supreme judicial Court.


TuEsDAY-The following rescript was filed today
in the Office Of the clerk of courts for Cumberland
county in The matter of Benjamin f. Andrews, Pc
titicner, vs. King, mayor, ct ais:
1. Where officer is ''subject after hearing to
removal by the mayor, by and with the advice and
consent Of the aldermen" the hearing must be by
the "board Of mayor and aldermen A hearing BY
the aldermen is not sufficient.
2. Where an officer is removable in the manner
above stated for "inefiiciency other cause' the
mayor and aldermen must find sufficient cause to
exist as matter of fact, aad adjudcate, before
valid order of removal can be made. An omission
to pass upon the tru Of the charges, invalidates
the order of removal.
3. Where upon hearing of petition for writ
OF certorari the presiding judge with the consent
OF the parties rules pro forma only, that the petit
ton be dismissed without exercising his own jndg-
ment, the law court may entertain exceptions, and
upon them determine whether The writ should issue
a. In THE case. there was hearing by the board
OF aldermen only and there an omission to vote
upon the truth of the charges against the officer.
Hence the order of removal was invalid and the
writ should issue.
Executions sustained, writ of certiorari to issue

A TEmPEsTUoUs TRIP.



Last December, the schooner Sarah Louise,
Capt. James H hickey, started from Calais
on trip to New Bedford. The schooner en-
countered tempestuous weather as soon as she
was fairly out of that harbor. Portland was
reached after long battle with fierce winds
and terrible seas, and the vessel was brought
in here for shelter On leaving this port,
Capt. Hickey worked south, meeting contin-
ued rough weather until he got into the harbor
OF Gloucester. After rest here, the Sarah
Louise was again put to sea, only to be blown
OF. For week the master and crew were en-
. gagged In a hand-to-hand struggle with the
waves. 1t was la the most severe cold and in
the flying spray and breaking waves the men
were kept constantly at their posts. Severe
frost bites ensued, and when Salem harbor
was made at last the crew were completely ex-
hausted. The plucky skipper shipped new
set OF men, and again resumed his voyage.
This time, though only after encountering
great perils, the schooner made her run and
reached New Bedford, where the cargo was
discharged. Freight for the return trip was
taken on board at Cark's Cove, and the Sarah
Louise started for home in company with
about seventy sail. In crossing Nantucket
shoals, the weather became severe, and Can't.
Hickey pat back into New Bedford. Many of
the vessels in the fleet were caught out in
the rough weather and blown ashore.
Having reached New Bedford, the captain
and crew retired to rest after their exertons
and Jack Frost went to work. In the morning
the Sarah Louise was a prisoner, locked up in
the'ice, where she was held for month There
was no help for it, and Capt. Hickey in COM
pany with the crews of number of other
vessels lying near and in the same predica.
ment resolved to take life easy. An ingenious
captain of a neighhorDg vessel constructed an
ice boat which afforded abundant amusement
to the hardy mariners, whose love for sailing
received qualification in new and novel man
ner.
AT last, however, warmer weather came to
the relief of the imprisoned seamen snd with
TIE aid OF the cutter the vessels got to sea. The
Sarah Louise is now lying at Widgery's wharf.
In all the experiences of SO tough winter
Capt. Hickey has kept his vessel clear of debt.
He is now taking on board freight for Halifax
and will be ready for sea before long
The captain relates several instances illustra-
tive OF the straits to which sailors have been
reduced during the winter. Many OF the
captains Imprisoned in the ice with Captain
Hickey had no money and were at a loss to
obtain provisions.

SIR AIaB ROSE SHEA.
His Omcial visit to Washington. "a.


Sir Ambrose Shea, who arrived in this city
yesterday, en- route for Washington, said to
reporter: 81 am not in position to speak with
freedom, although before I return home I
shall try to give to the public my views in re-
gard to the fishery question, am business
man and not politician and / represent di-
rectly the business men of our colony of New
Foundland, and in a semi.officiaI sense the
government of the colony, and it seems to me
to be proper that should directly aommuni-
cate with your government, not indirectly
through the press even while feeling a high
respect for the press. New Foundland takes of
you much more than it sends to you; the bal
ance Of trade is in your favor constantly and
must be. We feel that we are in the right in
regard to the fishing question and chat when
better informed your people will admit it, We
do not like to have cur business constantly
tronbled. Ifepressnt directly and semi-offic-
tally the business men and the government of
our colony only, not of the Dominion. I shall
present the views of the business men of New
Foundland to the government at Washington,
and my views will be endorsed by my govern
ment- On my return may try to meet your
business men and talk with them directly.'
Sir Ambrose left for Boston at / O'Clock yes-
terday.
