THE POLICY OF ESCHEATING LANDS TO THE CROWN

In the Gazette of Tuesday, March 12th we find a Notification of the intention of the Government to institute proceedings for the recovery of lands on which the Quit Rent and Land Tax have been in arrears for 10 years, and thereupon follows a list of parcels of land belonging to various owners, and comprising in all nearly 35,000 acres on which such Taxes have not been paid.  This is the 6th Notification of the kind which has appeared in the Gazette since the passage of Law No. 5 of 1871, and hundreds of thousands of acres must have been thus advertised.  At the time that they were patented or purchased, the lands must have been much more valuable than at present.  If the taxes have not been paid upon them it is presumably it is presumably because they are not worth to their present owners the amount of arrears due upon them.

AN ACT OF HEROISM

On Saturday evening last, the weather being very tempestuous, a fisherman of Falmouth, named David Sutherland, observed from the sea shore a boat with sails upset, in the water, and three men clinging to the bottom with nothing bu hope between themselves and death.  To have put out to sea in a slight and frail canoe, was, under the circumstances, almost a deliberate rushing upon death - but Sutherland hesitated not an instant.  The infinitesimal chances of saving the lives of three unknown (to him) fellow-creatures weighed more heavily with him, than the immediate risk of losing his own.  Taking with him his two assistants, (one a mere boy), as emulons of death, he braved the danger, and at last reached the scene of distress when hope had almost departed from the sufferers.  But the danger was not even yet over.  To take three men into such a canoe as his, - rocked by tempestuous winds upon angry waves, was a task of infinite peril.  With infinite care the difficulty was overcome and the six reached the shore, the three rescued in the last state of exhaustion, and the rescuers a few degrees better.
Had it been left to Mr. Sutherland, the service which he rendered would have remained forever unknown.
An address, to Messrs. David Sutherland, William Reid and A. Sutherland, accompanying a purse of money containing 10 guineas was presented to him through the agency of a gentleman resident in this community, commending his actions and expressing their appreciation and sentiments, signed by Robert Nunes, Custos of Trelawny, A. Lindo, Abraham Morales, J. Wauchope Fisher, David Lindo, John Cameron, H. G. Delisser, J. A. Vine, snr., D. C. D'Souza, J. R. Young, William Lemonius, A. M. Nathan, Eubert Lopez, T. P. Kidd, S. Lazarus, R. H. Walker, F. Guiselin, J. A. Vine, jnr., Robert Robey, Albert Nathan & J. O. Clerk.
We learn that the parties rescued were a man named Jarrett and his two sons on their way to Little River.  They appear to have been ignorant of the navigation of the harbour.

A SAILORS HOME

The Rev. Enos Nuttall has written a letter to the Editor of the Semi-Weekly Gleaner appealing to the public for support of the "Sailors' Home" in Kingston.  It appears that the home is in debt to the extent of £163; and that the landlord had levied for £12 amount of rent due, and execution would have been put in on the 14th instant if Mr. George Solomon had not made himself responsible for the amount.
No regularly constituted meetings of the Directors had been held for the last 2 years, many of the Directors having declined to act inconsequence of the want of interest manifested by the general public, and the failure of adequate support.
Mr. Nuttall sets out a few facts showing the past usefulness of the Home, which has been in existence for about 9 ½ years.  It has provided board and lodging and other advantages for 3,236 Sailors, some of whom remained for not more than a few days, many for several weeks, and some for several months.  Of those, 523 were received from the Public Hospital; 22 were sent home to Europe or America as invalids.  The public has subscribed about £1200 in all.  The men who have money pay for their board and lodging.

The resignation which the Hon Charles Royes sent in to the Legislative Council is an example which we hope to see followed by every other unofficial member of that body.  The sacrifice of time and attention which they are called on to make is whole unnecessary since their presence in the Council serves no useful or practical purpose.
