An Or,T> Acquaintance.—We find the following in the Daily Times of March 17 : Another " Heathen Chinee," as childlike and bland of aspect as he of the cards at 'Frisco, has fallen upon evil times, and into the hands of the Police. He had long lived by his wits, and is well-known to the gentlemen in blue as a frequent offender against British i law, and indeed is regarded as rather a notorious character. He rejoices in many aliases. Bani,Qnin is his name, ffi/w.s Sam Queen, «//<(« ; On Say, alias Pon link, alias Sing Nam, alias Flash Jimmy. Latterly he has been purauling a sad course of iniquity, and has obj taiiied a great deal of property by false rej presentation, and was about to transfer him - j self and his belongings to the free land of : America, when the Police interfered. Notice : of his misdoings, and of his intention to leave | the Colony by the. barque Niroline which i sailed for Boston yesterday, were given to tiie Police, the result being that whilst taking a quiet stroll at the Port on Snndav after- | noon, Flash Jimmy was confronted by Serigeant Neil, who informed him that he was j wanted. The flash one bowed to the decrees I of fate and to the inexorable Sergeant, and after spending a comfortable night in the I Port lock-up, was removed to Dunedin yesj terday, and will be brought up for examniaI lion at the Police Court this morning.
