In the Police Court yesterday, Officer
| John Good was brought up for judgment
on charge of assault and battery on a
| Chinaman. The following is Police Justice
Bickerton's judgment:
This case assumes a very different
| character to the case of the three Chinese
| charged with the same offense as this de-
| PENDANT at the same time and place, they
not being officers or called upon for as
sistance by an officer. Defendant is a
police officer and it appears, accompanied
the Marshal to the Magistrates house to
procure the warrant. That the Marshal
| entered and returning informed defendant
that he had the warrant. He (defendant)
certainly had no right to question this, or
to ask to see the warrant. 1t also appears
that defendant entered the Tong Hing
Society house under orders from his
superior officer, whom he understood held
in his possession the authority He ode
fendant) also knew what offense was
charged in the warrant. 1t also appears
that there was rush of a large crowd of
men attempting to escape. The defendant
was forced back, unable to resist the rush.
and as he states, compelled to stop the
rush with his baton or club, knowing that
he struck some one, but could not say who.
1 hold a police officer is not bound to re-
main still and be overcome by crowd and
not use force; when he is following the
orders of his superior officer he is bound to
obey. To say that police officer must in
terrogate his commander as to the author
ity and the contents or fOrmality of his
warrant before he obeys and carries out
his orders, is so utterly absurd that it is
not worthy of comment. / understand
that this raid, as it is called, was under the
control and command of the Marshal.
That defendant and the other officers were
his assistants and under his orders, and it
was their duty to obey them. Our law
provides that any person is required to
render assistance to police officer when
requested by him. 1t certainly could not
be said that he was liable for assault and
battery, if he rendered the assistance the
law required of him; how much less a
police officer under orders. 1t is not for
me to pass on the question of the legality
of the entry into the building. Let the
warrant be ever so bad and the entry
illegal in every way, that may be grounds
for other proceedings and can i'll no way
affect the case against the defendant. He
was there and found what he expected to
find. Armed men met him, rush was
made to escape, he called on them to stop
or surrender. He was being overpowered
by the crowd. He had his orders from his
superior officer and he struck out with his
club. Defendant may be liable in a civil
action, but hold is not liable to a charge of
malicious assault and battery, and is there
fore discharged.

The ,rararoa at San Francisco.

On the 18th instant Messrs. J. d.
Spreckels & Brothers, Agents for the
Union Steamship Company of New Zea-
land, threw that Company's magnificent
steamer Mararoa open to inspection by a
limited number of invited guests at the
Oceanic Company's dock in San Fran
cisco. The steamer was brilliantly IL
Illuminated by her electric lights, and
thronged through the entire evening
by groups of spectators who were highly
delighted with her handsome appoint
ments. The dining-room was the center
of attraction, the light wood finishing,
together with the display OF the plants on
the tables, making the saloon look like
some private apartment rather than the
saloon of an ocean steamer.

ALLEGED EMBEzZLEMENT.
John w. Mccarthy, Clerk of the SUI
preme Court of California, Ar
rested.

By the Mararoa yesterday there arrived
! Detective J. Bee of San Francisco. He
| brought with him requisition from Gov
ernor Stoneman of California for the sur
render of John w. McCarty, at present in
this city, and who left San Francisco Janu-
airy ID, on alleged embezzlement of Govern
ment money. Mccarthy held the position of
Clerk of the Supreme Court of California
Soon after the arrival of the Mararoa De-
tective Bee of San Francisco called on
Marshal Soper, and the interview led TO the
arrest of Mccarthy in the afternoon on
charge of embezzlement. He was after
wards released on furnishing bail TO the
amount of 81 800 for his appearance in the
Supreme Court. The bond was signed by
Hon. w. c. Parke. Mr.. w a. Whiting
has been engaged as counsel for him.
On the 4th of January McCarthy's books
were examined by Controller Dunn. On
looking into the record book OF statements
filed at Sacramento, he found that they
were several weeks behind A book in
which are recorded the amounts of war
rants received from the Controller contains
in the margin opposite number of entries
the annexation In red ink, paid" The
total of the presumably unpaid warrants
is $11 OS7 76. Add to this 81 ,25S drawn by
Mccarthy shortly before his departure and
the amount of the alleged money unac-
counted for becomes apparently $12, AS rs.
This was about the maximum that the OPP
portunities of his position made it possible
for him to take He had received no fees
from Sacramento for the month of Deem
Der, nor did the Controller believe that
those of the Los Angeles Office had been re-
mitted to him. These latter would, any
how, be comparatively insignificant, hav-
ing amounted in November to only $45.
Controller Dunn would not like to say
that Mccarthy had embezzled, but he had
the results of the investigation of the pre-
vious year fresh in his memory and
was suspicious. He had gone through
the books with his assistants and
the fact was established that 50, 104
which were due the State for fees had not
been turned over to the Treasurer. The
legal and moral responsibility for the de-
fcency was assumed by McCarthy's
brother-in-law, John S. Kilsby.
1t appears that Mccarthy went hurried
ly on board the st. Paul on her last trip
from San Francisco, just as the gang
plank was being withdrawn. He was rec
ognized by Detective Meagher, who at
once reported to the authorities. An at
tempt was made to open the safe by an ex-
pert but it failed and it took four days
to drill the safe and open it. 1t contained
little of value. Clerk Spencer found one
small slip of paper, being warrant, No.
4,006, on the State Treasurer for $17 80,
signed by ]. w. Mccarthy, for a claim of
Wells, Fargo Il Co., dated November 80,
1885.
Since his arrival in Honolulu, Mccarthy
has lived quietly at the Hawaiian Hotel
His case will be watched with interest.

Notice to inspectors of Election

Notice to Inspectors of Election.
To the Inspectors of Election in the several Dis
tricts of the Kingdom;
Inquiries having been made whether persons
who are exempt from the payment Of personal
taxes by reason OF being clergymen, teachers,
pupils in High Schools, iremen, etc. or by reason
Of being over the age of sixty years, whose
taxes have been excused by the Assessor ac-
count OF Inhrmity or poverty, are allow ed by law
vote at the election for Representatives.
It is my opinion that all such persons entI-
tied TO vote. The Tax Collector should issue to
each such person receipt with the words
"QualIhed to Vote" upon 1t, which he must sign,
and In place of the amount of taxes he must
write exempt" or. ''excused." On the presenta-
ton OF this Tax Receipt TO the Inspectors Of Elec
ton their sessions previous the election the
Of the voter must be put the list OF voters
and the receipt returned TO the voter.
At the General Election to be held on the Sd OF
February, 1856, the votes Of such persons must be
received, unless challenged for other reasons.
