QUARANTINE REGULATIONS
CHARGE AGAINST SHIP’S CAPTAIN DISMISSED. >EB PRESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, August 29. A charge against Captain Rolls, of the Niagara, for an alleged breach of the quarantine regulations under the Health Act, 1920, was dismissed by Mr Poynton, S.M. The charge was that Captain Rolls failed to remove the nets between the ship and the wharf, and to close openings in the side of the vessel while alongside the wharf from sunset to sunrise. The case was dismissed on the grounds 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 that discrimination was reasonable, because some ships might come from ports whore there were no rats and no infection.
