feflterday at the Police Court a case was disposed of possessing interest to shipmas'ers and the shipping community at large. Captain M'Leod, of the brig Ethel,,shipped a man at Dunedin on trial without any agreement, or placing him on the articles. On arrival here the man is found unsuitable and allowed to leave the ship, and for this breach of the Merchant Shipping Act Captain M'Leod was flued 40s and 48s 6d costs. For the information of masters and those interested, we publish the clause (157) of the Merchant Shipping Aot under which the information was laid:—" If in any case a master carries any seaman to sea without entering into an agreement with him, in the form and manner and at the place and time hereby Id snch case required, the master, in the case of a foreign going ship, and the master or owner, in the case of a home trade ship, shall for each offence <TK<ura penalty not exceeding Ls."—'Cross,' Bth list* The following quaint but evidently sincere address was forwarded to the • Grey Eiver Argus' of the 10th inefc. by a settler at Jackson's Bay, requesting that,' on behalf of himself and ethers in the settlement it might be published:—"Sir,—Could you afford space in your valuable columns for these few lines: A small tribute of honor and respect to a righu worthy gentleman, well-known on this coast, Captain Malcolm, of the s.s Maori. Here's sound health, long life, and prosperity to Captain Malcolm, and may he long sail the seas; a man of •honor and str ct integrity; a thorough gentleman in every sense of the word; one of nature's nobility; a kind generous, noble hearted man; and may every success attend his efforts. Had it not been for Captain Malcolm us diggers and others on this wild coast might long ago have perished and become extinct; a gentleman who treats us as his equal; who has at all times striven in all seasons and weathers, at great inconvenience, to oblige us, we are under obligations we can never repay. Captain Malcolm, your noble, manly, disinterested, and generous conduct is engraved deep in our hearts—the kind remembrance of which death alone an efface, for on* thanks are depicted on our rugged countenances, which pourtray the great emotions of our souls, and we extend to you the right hand of enduring brotherly love, and everlasting friendship, and though this eulogy is not embossed on gold, it is embellished with the overflowing gratitude of warm, true,'and manly hearts. And for tliat model, steamer the Maori we say, may her noble form long cleave these waters of .New Zealand, a source of profit, wealth, and revenue to her captain and owners; may her keel neve touch rock or shoal, and for many long years may abe circumnavigate this Middle Island of New Zealand, bearing triumphantly o'er the wave her right worthy, manly, noble, and gallant commander on the path of wealth and honor. This is well deserved, and, on our part, well meant. Never mind the name of the writer; these things are beßt without a name, and you know the most of us. Captain Malcolm: we sealeis, diggers, pioneers, and many others of this southern part of the West Coast, tender to you our most sincere and heartfelt thanks, our gratitude and everlasting blesiing, and your kindness we will remember for ever. This is all we have to give, and, like the widow's mite, we are sure it will be appreciated, and may Heaven reward you; and, sir, for your safety, and that of the Maori, as in duty bouud, we will ever pray.—Amen. Jackson's Bay, 27th June. 1876."
