(To be continued To-morrow.) COL 11. T OF EXCIIEQUEIL—Tuitsnay. THE KING V. JaFFERIES. This was an enquiry of very consideriae importance to British mantlicturers„ The Sou erroit-GENERAL stated the case. It was an in formation filed by his Majesty's Attorrey-General against the defendant, charging him with conveying machinery for the tnannfacture of cotton goods out of the country, contrary to the Act of Parliament. by which the whole of toe machinery, of which he would prove the seizure of 22 packages, became forfeited to the Crown. Georze Pat ff-tt, assistant landing-waiter, told be went with Ross and Steele, in April this year, to Paddington, where they seized at Hult and Kenwortby's wharf, 12 cases, containing machinery. Edwart George Weale stated, that he was requested by the last witness to watch thedefentiant's warehouse, No. 79, Lower Tham-s Street. Witness understood that it was kept by a person named Jefferies. Ile Raw four cases brought out and put into a cart, and taken to a foreign packet wharf; they remaine 1 there some little time, and were then put Into a lug-bo sr, the name on which was "A. Kent." He wok a boat and followed the lugger as far as the entrance to the London Dock, where they were taken on board the Sirene. He then returned and landed at the Custom House Quay, and informed Breffett and Steele, his superior officers, of what he had done; this was on the ISth of last month. Oa the day followinst, he, with Connell, the officer, and Mr. Tarratt, went on board the Sirene, then lying at Bugsby's-hole, beyond Blackwell ; the hatchway was open, and they saw the cases, one of which they opened; they c. ntained each two frame-ends, and twenty four weights, male use of in this description of machinery. Geoffrey Connell, an officer of the Customs, stated that he went with the last wittiest, on the 19th of November, on h.tard the Sirene; the vessel was hound for Calais; the freight paid, as per the captain's manifest, was 251. Mr. James Tarratt, residing in Charter House Square, stated that he was concerned with machinery upwards of fifty years, and in tiring machinery for the manufacture of cotton goods at Nottingham and Manchester. Witness went on hoard the Sirene at the retell st of Mr. Ilreffett, and saw the four packages there, winch he examined, and found them to contain frame ends and weights to be attached to the drawiug and rusing frames; they are used , in the spinning of cotton; these were only parts of t machinery. Ile afterwards saw four cases that came from the Ball Wharf; they contained a winding frame, and a ; doubling and twisting frame:, they are also used in the manufacture of cotton. The four cases contained two complete intowhines, One for winding and one for twisting. He sate fourteen other cases at the Castotta House, and found they contained machineiy foe See complete roving machinis ; fair of those cases contained 1113 , hinery for two complete drawing frames; the remainder of the boxes contained piects of machinery which would com plete frames. Joseph Ricitsnt stated, that in' 1821, be Isis residing io Little Surrey Street, Blackfriar's Howl, and was employed in polishing ivory as a journeymen.* The defendant, whom belied Wiesen for seven or eight years, came thete to engage him at his warehouse,. No. 78, Lower Thames Street, opposite the Custom Horse ; he was to have 15s; per week at first, and witness engaged with him. When witness bad been there about six months, defendant went to France, and was gone about a month or five weeks ; on his return he said he had received further orders for goods from Messrs. Win. Eaton and Co. at Otirscamp ; they were articles of machinery for the manufacture of cotton; the order was for fifteen frames, spindles, and other articles. Ile then proposed to give witness 18s. per week, on condition that he would write the orderein, his (witness's) name for him (defendant) to carry to Ma ;' tester. He also said that witness would have oonstant employ foe nearly twelve months; witness wrote the orders in his own name, and delivered them to the defendant.—Defend- ant then left London, and was absent about ten days. On his return, he told witness be had ordered the machinery of different persons for the purpose of despatch ; the goods w• ea ordered in witness's name, and were to be addressed to No. 17, Swan Street, &fineries. Witness received letters from the different individuals, and handed them to the defendant. When the machinery was ready to be sent from Manchester to London, the de fendant was to deliver to the witness halves of Bank notes to send down in part payment; and money was so sent ; and the goods came to Holt and Kenworthy's Wharf, Pad dington; part was conveyed from the canal to No. 79, Lower Thames Street, and the remainder to Atkins's wharf. The defendant desired witness to separate such articles as were prohibited from going out of the country from the castings which would pass through the Custom House.— He did so ; and those that would pass the Customs in one package, and those that would not in another. There was to be the same number of packages of each sort; the marks and numbers on them were the same ; those that would pass the Customs were sent to the legal quays, to be entered and passed ; and the greater part afterwards relanded at Hartley's Wharf, on the other side of the river, instead of being taken on board the vessel; the other packages tbat would not pass the Custom How, were taken to St. Andrew's Wharf, Wapping*, and taken into a craft by Gardner and his son, and carried on board the vessel for which the other goods had been entered. Gardner and his son bad carried the other goods to Hartley's Wharf. The vessel was going to France. The cases which had been taken to Hartley's Wharf,. were brought back again to Lower Thames Street, and were passed at the Customs again ; but the marks and numbers were altered. The defendant said lie had another order from the same persons in France ; some of the goods that went to Atkins*siVirarf, were shipped on board the Alborongh. Witness, by the defendant's direction, went to Calais, and saw the machine landed there from the vessel. Abiaut the lath of April last the defendant said he expected souse machines its London. In consequence of some misunderstanding between witness and the defendant, he made a communication to Brelfett, the officer, and, in consequence, the goods at Paddington were seized. Witness afterwards saw the defendant at the George, in Goodmao's Yard, and he said if he (the witness) would keep out of the way, he would recover the goods back again. However, says be, if it comes to the worst, it will only be twelve months imprisonment, and a fine of 2001., which he would pay. Ile said he would procure witness a situation in Eaton and Co.'s manufactory in France. Mr. Wm. Higgins, of Salford, near Manchester, stated that he was a machine maker. About May or June, 1a22, two persons came to him to inquire the price of roving machines. He had seen one of those persons in Court. — They said their establishment was to be opened either in Kent or Surrey. They gave an order for 15 roving ma• chines. Witness asked them where they . came from, but they evaded a reply by saying they had private reasons not to be known in Manchester ; but witness had no occasion to be afraid, because he would be satisfied as to payment. Mr. Baron GRAHAM said it appeared clear this nefarious practice hail been carried on for some time. It did n• t appear to him to be a question of law but of fact, and for the Jury to determine, and it seemed so clear t at perhal•s the Jury would not wish him to go through the evidence. The Jury returned a verdict for the Crown. POLICE. MANSION-MI:SC—Mr. Israd Isaac Mi !helm was charged before the Lotto MAYOR, with having stolen one hundred and twen:y-four watches, the property of Mr. Levi, a merchant in Bury Street, St. Mary Axe. Mr. Levi stated, that a gentleman, who resides at the west end of the Lawn, gave him an order for 124 watches, to be made according to the Turkish fashion, and to be shipped for Barbary. The order having been completed, the purchaser gave his hills for the whole amount of the charge, at the average rate of about 30s. a watch. Soon after the purchase was made, Mr. Milheim applied to the witness, upon the subject of some cheap watches which he was commissioned to sell for a respectable pawnbroker and jeweller, and he exhibited a sample of the article, and said it was to be had in great ahntidence. The witness was a<tonisbed to find that the watches were no other than those which he had recently sold and packed up for the use of the Turks. He said not a word about the matter to Mr. Milheim, but desired him to produce the total number of watches. One hundred and twenty-Cour watches were then brought in a bag by Mr. NMI), im, who demanded a sum considerably lower than that at which the witness had sold them. The witness, having got possession of his property, then told Mr. Milheim the facts of what he called the fraudulent purchase, athl detained the watches. He then wrote to the purchaser upon the sub ject, and was desired by that gentleman to keep the watches, mil promised him five per cent. for the trouble occasioned. Shortly afterwards Mr. Milheim called upon the witness, who was out, and seemed to acquiesce in the proposal of the purchaser, but mentioned to the witness's brother that lie was desired by that gentleman to fix a seal upon the bag. No sooner was the bag of watches produced than Mr. Milheim seized it, and positively refused to give it up. The witness immediately sent for an officer, and thinking him. self justified in adopting the most prompt measures for the recovery'of his property, charged Mr. Milheim with the felony. He was the more strongly urged to this measure by the suspicion that Mr. Milheim was the mere agent of the purchaser, who was thus providentially defeated —The brother of Mr. Levi.confirused the most materia parts of this evidence. Mr. Milheim said, in his defence, that the watches bad been offered for sale to hint bye most respectable jeweller and pawnbroker. Ile was unwilling to purchase, but was urged to make an effort to sell them, and he accordingly brought samples to Mr. Levi, Who advised him to make the purchase, and promised to buy them. Mr. ftlilheim accordingly bought 121 of the watches, at the average rate of 22c a piece, and only asked Mr. Levi 23s being satisfied with the odd shilling on each , watch for his trouble. The moment, however, Mr. Levi got hold of the hag of watches, he said be had been robbed of them, an the only way to recover them from kis grasp, was by a manseuvrewhich Mr. Milheim thought himself quite at liberty to adopt, and as that expedient hid succeeded, he determined to stick to his resolution of keepin; possession of what was his own bona fide purchase. sir. Levi had assured him previously that he might rely upon getting his money, as the gentleman who stole the watches would, no doubt, pay the bill he had passed for:them. Mr. b 1 i I beim added that, upon seizing his property, be offered to sub. mit the case to the Lori Mayor, and deposit the watches in his Lordship's bands, until a decision should be made. Mr. Levi said, he had reason to suppose that the original purchaser had gambled away the watches, and railed upon the Lord Mayor to order them to be &lowed up to him. He, however, believed the bills paned for them woul,l be honoured. The Lord Mayor laid there was not the slight- est evidence to affect the character of Mr. Milheim, who, it.appeared, had pet...based the goods, and was content with a small profit upon his purchase. As for the original peo, dieser, Mr. Levi still seemed trietpect an honourable settle. ment, sod it would be arcing with great hardship Indeed to punish Mr. Milheim, for what might have arisen from I sudden and accidental misfortune upon the part of the former. Mr. Levi having ascertained that the charge against 31r. Milbeim would not stand. immediately applied for a war. rant against the original purchaser for obtaining the watches under false pretences, and said that the grounds of his charge were, that the goods had been obtained up on theassurance that that they were to be shipped for Bar. barv, whereas they acre sent about for sale through the town. _ _ _ _ The Lotto MAYOR said there was no false pretence of which the law could take hold. Had the original purchaser given a false account of himself, and obtained the good s b y that means, there might be some reason for railing the transaction a fraud ; but whether he said they were to be shipped for Barbary or New South Wales, it did not signify. A person who lately paid himself (the Lord Mayor) a con. siderable sum, obtained goods to be shipped, but was by an unexpected event .obliged to dispose of them otherwise The purchaser, however, its soon as he could pay, discharged the debt, and certainly did not deserve the Dame of Swindler, but that of an honest um. Mr. Milheitn said he teas convinced the original purchaser would pay his bills to Mr. Levi when they became due. The LoRD MAYOR haring said that he had done with .h e case, Mr. Levi and his brother and Milheim ran like ligh t . sing to the hag of watches, upon which all their eyes hail beets fixed for some time. They seized it and palled it hither and thither. The offitier too, who was afraid to resign it to either party, was amongst the gripers. And now the whole justice room was in the ntruest confusion, bid the efforts made by each side enfeebled the other, and they all looked to the Lord Mayor for his interference. lfis Lord. ship said be believed Mr. Milheitn, who had the hal in his possession on entering, was entitled to take it out of the ' room. The bag then was grasped with greater might by Mr. Milheiw, and the parties ultimately agreed that it should be kept by him until the bills became due. Bow STREgT.-ADMISSION TJ DRURY-LAN/I TItEATR6. —A numerous party of gentlemen, amongst whom was a Mr. CMlier, of Norfolk -street, Stem!, waited 01 the Magistrate, to ask his advice as to what manner they were to proceed towards the recovery of the money they had paid for their admission to Drury Lane Theatre, on the preceding evening, the money takers having assured them at the time they paid, that there were plenty of room ; this, however, they found to be false, for on getting into the Theatre thee., was not a seat vacant, nor the slightest chant e of any one being so, as the lobbies and passages were crowded to excess, and although they remained sometitua watching for any opportunity to get a view of his Majesty, through tl:e apertures in the box doors, they could not effect it, though that was the only inducement that had brought them to the Theatre. stir. Collier in particukr complained, that on his remonstrating with the money takers en the unfairness of their m :king the false re . presentation of them being a sufficiency of room, and Ikea refusing to return the money, he was assailed with the most virulent abuse, and was told that he had only entered the Theatre for the purpose of creating a distorhance. He however succeeded after misty obstacles in seeing Mr. Winston, to whom he was at first referred by the money takers. That person said very coolly that lie could not interfere in any way, much less 'return tie money. tic at last offered to give them an admission for any other night they chose, but this they refused to accept. The Magistrate said it was not his province to assist theta in the recovery of their money under 541C11 circumstances, not had he any power to interfere at all, as site prop, place for the preferment of such a case was the Courtot Requests, but he was inclined to act as a mediator hetweea both parties, and would therefore send a message to Mr. Winston requesting his attendance. T was 'lone. and Mr. Winston accordingly attended and again off red to giv. any of the Gentlemen an admiss on for whatever night they chose; this, after some discussion, the greater part of them accrpsed ; but Mr. Collier related any thing but the return of his money, which was refired by the other party, and be then left the office, saying he should seek redress elsewhere. . _ WORSHIP STREET.—THE LATE Flom—Yesterday 7.

TOWN HALL, SOUTHWARK, TUESDAT.—A few days hack the parish officers of St. Olave, Southwark, laid a complaint before the presiding Magistrate at this (Mire, Alderman Joshua Jonathan Smith, against a practice followed by the society railed " the Southwark Independent !Agee Odd Fellows," of conducting the funerals of their members through the public streets, Stith musie playing and stream ers flying, on the Sabbath, as unhecomint the solemnity of the day, and calculated to lead to a breach of the peace.— On Sunday last a repetition of the prac:ice taking place, on the occasion of the interment of a man who had btwo fur several years an incumbtance on that parish, at the desire of the Magistrate, Mr. Worship, a respectable copper-pla'e worker, and Past Grand Master, attended to await the 3lagistr ate's decision on that subject. Mr. Alderman J. J. Smith said, be considered all such processions on the Sabbath Illy were calculated to create disorder; nnmbers of persons were invariably collected by the musical parade and display made ; obstruction and con fusion were the natural consequences, and he had no hesita tion in saying such procedure was unlawful.
