Among the number of substances used in domestic economy, which ate now very generally found sophis- Nettled, may b.• distinguished —tee, coffee, bread, beer, swine, spirituous liquors, sallad uil, pepper, vinegar, mus tard, cream, and other articles of subsistence. 'I here are particular chemists who make it a re- lar trade to supply drugs or nefarious reparations to r e unprincipled brewer of port e r and a le: others pee.' • the saute other to the wine and spirit merchant; end others again to the grocer and the oilman. The perators carry on their processes chiefly in seeress., and oder some delusive firm, with the ostensible denote , ts of a fair and lawful establishment. The baker inserts that be does not put alum into mad ; bet he is well aware that, in purchasing a cer tain quantity of dour, he must take t sack of sharp irhiter (a term given to dour contaminated with &quan tity of alum), with o u t w hi c h i t wou ld b e i mposs ibl e f or inns to prodace light, %%bite, and porous bread, from a eV-spoiled material. The wholesale mealnian frequently purchases this eptirioas commodity (which forms a separate branch of usinese in the hands of certain individual'). in order e enable himself to sell his decayed and half-spoiled oar. Other individuals furnish the baker with alum :nixed up with salt, under the obscure denomination of Met/ There are wholesale manufacturing chemists %% hose sole nainess is to crystallize alum, is such a form as will :.dept this salt to the purpose of being mixed in a cry ' taline state with the crystals of common salt, to ilis itise the character of the compound. The mixture, ailed the, is composed of one part of alum, in minute •• r) ma: s, and three of contusion salt. In many other trades ,t similar mode of proceeding prevails.-Lpotatoes are soaked in water to augment their weight. It is really astonishing that the penal law is not more effectually enforced against practices so inimical to the 'abbe welfare. The men who robs a fellow-subjeet of • few shillings on the highway is sentenced to death ; bile he, who distributes a slow poison to a whole com !iunnity, escapes unpunished. Thus devoted to disease by baker, brewer, grocer, &c. he physician is called to our assistance; but here again be pernicious system of fraud, as it bas given the blow, •teps in to defeat the remedy. iNine-tenths of the most patent drugs and chemical ! .reparations used in pharmacy are vended in a sophisti : ated state by dealers who would be the last to be one , I.ected. It is well known, that in the article of l'ern siau bark, there is a variety of species inferior to the genuine : that too little discrimination is exercised be the collectors of this precious medicament ; that it fa carelessly assorted, and is frequently packed in green idea; that much of it arri ves in Spain in a half de rayed state, mixed with f r a g ment s o f p other vegetables 1 red various extraneous substances ; and in this state is' istribated throughout Europe. Bat as if this were not a sufficient deterioration, the „oublic are often served with a spurious compound of tailsogany saw-dust and oak wood, ground into powder. s braid with a proportion of good tonguing, and sold as enuine bark powder. Every chemist keie' that there are mills constantly work in this metropolis, which furnish bark powder " it a much cheapee rate than the sut'stance can be pro rated for in its natural state. The price of the beat ge 'Mae bark, upon An average, is 1101 lower than twelve ' billings the pound ; but immense quantities of powder a it:rfre supplied ,to the apothecaries at three or four a resod.. it is also meter riots that there are rnanufeettirers of spurious rhubarb , powder, ipecaeuanlia powder, James's . - ..eirtier, and stile r simple and compound medicines of • rest potency, wb o wry on their diabolical trade on an meziagiy large si cal.

Beita.-1 f front wine we descend to beer, we learn that we run still greater risks. Malt liquors, and especially porter, the favourite be verage of the inhabitants of Loudon, and of other large towns, is amongst those articles in the manufacture of whirl, the greatest frauds are frequently committed. The statute prohibits the brewer from using any in gredients in his brewing., except malt and hops; but it too oriel] happens that those who suppose they are drinking a nutricions beverage, lade of these hire. dients only, are entirely deceived. The beverage may, in fact, be neither more nor less than a compound of the most •leleterious substances ; and it is also clear that all rinks of society arc alike exposed to the nefa rious fraud. Mr. Jackson, of notorious memory, fell upon the ides of brewing beer from various drags, without any malt and hops. This chemist did not turn brewer himself ; bnt he struck out the more profitable trade of teaching his mystery to the brewers for a handsome fee. From that time forwards; written directions and receipt-books (Jr !psis g the chemical preparations to be substituted (or malt and hops, were respectively sold; and many adepts soon afterwards appeared every where, to instruct brew ers its the nefarious practice, first pointed out by Mr. Jackson. From that time, also, the fraternity of'brew ers' chemists took its rise. They make it their chief business to send travellers all over the country with lists and samples, exhibiting the price and quality of the articles manufaetured by them for the use of brewers only. To this appall's, description, we shall only add, that sunny other vile ingredient., wormwood, quassia, cap sicum, grains of paradise, &e. are used for similar pat pose., and tlay chemical skill to detect them; and, finally, that even the froth of the cauliflower head proshseed by a deleterious mixture called " beer-hea lug, - composed of common green vitriol (sulphate iron), :slum, an d Nth. _ _ %.— . 1 . 11 . 1S substance has been so fully before the public of lair, that we shall not enter into details. founded on the examination of Treaty-oecen sample* of indiation Feces !

Mr. JORIIVA EVANS moved for a writ of Habeas Corpus to he directed to the keeper of his Majesty's gaol ofl\ewgate, connnanding him to !idol( up the hotly of John Cam llobbouse, Esq. a pri soner in the said gaol, under a writ of committnent signed by the Speaker of the House of Commons, in order to his liberation by slue course of law. The Learned Counsel read the affidavit of 31r:Ilohlsonse, which stated in substance, that on the 30th of Dec. Isl 9, the deponent' was forcibly taken into custody at his residence in New street, Spring-gardens, by certain persons representing themselves to be Messengers of the Honer of Commons., by virtue of a warrant made out by tire Speaker of that house, fur in alleged offence in the said warrant men tioned ; that deponent was forcibly carried to Newgate, where he still remains in custody, without having been served wills any summons to answer the charges pre " • his ,ugh d . ordere d .4 whereas , .. ..an Cam tiobhot ...mire, to -or Aced to his Majesty' .mate; then _. k . , - authorize and require von to receive into y.. — c '.7 the said John Cam Ifoldionse, and him safely ~ 1 g the pleasnre of the slid House, for, which I *arrant shill be your salleient authority. e: (Signed) • " CHARLSII MANNERS lITTON." " 30th Ike. 1819." The Curse JUSTICL—The warrant sets forth tt re- Solution of the Ilonse of Commons, that the publication imputed to Mr. Hobbouse wai a libel, and that be ac knowledged himself to be the author ; ur :lierefore can not enter into the geonads of his commitment. Mr. t rims.—My Lord, this gentleman is entitled as batter bf Hight to a HaheaCtorpns. It is not necessary tbat I slum d enter into any argument to induce roar Lberltbips to accede to this motion in the first instiuce, tioy, indeed, am 1 prepared with such argument, as it will be quite time enough for me to he so prepared when this gentleman comes and demands his lifieration. Thr Curse Jurrics.—lf you are not prepared to argue It, the best course fbr T oo isle ntithrletw.the motion for ',resent, and come M . the %art Whet) toff silittl be prepared. It is not a rnattlraillefl/rto grant 0' Habeas torpaq, withmit *none 0111111111 for del' interposition of the Court,- z 3•1 TESMAN. Mr. Evans referred to the case of the King r. Benja min Flower, T. R. 314, for the purpose of showing that this Court, without argument, will grant a Habeas Corpse-to bring up the body of a person stated to be illegally imprisoned. That was the cue of a commit ment by the House of Lords for six months, for an al leged contempt, and there Lord Kenyon did not require any grounds to be stated when the motion was first made. Mr. Justice Ilcsr.—Bilt Lord Kenyon stated after. wards, that as the coma was for a contempt towards the House of Lords. rids Court could nut order the prisoner to be liberated, that House having. adjudi- eated as to the nature of the offence. Now, in this case, the warrant of the Speaker. states, that the prisoner WaS committed, not for a libel morally, but for a libel on ' the House of Louttutons, having a tendency to excite the people to acts of violence against that House. Mr. EVANS said, he merely referred to the case of the King v. Flower, for the purpose of shelving, that the Court, without requiring any argument in the first in stance, forthwith granted the writ, as a matter of en doubted right to the subjects of these realms. In that 'case the warrant of the House of Lords was annexed to ' the affidavit, as in this case, and Lord Kenyon merely a.ked 31r. Clifford, who made the motion, whether it was a commitment fora contempt towards the House of lords; and the answer being in the affirtnatire, the writ s Instantly granted. Cuter JUSTICE.—But, upon the writ being grail fed in that case, the matter'• was aftertariis much discussed, as to the authority of Ala Court to supersede a commitment of the House of Lords, and the result was, that this Court had no such authority. Mr. EVANS.—BIII, my Lord, it is scatter of right due to this Uentleman to have the question discussed, whether he has been legally committed. and whether ; the Hassler of Newgate is lawfally authorised in detain ing hint under this writ? The Come Jounce.—lf yon suggest that the writ sander which the party is detained is not a correct copy lef the original upon which he was committed, that is a different question ; but that is nut your suggestion. ' Jar. EVANS.—Nor do 1 consider it at all necessary to dittos& at present the legality of the writ. The Clot.? .Icsvics.-It'e most take it to be a true espy of the writ, and therefore we require you to state to us the cause of complaint against the propriety of the commitment. Mr. WANS.-11 apprehend that I am not bound to enter into any cousitleration of that kind in the present state of proceedings. 1 take it to he a dear and indis putable right, inherent in this tientleman as a subject of (treat Britain, to have his case argued before yur.r Lordships, because the Habeas Corpus Act does not make Buy exception, authorizing this Court to exercise a discretion whether they will or will not grant this writ. I conceive the Court is bound to grant the Habeas Cor reia to ever). person detained in prison under an alleged illegal rooms:orient, except in cases of treason and felony. The Cuter Jerrice.—Will von sir, that every person in rustoily has de Jere a right to he brought before this Court on a Habeas Corpus, without sufficient grounds being stated to the Court? Mr. ETAI4I.-31y Lord, I do say so ; except in cases of high treason mad felony. The Cuter JUITICE.--14011 net our constant practice ' been otherwise? Do we nut always inquire upon what and the Habeas Corpus is wowed, befure we order a to issue? Unless a gi °end is stated, we do out 'sect a writ to issue. Fit r. EVANS,--if I were to arm the case now ( ,0 not p . tbipited to dif), for the purpose of there is no authority in illll this warrant, Lordship could do no more than order the writ to issue i but as I chilfiithe writ as matter of right, in the first in stance, it t be necessary to argue the case before this g . .. comes up ; tier-ease that would impose ei upon met grilen if arguing the case twiee.—My Lords, I *Attire to soy, that there never was an instance before In ethic!' such an application as this, so brought forward, was refused. Mr. Jnstiee HOLIOTD.—ShouId you not lay some ground, to show a doubt whether the commitment is le gal or not? If yeti !avouch grounds, there can be no doubt as to the authority of the Court to ooler the writ to issue. If the Court entertains any doubts as to the legality of the commitment, we would not hesitate.— The House of Commons state distinctly in their writ the ground of their commitment. But have we authority to my, that the Habeas Corpus shall be granted as a matter of course, unless some ground of doubt as to the legality of the process is laid before us ? Mr. E•ANS.—My Lord, I say that the Habeas Corpus Act contains no such exception, and thatit is peremptory on the Court to grant the writ forthwith. Mr. Jnatics Biter.—Yon cannot say that in the ease of legal custody we are bound to grant the writ in order that a prisoner may be removed out of that legal ear Aft'. M4.lltvarra.—lf it were reqnisite that I should argue the time now. I persuade myself that I should do so with effect i but I contend that every prisoner in custody is entitled to the benefit of this writ, unless in case of felony and high treason. The Habeas Corpus Act. 31. Car. 11. c. 2, enacts, " That on complaint and in quest in writing, by or on behalf of any person mai nlined and charged with any crime, except treason or felony, the Lord Chancellor, or any of the twelve , upon viewing a ropy of the warrant copy Is denied, shall award a Habeas limper, returnable immediately before ether of the Judges ;" and it is further -iy such prisoner way niece for and :orpus as well out of tAtit Chancery out of the King's Bench or the Com .
