Elizabeth City, N. c.. March 21.--A
friend who was on the spot in New
Bern furnishes the following in regard
lima patrol steamer Lille. The COM
mission, appointed Il committee of three
OF its members to so to the steamer
and take peaceable possession. They
ala so, going aboard without any re-
sistance or objection on the part of
the captain. Chairman Clayton was
invited in the aft saloon, and he i'm
mediately informed the captain that he
had come aboard to take charge OF the
steamer in the name of the State, read
ing the law passed by the last General
Assembly, in which the Shell Fish
Commission were made custodians of
the steamer. The captain replied that
ne was placed in charge by Mr.. Theo-
uore White, and knew nothing about
IL; That Mr.. White would arrive in a
few days, whereupon the chairman
paced ship keeper aboard and took
an inventory OF equipments, &c. Dur
ms All ms time no protest wac; enter
ed by the captain. This was 1880 a.
IN. While in session in the afternoon
information was received by the Shell
u lSii Board that the captain and crew
mad not vacated. The committees re-
turned TO the steamer and sent for a
policeman, when they were informed
that they must so ashore. The captain
SAID he would do SO, and requested the
policemen To assist him, which was
done. The committee evidently thought
they mad quiet possession. except from
80 to 5:i0 y. m., when the board was
informed that the captain still re-
NAMED on the steamer. There was no
contention, the ship-keeper performing
the duties assigned him without hinder
ance or protest. The Lille is still i'm
the hands of the new board. and will
leave New Fern to-day to cruise around
the oyster grounds.
