THE CUSTOMS AND THE HARBORMASTER.
Sir, — The absence of Mr Ortnond, chairman of the Harbor Board, from the last meeting held on Tuesday afternoon i.3 to be regretted, as from bis long official experience he would no doubt have informed the Board that all persona engaged in the lightering trade are licensed by the diatoms authorities, and are bound under heavy penalties to comply with the Customs regulations, one of the most important of which is that lighters shall be discharged where directed by the Oustoms officers. Again, the request simply to have a lighter removed from
, one wharf to another can hardly be interpreted as infringing on the duties ef the i harbor-master in working theport, and on which bo much stress was laid. However, the want of an experienced head to guide and direct proceedings shows that a great loss would bo felt were Mr Ormond to retire into private life. — I am, &c, Importer.
