LdW INTFLLIGENCE. acourn OF KING'S DEW!II. iTerritesTea, Partial:ore. My le. THE KING "e. Nancsaffia. TM" wee It roseeutoon against the Defend.int, 'for having fnenclulently appropriated to the pay ment of' the cxoenses encoding two indictments§ on whirl, Ite'wes tried some time ago, eertein sums 'of • tno•ley, tare property of the perish of St. Matthew, `.Bethnal-gram. Tbs. I)efendesit is well known as 1 1e testi of greet property and influence in that • . Itlv. s ... Mr. Jusffce Assort', in his charge to the Jory, went over the whole of the evidence, a►d corn. inented at large on the particular paints of it ; ob serving that for the defence, it was at leiet ex tremely.contradictory, and in some instance* even i►upossible. The question was,•Had a full and fair ‘viotice been given of this audit, or had it not ? And it certainly appeared to him that it lard nbt. ft Wag stionsobent On the Defendant, knowing the ani mosities that eoxisted against him in the parish, to have given the utmost publicity to his transaction, if lie had Meant uprightly. The prudent man, at least, would have been careful to have avoided unl y►icion. But this 'was not the case•; 'for Sit w*s evident there were hot more than ten or twelve persons present, and they were the sworn friends, as it were, of the Defendant. The taw any., that tonney raised for the use of the I►nnr. ishoulti not be applied to any other p►erpose. If, therefore, the Jury were of opinion that this had tieeti otherwise applied, it had been so done unlaw. toll►• ; and if they thought sufficient wirier had not beets given, it had been done clandestinely; and they would of course pronounce accordingly. The Jury immediately, without retiring from th► box, pronounced the Defendant—Gaily. Ile was sundered to be brought np ou the fuuith day of next Term for judgment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Wrornumck, SATURDAY, MAT 16. IMITATION TEA—POISON. Tilt ATTORNET-OFiIUAL v. PALMER. Mr. WA T.Toe opened the declaration, and stated. that this was an informatie• hied by the Amenity :t tient, Priusyt the Defendant, which charged him, fw b►►ing a dealer in. and seller of tea, with having iii has 'possession a quantity of sloe leaves and white thorn home, fabricated into ,an imitation of tea, whereby be forfeited 10/. for every pound weight of ends imitation. There were other counts, char t :- ing the offence differently, to all of which the De fendant pleaded Not Galli!. Mr. MUNCLY stated the case to the Jury, and observed, that the proceeding to which he WM bald to call their attention woe almost new to the Court, as well as to those whom he had the honour of ad dressing. and certainly was of very great itn- Iportanee—important to the Defrocked, inasmneliall the penalties which were sought to be recovered from him, went to • very considerable amount (an amount. however, by no means dieproportioned to The gain which lie had made by engaging in this sort I.f transaction) —important also to them. to him, and to the public at large, because the gain of the Defendant was at the expense of their health. In fact, as the lialoitrof society at present existed, there were scarcely env persons who were mot in the daily and constant habit of running the risk of being injured and imposed upon, by taking the ►commo tlity which formed the subject of the present prose. motion. The prosecution against the Defendant, at they had heard from 'his Learned Friend, was for haring in his possession, and also for disposing of, a commodity es tea, which in point of fact was not tea. The universal use of tea made this question of uni versal importance. It was lamentable to think, that in this greit town there were persons who were in the d lialoit of selling deleterious drugs, nu tier different masks, and that while the public were imagining they were drinking at their meals nutri tious beverages, they were in fact wallowing a slow host certain poison—snd this in order that parties like the Defendant might take advantage of the wile of an article which was not merchantable, at a price far beyond its intrinsic value. They load already heard, during the prrsent sittings, that those who supposed they were drinking coffee were deceived, end were in fact drinking neither mere nor less' than an infusion of scorched peas and beaus. This they were told was in itself harmless, and he believed, at least, there was uo mixture of tinwholesotne ingredients. Not so in the present case, fur he should prove that the most pernicious drugs had been used; and it was clear that all ranks of society, whether male or female, were alike exposed to their effects. The Defendant, .Mr. Palmer. was a grocer, and hail ilo doubt reaped no small advantage from his nefarious traffic. It would appear that a regular manufactory of this imitation tea. as it was called, was established in 11;u1datone-street. end he should call • witness who would go through the whole history of the trauser lion. The parties by whom the manufactory was co •ducted, was a person of the name of Procter, and another person named John Molina, the son of AVilliani Malin*, carrying on business in a place railed Northumberland-alley, Fenchurch-street, I►rofessedly as • coffee-roaster. These two persons engaged others to furiiii.h them with leaves, which, vfier undergoing a certain process, that he would describe, were said to end drank by the public as trip. The parties gatlwriug the leaves, which were of the white and black thorn tree, were paid et the rate of two-pence per pound for the produce of their labour. These leaves, in order to be convert ed into an article resembling black tea, were brat boiled, then baked upon an iron plate; and when airy, rubbed with the hand, iu order to produce that curl which the 'pawns, tea had. This was, in fact, the most wholosome part of the operation, for the colour, which was yet to be given to it, was produced lagwood; whether this was so injurious ingre dient cr no► he did not know, but he believed few of Ins auditor' would willingly drink an infusion of that da,•e. With regard to the green tea, that was manu factured in a less questionable and in a more destruc tive msnoer—he neasur destructive to the constitu- Coo of those by whom it was drank. In this 'sort leaves, after haw laid upon sheets • colour from au 1 , . 111 1 ,f of the 1.13..hie54 it 1 11 . re:f l e d that the le Sl.it been p Mild dried, were 14 1 of copper, where they received their article known by the name of Dutch pink, some of , .which (a powder of a yellowish hue) he held in Ins hand. One of the component parts of this powder lie mulerstood to be white lead; but to this he would not pledge himself. The other article used in producing the appearance of the fine green bloom which was observable on the China tee, was. however. decidedly a deadly poison ! Ile alluded to veriligripe, which. it appeared. was added to the hutch pink in order to complete the operation. [A feeling. of horror seemed here to pervade the whole Conti.] This was the case which he had to bring before them ; and hence it would appear that at the moment they wire supposing they were drinking a 'pleasant and nutritious beverage, they were. in fact, in all probability-. drinking only the produce of the hedges round the metropolis. prepared fur the pur poses of deceptiots in the most uoxious manner. Ile had felt it hia bounden duty to lie thus explicit in Isis statement, with a view not alone of holding up the Defendant as a proper example to others, but to place the public upon their guard against such ne farious impositions. Ile could not be accused of a desire to inhume the minds of the Jury by exciting their private feeUngs, because no end could be gain ed be such an attempt. lie went for positive pe nalties, and the verdict could be given only accord ing to the 'te of legal enactment. tie trusted he shatld be enabled to trace to the possession of the Defendant 'Sao. weight of the commodity he had keen describing. and if so. he should entitle the Crown to penalties amounting in the wholeto susn by no menus I.srge, when compared with the enormity of the offence. Thomas Jones, examined by Mr. CLARKE, King's Counsel. Deposed, that he knew a person of the name of Procter. and was enip!,qed by hiM at the latter end of April, 1917, to gather a quantity of black mid white Moroi leaves. Sloe leaves were the black thorn. He also knew u person of the name of John Malin*, lie was the sun of NVillia l o M a li n% a coffee-roaster in Nortlininherlandodley. Ile did not at first k tttttt the purpme for which the leaves were gathered, bid afterwards learnt they were to nu-ke imitation tea. Mr. Jartwis, Connie! for the Defendant—Tell ns what you saw youoself, and not what you were told. Mr. CLAVIER—He shall tell you nothing but what lie did see. Do me the jostree to bcliese that 1 will soot put on impro:ier question. IVitoris did not 1 t self gitlwr more than a bun. Bred and a half of those leaves; but he employed another person, of the name of JOllll Begster, to gather them. After the travel were gathered they were first taken to his house. awl afterwards to Mr. J. Moline. in Gololstrotesstreet. He was to have .241. per pound for gathering them. In Goldstone. street they were tnatinfactured. They were first boiled, and then the wader was squeezed from them in a pre: s. They were afterwards placed over a slow fire upon startle °remover to dry ; while on the copper they were rubbed with the hand to curl them. At the time of Itoiliog there was a little verdigrise pot into the water (Misapplied to greeu tea only). After the leaves were dried, they were sifted ; this was to separate the thorns sod stalks from them. After they were sifted, more verdigrise and sonic Dutch piiik powder ails added ; this made them resemble green tea, and the work was finished. The Dutch pink was a bard otibstame, mid was scraped with a knife ; he did not know its componeot parts. It was shook up with the tea, and, together with the verdigrise, gave the leaves that yellowish green bloom observable on genuine tea. They hail uo psrticular name for this proceras, except giving the bloom. The black tea went through a similar course as the green, except the triplication of Dutch pink : a little verdigrise was put in in the boiling, mod to tliis was added a smell quantity of logwood to dye it, and thus the itienu. focture was complete. The dr)ing operation took place on sheets of iron. Knew. the Defendant, Edward Palmer. who kept a grocer's shop in fled-I' -street, NVliitechapel. Ile took some of the mixture he had beta describing to his shop. 'the first time he took any was in May, 3817. las the course of that month, or the beginning of Joie, he took four or five 711.. par cels. Ile did nut see Mr. Palmer at the tirue lie took the paicels. to his iceollectioat. Ile stow Ilion at other times. lie was nut paid for the mixture on delivery. lie received whine halfpence at the Defendant's sloop, for whit It he had been sent hy John Matins. It was not said what this moony was fur. Did not believe tier Defendant gave hint the halfpence ; to the best of his recollection it was a young man in the shop. John Maims sent witness to the Defendant for some paper bags, and other paper and string. Ile then raw him, and received from him the bags and !toper. These bags and paper were to put up floe imitation tea. Ile after. wards delivered these bags, filled with the imam. tion tea, at the Defendant's shop. Remembers subsequently taking a qu natity of the imitation tea to Mr. Mallow', in Russell-street. It was sold to grocers at the west end of' the town. When he took it there it was taken up to the top of the house. Of this first quantity he took none to the Defendant. He afterward* carried some snore to Itumill.street. %Inch was also taken to the top of the house. about one hundred weight and three quarters; from this quantity he carried 561 b. weight to the house of the Defesidant'i porter, by the desire cf Mr. Aladin.. as the Defendant did not wish it to come to his house; it was in paper parcels of 71b. each. Cross-examined by Mr. JERVlL—Procter was a commissioner's traveller ; lie sold tea and grocery an commissioso to different grocers in town and coun try. Ile employed 11'itiiess because he was out of work at the time ; %Winters was by business r pot ter, and lived last iii that capacity with a Mr. Mil lard, in Size.lene, a merchant and packer. Ile quitted his service in October, 1816. and had no regular employment from that time till employed by Procter. Occasionally did odd job. of paneling while out of place, and had money from Ins brother to assist iu supporting his family ; a pound or a few shillings at a time. Did not employ himself more Mau three or roar days in getting the leaves. Ile was first employed by Pioctcr at the latter end of April, 1817 ; the leaves were then coming out ; he was ordered to get as many leaves as he could, and employed Rags:er to assist him. %Vas nut told what the leaves were fur till a month after; Procter told him in the mouth of Juue. Ile was shewn the • way to make the fabricated tea by Mr. Julia Melia, and Mr. Procter 'and was erthred to assist in 114 manufacture. Was engaged in 'this way two month.: or ten weeks. They mule a great many pounds m: May. It was common for grocers to sell bags and pai.! per ; Witness was not told by Mr. Mains what the bags were for, which he got from the Defendant. He had no conversation with him oil the subject. He could not my how many bags he got ; there might he fifty. It was in May he took the parcels of tea to the Defendant's house; part before and ;ma after he got the hart. Ou being te-examined to this point, he said it must have been after lie got the bar that he took the parcels; it was a mistake when he said part before and part after. NVlten he carried the parcels, he saw a young matt in the shop. Did not know his name. He might be about twenty years of age. He was middle tiized, about five feet high. He saw Mr. Palmer after- wards ht Northumberland-alley. He did not then tell him he had taken the parcels of imitation tea to his house, or have any conversation with him. It was in August. or the latter end or July, he took the sGlbs. to the person whom he described as the Defendant's porter.—[Here the witness referred to a memoratiduut which lie had in his hand, and which turned out to be a list of about twenty grocers to whom he had carried the imitation tea.]--He made this memorandum its September. The first memo. rautfum was " albs. to Mr. Palmer, No. ti, Red Lion -street, Whilechapel, in May and August ; paid me part." This did not contain the albs. de livered to the porter. He had mid that lie was not paid for the tea by Mr. Palmer. Though the half pence was part payment, but was not certain. The porter lived in Boundary-court. James Medina told him he was Mr. Paliner'a 'sorter, and that he was to take the tea to him. as he did not wish to have it brought directly to his house. He wits a fresh co lourtd country looking man, about 45. Could not say whether he wore a wig or not. John Bsgster proved that lie had been employed by Alalins and Procter for two months. to gather sloe and white thorn leaves ; when he first gathered them they were taken to Jones's house, and front thence to Meliit's coffee-roasting preinises,in North umberland-ailey ; he received two-pence per pound for gathering them ; he saw the manufacturing going on, but dal not know much about it ; he saw the leaves on sheets of copper, io Goldstone-street. Mr. Bowling, from the Excise-Ace, proved the Defendant to be an entered tea dealer. This ells the case for the Crown. Mr. 410/is now addressed the Jury on the pert of the Defendant, and confidently submitted, that the evidence which had been produced to them, in support of this information, was not such as would justify them in finding a verdict for a single farthing, or in findi►►g a verdict for the Crown at all. Mr. Baum RICHARDS having summed up the evidence, the Jury found a verdict for the Crown for the full penalties, 'moulding to eight hundred and forty pounds. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. V. JOHN PRENTICE. This was •n information similar to the leo. in Isich the Defendant submitted to u verdict fur the Crown. THE ATTORNNT-GENERAL V. LAWSON Homeice. In this case also the Defendant submitted to a verdict for the Crown. THE ATTORNET.OENERAL V. JOHN ORKNEY. This was another information *Millar to the last, in which the Defendant appeared in person. Thomas Jones proved that he knew the Defend ant, who was a grocer in Shadwell High -street, and in the month of May last carried to his shop seven pounds of imitation tea, by the order of Julio Ma hiss, for which he received the money, viz. 15s. gd. or 2s. 3d. per pound. The Defendant made an ineffectual attempt at a defence, by calling his porter to prove that he never saw any imitation tea brought to his master's house. Mr. DAUNCBT said, neither bad he ever seen any of this abominable Muff carried to the Defend ant, but it did nut therefore follow thud it had ne ver gone. The Jury found • verdict for the Crown.—Penul ties Seventy Pounds. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. JAMES GARY. Thus Defendant submitted to u verdiet.—Penal ties 120/. TIIE ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. 11. GILBERT AND rbwr These Defendmits PlllMllited to a verdict for the Crown.—Peii.thies. 1401. TIIL ATTORNEY-GENERAE E. W. CLARKE. This Defendant likewise submitted to a verdict. THE ATIORNEY•GENERAL C. JOAN HoRNER. The Deksiduist in this 'case was a grocer in Union-street, Sout h wark, and was proved by Jones to have ►eceived twenty pounds of imitation tea in three different lancets. Mr. JEnv is made another ingrnions address to the Jury, but filled in ',mincing the desired effect, and a verdict was found for the Crown—Penalties 2101. THE ATTORNEY-HENERA I. V. WILLIAM DOWLING. This was a grocer iu King-street, To er-hull. Jones proved that he delivered 71bs. of imitation Ira at his house, and received the money fur it, namely, 159. 9d. Mr. J ERVIS addressed the Jury once more, but with no better t &et than in the other CUSPS. A ver dict was found against Isis client.—Penalties 701. THE ATFOBNEY•GBNBBAL V. GEO. DAVID DOLED. This Deleuclaut gave no trouble, but bubluitted to a verdict. These were the whole of the informations brought forward this day; but we understand that a greet number of others are still pending. The following mode of discuveriug imitation tee, hes been com municated to us. Lay the tea on wetted paper and rub it, it will easily discharge the colouring it re ceives from logwood, Dutch pink, or verdigrise. The Solicitor of the Excise huil in Court a boa, containing upwards of twenty samples of different qualities of imitation tea, from the most costly to the most mummer. It is much to be feared, that the country dealers have been greatly imposed upon with these spurious compositions.

A considerable degree of acrimony was manifested sin both sides, Mr. Turner endeavouring to prove that the appropria iillll of the motley in question hail taken place with s felo nious intention, and Mr. Harmer, sin behalf of his child, emsteadiaz,that where sums had hero received, and not RC. counted for, the circumstance arose from obliterations in the books ■ud errors in the accounts, and nut from any nest motive.
