NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

The frequent desertion of seamen is becoming a matter of grave importance, and likely to impede the general welfare of the Province. The shipping interest is suffering severely, in consequence of some thoughtless employers, through a mistaken sympathy, or with the view of securing cheap labor, harboring those who desert from their ships. The most stringent measures will be adopted by the Police and the Special Constables throughout the Province, to apprehend deserters, and to prosecute to the fullest extent all persons harboring or giving them emyloyment; as it is their duty, when hiring labor, to ascertain that they are not at the same time infringing one of the most important laws framed for the support and well-being of the leading interests of the community.

R. C. SHEARMAN, Commissioner of Police
