Attempted family mistreatment leads to arrest and charges
The article reports J. Cleaver known as the "crumpet man" on Richard Street, accused of illtreating his 12 year old daughter who recently arrived from Bingham England. Neighbors intervened, police arrested him, and Magistrate Simpson remanded him for legal advice. The case later shifts to a charge under section 570 of the Criminal Code involving unlawful knowledge of a girl under 14, with medical exams not substantiating the original charge.

Public Indignation Over Encroachments On Bastion Street
A circulated petition to the Nanaimo Council denounces encroachments by the Hirst estate and nearby properties on Bastion and Commercial streets. Citizens urge widening Commercial Street and preservation of correct street lines along the wharf and fire hall sites. A separate account notes a rude police magistrate incident at the courthouse and a council revenue by law meeting. The Liberal convention in Westminster names Aulay Morrison as the district candidate amid a field of others.
