Difficulties have occasionally arisen in consequence of persons getting away to California without the knowledge of those with whom they have been connected in business or, in other words, bolting. This could scarcely occur if the parties interested were to pay a visit to the Water Police Court, and look after the clearances. Information will readily be given by the officers of the Court, and no person can escape from temporary difficulties in this way without detection if he is looked after. The list of passengers by the Emerald Isle, may be seen at the Water Police Office.
