DANGER OF INFECTION.
NIAGARA CASE DISMISSED. By Talegraph.—Press Association Auckland. August 2&. The charge against Captain Rolls, of the Niagara, alleging a breach of quarantine regulations under the Health Act, 1920, was dismissed bv Mr. Poynton, S.M. The charge was that the captain failed to remove the nets between the ship and the wharf and close openings in the aide of the vessel while alongside the wharf from sunset to sunrise. The case was dismissed on the ground that the regulations did not apply to all vessels, but only to such as were ordered to carry out the regulations, and Captain Rolls had not been so notified. The Magistrate said the discrimination was reasonable, because some ship® might come from ports where there were no rats or infection.
