guilty OF infractiOns Of the law and,
he adds in the absence of proper evi.
dence, little is done.
Mr.. Laidlaw then crificises the law,
recently passed, licensing, sailors,

"The clause rising the legal rate for
furnishing seaman from ten to thirty
dollars is very objectionable. 1t acts
as premium on crimping, S ange
as it may seem the most notorious
