM. f. Wool.
wine and Robert Doyle, living on Blackistones
Island, 81. Mary'5 County, were arrested 10
having oysters In their possession, In violation
OF provision or the general oyster law OF tho
State. Tho defense made was that a local law
passed at the last session OF the Legislature
exempted certain portion OF st. Mary's
County, the tributaries OF the Potomac River,
from the operations OF the general law 80 far
as tho ofrense charged In this case was con-
cerned. The case was argued before
the justice by ID. o. Hammett for the
State and Robert q. Combs for the
narties accused OF tho violation. The Justice
Ftlecided that the law was unquestionsd; that
where the general law aud the local law OF
any county or district were In conflict the
local law prevailed; that the provision In the
general law which made II an offense to hAVo
oysters in possession between the fifteenth
day OF April and the fifteenth day OF August
connicted with the local law which, gives the
right 10 take and catch oysters for private use
in the waters OF the tributaries OF the Potomac
River during that time, and that therefore the
local law prevailed over the general law;
that under the local law tho taking and catch.
ing OF oysters for private use was not an or.
tense, and that having oysters IN possesAion
could mot DO punished under the provisions OF
tue general law.

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT FRAUDS.

what the Court of Inquiry is Doing.
The Naval Court Of Inquiry invostigat-
ing Navy Department frauds concluded
perhaps tho most important branch of their
investigations to-day. Beginning by the
thorough Investigations Of the Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery, the methods of keep
ing accounts, the precautions and SAFE
guards against fraud, the changes in the
system under General Wales adminstra.
tion, etc, they proceeded to conduct q sim.
liar investigation of tho other bureaus with
n view to discovering, first, whether frauds
were possible in the other bureaus also, and,
secondly, whether the differences In the
systems followed, the safeguards observed,
etc, rendered the officers Of the Bureau Of
Medicine and Surgery culpable and respon-
sible for the 1ooseness that made frauds in
that bureau possible and easier than in
others and whether the notifications OF tho
system during DIR. Wales administration
rendered these frauds still moro liable to
occur. W
Pursuant to this line Of investigation tho
chiefs of all the naval bureaus were ex-
AHMED Commodore Walker, of the Navi-
cation Bureau, being the last one, and con-
Guiding his examination to-day.
Tho court notified the Secretary of the
Navy that thigh inquiry tbps far had SO

tlOn of this Draft; it is necessary to have
new regulations on the Road Service very
soon; the other Draft on Horse. and
Carnage Tax is not i'll any close connec-
ton with the present matter. The reason
why that other Draft has not been further
ed after the Committees Report was
rendered is, because the Government had
found 1t necessary to propose some altera-
tons, about which the Government and
the Committee are IN negotiation. The
said Draft is not withdrawn; but it will
take some time before it can come before
the Council; while it is urgently necessary
to have Il new Ordinance concerning the
Public Roads.
2nd Member for Chtistiansted's Country
District Coulter would, before the vote,
which he supposed would now he taken,
beg the Chairman to take the names of
Members voting tor and against.
The Chairman said he would be glad to
comply with the wish of the honorable
Member.
The Chairman placed the amendment to
4 to insert the words fto the same
extent as hitherto' to the vote; it was
adopted with Z votes "A, viz: Coulter,
Willard, Raphael and Wassard not voting);
4 so amended was then tacitly adopted;
the amendment to s II was tacitly adopted;
and the amendment to 5 90 to alter LIST May
to LIST June was also tacitly adopted.
The Draft as amended at End and 3rd
discussion was then adopted unanimously
With Il, viz: Coulter, not voting).
The Chairman said it is not allowable
that Members abstain from voting on a
measure without giving their reasons.
2nd Member for Christiansted'S Country
District Coulter said this Draft is in such
close connection with the Draft concerning
the Horse. Carriage-and Boat Tax, and as
this latter has not been brought forward
for decision now along with the present
Draft, he could not consider himself iusti-
fed i'll voting for this Draft now.
