A . novel explanation or an affection of the face which had been classified as mumps was offered by a seaman in the Auckland Police Court before J. W. Poynton, S.M., on Thursday, when charged with an bffence under the Health Act. Thomas Fitzgerald, aged 31. was charged that, being a person detained in quarantine in accordance with the Health Act, he left such quarantine station without the authority of the Port Health Officer. Dr. E. W. Sharman. stated that the man had been removed from the Bona suffering from mumps. It was not possible to get him into the Auckland Hospital, and, as it would have been very expensive to open a quarantine station for one man, he was placed in a nursing home where similar cases had been satisfactorily treated. He left the home once, and was taken back by the police, but left again, and was found by the police at the shipping office. It was not a serious ease, but mumps were infectious, and might spread. Accused said he was not suffering from mumps. He had wanted to be discharged from the ship, but could not get his discharge, so he "blew his face out." He could do this at any time, and had done it before. He did not have mumps—it was only air in the glands. Fitzgerald offered to demonstrate to the Court his ability to blow his face.up, but the offer was not accepted. Dr. Sharman said the man Was *ertaialy suffering from mumps.
