On Friday Joseph Horton, an officer of the Board of EXCIX, and surveyor of the district of which Camberwell forms a part, was charged by Mr. Abraham Dockland, telimr.cliantiler, with folo • piously stealing a number of candles, about 3 pounds in weight. whilst in the execution of his duty, as an officer of Excise. It was stated by Mr. Dockland, that he carried on his business at Camberwell. The prisoner. as officer of the district, frequently came upon his premises to make a surrey, according to his instructions from the Board of Excise. Circumstances occurred which exerted • suspicion in his mind that the prisoner had frequently robbed him. and he determined to adopt such measures Of would probably lead to his detection. On Thursday night the prisoner went, as he had frequently done before, to inspect the workshop, and take an account of the stock. Mr. Buckland secreted himself, in order to observe his motions in such u situation as he could observe every proceeding without being discovered. The prisoner, after making his survey, opened a chest which contained a great number of candles. and took out two handfuls. wrapped them in paper, placed them in his pocket, sad went away with - them, having previously shut the door of the workshop. Mr. Buckland followed instantly, and ob served him throw something overthe garden walla Mr. Pennington. the next door neighbour, which was afterwards discovered to be a paper parcel containing about 3 pounds weight of candles. Upon being closely interrogated by Mr. Sergeant Sellout. Mr. Buckland admitted, that subsequently to running after the prisoner when he came from his place or concealment, he went to one of his shopman, and inquired which road Horton had taken; the I* afterwards despatched the same shoplifts after him to bring book, and that the prisoner returned with the shepinan on being told that Mr. Buckland wished to speak to him. and Previous to any Inendge being made of the robbay. It also appeared that when Hoehn went from Mr. Buckland's house he took the road to the left whereas Mr. Backhand pursued him to the right. Mr. Buek ba el aduatted that the prisoner shut the workshop door after him, and that he lust sight of hirnfor a short period. On the part of the prisoner it was contended. that Mr. Bucking could net possibly have seen him throw any thing over the wall of Mr. Bucklarufs house; Holton having shut the workshop. door after him, and Mr. Buckland having to come from the place of his concealment in the shop, open the door. and follow him to Pen. nington's wall, before he could have seen what he stated in his evi dence to have taken place. It was 9 o'clock at night when the cir cumstance transpired, and it was reasonable to suppose that if Mr. Duckland felt so certain that he had been robbed, he would have seized the prisoner at the moment he had observed Inns throw some thing over the wall, and not have returned for the purpose of ioquir. ing of his shopman which road the robber had takes. The prisoner said. that the whole btwiness was a conspiracy. for the_ purpose of efibcting his ruin. He had been compelled, in the coursed his thug as an Excise officer, to prefer an information to the Casonelodusers of Excise against Mr. Rockland for making and rancor a thousand weight of candles without giving notice to the p . The ease was then pendingbefote the Board. and. if against Mr. Buckland, he would have very heavy penalties to pap; he liscl no doubt that the candles were thrown into Mr. Penntrigtores garden by Mr. Buckland himself, for the purpose of enabling him to found upon the circuussteAce a charge or felony. The Mogatrate said, that if the affair was what tbe prisms bad alleged it to be, it was indeed as shameful a conspiracy Al had ever been formed. Under these circumstances he should require the prisoner to give bail for leis appearance at this office on a future day. and directed that the transaction should be made known to the Coto- • missioners, and that the solicitor to the Beira should be requested to attend at the next examination. The prisoner has been IV years in the service, and always bats an excellent character. On Tuesday last. the Maidstone afternoon comb inialiverturnad, while going down the hill from Mailing into the turnpike mad, at the same place where another coach met with a similar accident a few weeks ago, and where the road is very dangerous.

The fracture of Mr. Morgan's arm was a simple one ' and we are happy . to hear that he is going on well. Mr. Grew was taken in a state of insendbibti to the Swan. All the injured parties are in a fair way of recovery.
