Ashburton Crime Report.

Thanks to the courtesy of Sergeant Moler, of the A.shburton Police Station, wo have been able to compare the offences returns for the years ending December 31, 1890 and 1891 together. In 1890 there ware 248 offences in all reported. Out of those 6 persons were committed for trial, 211 summarily eon vicled, and 17 discharged—making in f.U, 234 persons tliafe hud been apprehended .In. 1891 there wore in nil 262 offences reported, an increase of 14 on the previous year. Out of these reported offences, 3 persons were committed for trial, 236 summarily convicted, and 13 discharged— in all 252 persons arrested, an increase of 18. As usual the heading ''drunkenness" account's for most of the police work. In 1890 there were 150 persons arrested, and summarily convicted on this charge, 5 of them being women. In 1891 the number fell to 145, 2 being women, but 1 male was dismissed. In 1890 there were 6 charges of common assault, in 1891 the number was the same, but in the former year convictions were recorded against all the prisoners, whilo in the latter 2 were discharged. Nearly all of these cases arose out of drunkenness, as indeed were all, more or less, of (she following— Illegally on premises—4 and 7 respectively in each year; obscene language —9 and 23 ; obstructing the police, 8 and 17 —all showing an increase for the year just closed. In theft, the figures are about the same for the two years. In 1890, 22 persons were charged with larceny as against 24 in 1891. In 1890, 3 were charged with larceny as a bailee, 4 with larceny from the person, and 1 with larceny from a | dwelling. In 1891 these columns are blank with the exception of the last mentioned in which 1 appeared. In all the other classes of crime the cases are exceedingly few, so that really when the offences are taken out of the list which can easily be traced to liquor as their cause, a high moral record is left if or the district. Besides, not five per cent of the drunkards brought before the Court were residents of the town.

Death of the Khedive

[pjer press association.]

THE SITUATION IN EGYPT.

PEB TRESS ASSOCIATION.

Cairo, January 9. Two hundred thousand people quietly witnessed the Khedive's funeral. Mili tary officers, diplomatists, officials, and women were among the mourners. Strings of oxen and camels laden with bread for the poor followed Tewfik's bier. The prompt recognition of Prince Abbas by the Sultan of Turkey has stopped the intrigues of the French press President Carnot has sent a message congratulating the Prince on his acces sion to the throne. Prince Abbas, who is docile and well educated, speaks the English language well and attained his majority in July. Sir Evelyn Baring, British Minister at Cairo, followed in the funeral pro cession. It is understood that the rumor as to the removal of Sir Evelyn to Constantinople is incorrect, and that he remains in Cairo. A portion of the English Mediter ranean Squadron has been ordered to Alexandria to salute Prince Abbas. Paths, January 9. The French press in referring to the death of the Khedive declare the time is opportune to demand a settlement of the Egyptian question. "Le Figaro " predicts a European war, and dis cusses the attitude of the Powers. Berlin, January 9. The German press assert that the Triple Alliance will overcome dangers. Rome, January 9. The Italian press eulogises English rule in Egypt, and states that the death of the Khedive will not affect the posi tion. Vienna, January 9. The Emperor Francis granted a special audience to the new Khedive, Prince Abbas, who joins the Khedival yacht at Brindisi. Caiko, January 10. It is reported that the Khedive was killed by an overdose of morphine.
