such stories can receive. general credit
among our people; but they do, and the
majority hear and repeat them with awe,
without q smile at their comicality and
without the slightest curiosity to know
how the people were deceived, or indeed
without the slightest suspicion that they
were deceived. The present writer can
testify, however, that the English peaoan-
try, even if better now, which is possible,
were very little better 20 years ago. IN a
Derbyshire village he was told by the cler-
gyman that a gentleman from London on q
visit to the squire had been showing some
tricks in amateur legerdemain for the
amusement of the villagers, and among
other things had made a half,crown appa-
rently jump out of one tumbIer into ano-
Their. On witnessing this, a young villag-
or, a Sunday school teacher too, turned to
his next neighbour and exclaimed CHOW
do you mean to tell me that that wasn't
the devil Z" Yet who would despair of the
English peasantry7 May we have the
clear eye to see defects, bat along with it
the charitable heart not to make harsh de-
auctions. And then, perhaps, if the truth
we're told, we are not all as free from super
stition as in polite society we would have
it believed.

The Governor: The reason why 800
is proposed, is because it answers to 4O0Kr.
in the law for Denmark if that amount
can be paid there, it could be paid here
too.
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (HewittJ observed that if it stood,
that on repeated conviction, persons shall
be liable to II fine of 500, it would perhaps
be more acceptable; but as it is now, the
P~Olicemaster has it in his power for the
very first offence to infict a p penalty OF 500
at once. He was of the same opinion as
expressed earlier to-day, that $40 is a suti-
GENTLY high fine. Heretofore regulations
of the kind have been carried out without
fines or ordinance.
The Chairman explained that the Police
master is Judge in The Court of first in
stance; he does by far not always pass
sentences which cannot be appealed. III
all cases where fines are inflicted, the
Courts of Justice have a wide space be-
tween the minimum and the maximum, aud
S1o0 is by far not the highest fine warrant
ed we have up to $500. Every one must
admit that there may be instances where
the offence is so great and the party so
we'll off, that 800 in fine would not be
hard. He could not understand the oppO-
SltlOi ChdC hdu ptcH idlScu w tAO Cldu"C'
and he would strongly dissuade from al
tering it.

the judicial information given by the

can public police suits also be appealed?

The Governor said his original intention
in laying the letter before the Council was
simply to inform the Council of the results
of the ~licitation. But he had since been
informed, that ever since the establish
ment of the Colonial Council it has al
ways been the habit to submit such con-
tracts for the sanction of the Council, and
although the same practice does not exist
in St. Thomas, still he was not DESTROYS of
depriving the Council of any of it's rights ;
and he would now therefore beg leave to
lay the Contracts before the Council and to
ask it's sanction. The Council will see that
there is no increase, but, on the contrary,
q decrease of expenditure, even if it be
but small. The results had not been en-
tered on the Budget for this financial year,

FOR ST. CROIX.

Continuation Of Meeting Of 22nd September.
9Th Crownmember (Kalmer) would admit
that the fine needs not to be 800 i'll every
case; still there is a discretionary power
given to the Court to impose as much as
$1O0; it was his personal opinion that it is
a strong discretionary power. He would
not advocate a clause fixing the fines at 5
and up to 10 dollars for if labourers are
to he fined too, it would be tantamount to
no fine, as they could not pay. But the
highest amount might for instance be %
or so dollars /; the lowest being, as His
Excellency says scots or less. But the
sum of 800 does seem to be rather high.

leaving for Europe on the 25th inst.
for a period not exceeding 5 months,
and that Chief Justice Andersen,

With reference to the fact that the
payment for supply to the Garrison i'll
ChriStiansted has been increased l ct. pr.
man pr. diem, it is here observed, that it
has been necessary to allow this increase
because the sale of Rum i'll the barrack,
from which source the PurveyOr formerly
derived his principal profits, has been so
very much limited, that in future scarcely
any profit can be expected from that
source.
In Frcderiksted the payment for supply
to the Garrison is l ct. pr. diem above that
for Christiansted, which is natural, since
the number OF men there is so much less
than here.
1t will, for the rest, be noticed, that the
rates of payment for Hospital p~uryeyance
are the same for both OWNS.
1t will furthermore be seen that the new
fare for End class patients both places is at
the same rate as the former rate for 2nd
class fare.
In this respect it has not been possible
to effect a change Notwithstanding the
licitatiOn has been held repeated times;
still in order TO gain accurate information
Of the costs of this fare, an agreement has,
at the suggestion Of the HOSpitalcOmmiS-
sion in ChriStianSted, been made with the
Purveyor there, that for the first 6 months
the puryeyOr shall charge the Colonial
Treasury with the actual outlay for that
rate of fare, with addition OF 4 CTS. pr.
diem pr. patient for his trouble
The financial result of the new Contracts
for the Supply to the Military Force, the
Purveyance of the Hospitals and Supply
to Prisoners, in SO far as an opinion can
be formed i'll that respect by u calculation
based on the figures for 1883-S4, will be-
as follows:
The Supply to the Garrison in Chris
tianSted will cause an increased expcndi-
ture y. a. of .....-..... ......S 1924
The Hospital p~uryeyance there
will cause a lesS-eXp enditure

and an increased expenditure
including the addition propos-
ed this Year to the Sergeant

In all then an increased expen-
diture for ChristianSted Of. 27.T

NJ 1899

of the Danish WeStindia Islands,
st. Croiy, 22nd August 1854.
No. 1868.
AS the honorable Council will be aware,
the Government has this year caused
I"icitati0nS to be held for the p%urvey anCe
to the Military Force and the Sick at the
Public Hospitals in both towns as also to
the Prisoners in FrederikSted, all from the
LIST July this year.
The chief reason for so doing was the
desire expressed by the Budget Committee
Of the Colonial Council, that the regulations
for the ordinary fares for maintenance OF
the sick of the labOuring classes should
undergo some alteration, so that the Stlpu-
lated fare be brought more i'll agreement
with the general fare Of the lab0urlng
classes here, and whereby it could he
expected that a considerable saving would
be obtained in the expenditure from the
Colonial Treasury for End class mainte
nance, as hitherto furnished.
AS the PurveyOr i'll ChristianSted would
not agree to that alteration Of his contract,
which also comprised the purveyance to
the Military, unless the whole contract
were altered, it became necessary to give
notice for the cessation Of this contract,
and it was then found best to give notice
0lOO " UuO VI ODO LII "
tract for Frederiksted, 50 as thereby, if
possible, to obtain the same conditions
both places for the Hospital p~urveyance as
we'll as for the supplying of provisions etc.
to the Military Force. At the same time
the supplying of provisions for prisoners III
the Prison at Frederiksted was put up for
licitatiOn.
The result of the licitation has been,
that Mr.. Hvid has taken over the purvey-
ance to the hospital and to the Military IN
ChristianSted, in lieu of Lieutenant
J~ohansen; that Mr.. Mallgrav in Frede-
riksted has again taken over the similar
purveyance in Frederiksted, and that Mrs.
Birch has continued the supply to the
prisoners there.
The terms of the new Contracts, which
are now laid on the Councils Table, will
be noticed TO be very different from the
previous contracts; the chief differences are
the following:
for ChriStiGnSted
The supply to the Military was previous
~ paid at the rate of 20 cts. pr. man; now
it is 81 cts. pr. man;
Hospital Purveyance, 1st class:
