seventy per cent., or 587, -were con-
victed, 107 persons were discharged,
in the case of ten the charges were
withdrawn, and ninety-six stood
awaiting trial. Of this latter num-
ber most of the cases have since
been disposed of by Judges on cir-
cuit. There were 220 persons pro-
secuted ecuted )hider the liquor license
act, which is an increase of fifty-
nine ;
ftynine; 186 convictions were secured,
an increase of forty -fire; seventeen
charges were dismissed and three

During the half year officers sta-
tioned at frontier points have hand-
ed over 346 persons to the Immigra-
tion Department for deportation,
or 183 more than in the correspond-
