~~ r r .~ the warrant to seise the goods er Rankin, were then severally pet in and proved. A number of witnesses were produced, and esta blisheduaost of the facts stated by Mr. Serjrant Vaughan relative to Rankin individually. It was also czed that a great pert of the furniture removed had in possession of Rankin at lodgings which he had previously occupied, but it was not sheen that it Ell had, or that the apartments broken into were his. Accordingly, before the case fur the Defend ants war regularly Hoard, the Chief Justice put it to their Cagliari, whether, lwfure bis tusking any Observations on the facts of the cab... and sipposisg likely that • verdict could nut be given for the Defendants, they were prepared to agree to any 'specific sem as damages. After conferring a con siderable time with their solicitors, and 11e•Counsel on the other side, the Defendant's Counsel replied, that they were not, and that they must proceed with the examination of the witnesses. The CRIMP JUSTICII—." Then chew what right you had to +reek into the lodgings of this lady ; whatever hei situation in life was, though she might have lived with that man, and though he might have kept his notes there, never to send for her to point out what things belonged to her; to lock up }ter doors, turn her out into the streets, and leave her with ost a lodging ! 14 that conduct which COO be justified?

Mr. Serjoant VAUGHAN. on consulting with the Solicitors, than said, they were aware there were Am, facts in the case which could not be legally justified, and therefore consented to having a ver dict entered for the Plaintiff with the damages A verdict was accordingly given for the Plaintiff %--Dansages, 751. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, SATIMDAY, Dscunts 5. Sittings after Michaelmas Term, at Westminster. 131ITATIVE TEA, COFFEE, AND TOBACCO. The Arrosm-ognzaAL V. HEMET COPE. Mr. WALTON having opened the pleadings, The ATTosuire-GesseAL, with his wonted abi lity, stated the information against the Defendant, which imputed, first, that he, being a tea-dealer, had in his possession a large quantity of coloured leaves, in imitation of tea; Billy, that he had a simi lar quantity of coloured leases in his possession, made to resemble tobacco ; and lastly, a quantity of roasted beans, pease, or other grain, in imitation of coffee, whereby he had become liable to pay large penalties to the King. 'John Proctor sous then mons and examined. He deposed that be lived serva.it with a person osf the tisane of Henry Lamb, at Fiskertou, near Newark, Nottinghamshire. In 1809, witness lived with an uncle of this man, named William Lamb, who was a cliymist and druggist ; Henry Lamb was in partnership with his uncle at that time, but on his uncle's death gave up the business of chy mist and druggist, and turned blacking-manufac turer; he bad carried on this business for three years and • half; witness continued with Henry Lamb till last December. He came to Fiskerton in last Noeetobet from Farodon in the same county; witness knew of some imitative tea having been in his Possession. This tea was composed of Amon and whitetboro lame. These leaves were bought horn the collectors at three-halfpence a pound. The whitethorn leaves were infused. in • solution of pot ash and water ; after this, a solution of copperas and water was put to them. They were then drained and dried upon a kiln: this made black tea. The process with the shame leaves was different to that adopted with the thorn-leaver. The shuntac I were scorched in a cylinder, •ud coloured with Dutch pink and Prussian blue. This formed • green, and gave the sort of bloom which genuine green tea bore. Of this sort of stuff Henry Lamb sold large quantities—of shutout', he could say, • ton, at least, had been collected and sold. Of thorn-leaves ha could speak to somewhere about two hnodred weight. He also made an Mika 'ion of tobacco. This was made of sufHower, or wild saffron. He was not aware whether this was • wholesome or a poisonous vegetable. This was a l so infused in a solution of potash, and pressed out to deprive it of its colour. Having been thus deprived Of its natural colour, it was put into a solution of copperas and water, where it remained till com pletely saturated. It was then pressed a second time, and dried; and after being sifted and cleaned, became tobacco. Witness, to "leak within com pass, could say that from one to two tons of this had been made and sold at Farndon and Fulterton within a year and a half. Mr. Lamb was also u sake r of imitative coffee, which was made of rye, roasted io a cylinder, and then ground and mixed with a little coffee. To speak within compass, two or three tons of this had been made and sold. Two women and three or four children were em ployed to collect the ahumac sod thorn leaves be fore mentioned. The steeping took place at Fern don, and the drying at Fiskerton. These articles were sold to different grocers and shopkeepers. Witness knew a person of the nurse of Mr. Eyre, who was Mr. Lamb's agent, or traveller, fur the sale of these things. Witness saw the articles which Were the subject of the present information : they 'were the articles he had heen 'peeking of. Crass-examined by the ColeMoN SEa.IIZANT. Was engaged in making the stuff he had de scribed about a year and • half; was quite satisfied with the making; he did not put it down the people's throats. Mr. Robert Walker, Collector of Excise at ,Leeds, deposed, that on the 31st of March last he went on board a vessel called the Steam. at the wharf, at Leeds ; he was accompanied by Bedford and Gray, his two clerks ; he searched the vessel, and found a hogshead addressed to Mr. Cope. This cask, in the manifest of the vessel, was said to contain black ing ; witness was slot content with this, but broke open the head of the hogshead, and found it to con tain • number of paper parcels, cr ntaining 2161b5. of an article imitating tobacco ; he also found a quantity of paper parcels, containing one hsn dred and seventy-nine pounds of an article imitat ing coffer; it was ground; he took samples of these articles; the whole bulk was setae:t and conveyed to the Excise office, returor , l to the Exchequer. and condemned. After the seizure • search warrant was procured to search Mr. Cope's premises. Witness. in company with others, went to the Defendant's, who keeps • grocer's shop at Leeds. They observed, on entering the premises, two paper parcels lying upon the counter : the shopman was in the shop. and upon being asked what those parcels contained ; he said they were druggist's parcels. Witness- examiued them, and found they contained imitative coffee, soil weighed 51111bs. each. It was the same sort of stuff found on board the Steen. He then went into a ware house belonging to Mr. Cope, about forty yards distance. Here he also made search, sod found several paper parcels containing 94Ibs. of imitative tobacco. This was the sante sort of stuff found in the hogeheed. At the time it ass found it was just put into a hamper by the Defendant and his men. On further search he discovered 36Ihs. of imitative tea : this was likewise in the hamper. The Defendant, on being asked where he got these articles, after sonic heaitation, raid lie had received them front Henry Lamb, of Feskerton, near Newark. He presented to witness an invoice. in which there was an article described as " 112Ibs. of L. E. H. at is." The Defendant said L. E. H. stood for tobacco. In the same invoice there was an article described as " Sfilbs. of C. F. E. at 9il. per pound,“ This the Defendant said stood for coffee. There was likewise an article entitled, " two boxes of E. I. U." which he explained to mean tea. %%Nth regard to the hogshead found on board the Swan, the Defendant said it was iutriideil for him, but hr had reftised to take it in ; *Aims, made an inquiry after the invoice of that, and the Defetid,ii.t pro duced one which he said was it. The good. iii this invoice, however, were deseribed as " two cwt. of E. I. D. (tea) ; there wa• no tea in the ca•k, and therefore this could not be the invoice inquired fur. The Defendant said he had purchased these things of an agent of Mr. Lamb's, oldie name of Eyre, to whom he had given his acceptance at two months for the amount of the first invoice produced. He said he had been thous piompt 111 his payment, be cause Eyre told him, if he (lid not pay immediately, he would acquaint the Exci.e. All these articles, like those found in the vessel. were seized and re. turned to the Exchequer. There was a letter an nexed to the bill of parcels which witness had de scribed. This letter apologised fur delay in send ing the goods, ■nd added, that he wished to send " a real good article, and he believed he had suc ceeded." In cross-examination, witness; said, that the Dr. fending sent to the Excise-office to state that the officers had overloked a (anto) , of tea, which was afterwards ►eized. In re-examination. witness said, Mr. Cope was an entered tea-dealer. The COMMON SZRJEAWT—" I will not trouble you to prove that." Mr. Bedford, clerk to the last witness, corrobo rated his testimony in all respects. Ths Defend akt was much alarmed, and said. he was going to return the goods to the mailufacturers. He en treated that witness would not seize them, as it would ruin him. He threatened to blow Liss brains out. On the next day witness *ea spin to the Defendant's house, and found two boxes iu a small room, in which the seizure was made the previous day. These boxes coutsined eight parcels of imi tative tea, of seven pounds each. Witness did not believe these boxes were there the day before. If they had, he must have seen them. These were seized also. Samples of the respective articles were then pro dnced, and Proctor being recalled. recognised them to be similar to those manufactured by NIG Lamb. The case for the Crown being closed, The COMMON SELMA*? addressed the Jury on the part of the Defendant, whom he described to be a man in a very small way of business, extremely poor, and already in prison for debt. It was impos sible for him to pay tit penalties, which, under this information, he had incurred. He, therefore, must remain at the mercy of the Crown. He fully acceded to all that had been said of the villainy of the manufacturer of those articles; and was happy to say, that he was iu the way to receive that punishment which lie so justly deceived. It was a matter of consolation, however, to the Defendant iu this case, Neat 110 proof had been or could be produced of his haviug been a manufac turer. The great criminal was Lamb, who, it was seen, employed an accomplice of the name of Eyre, who went about to poor 'rookeries', and by false representations induced them to become the receivers of this spurious commodity. The De fendant had proved his disinclinatioir to continue this abominable traffic, by refusing to receive the cask which had been described by Mr. Walker, and being actually found in the ■ct of packing up the rest, to send it back to the manufacturer. The ATTORN EY-GEN ERA L. in reply. said, how ever ingenious the observations of the Com Ser jeant might he, they were riot founded in fact. If the Defendant had ordered genuilie articles, rind was deceived by having imitative thing. sent to him, it was true he had his remedy by sending them back ; hut he would ask, where was to be found the plea of ignorance or innocence, when it was distinctly proved that the Defendant had given his order fur tes.coffee, and tobacco, to a blacking manufacturer. The prices, too, at which the articles were fur nished, was a sufficient proof of the perfect ac quaintance of the Defendant with the gross and atrocious traffic into which he had entered. It was clear, too, from au examination of the invoice.' that his dealings had been considerable, for the iiumtity found on his premises was far less than the amount actually sent. What became of the rest he knew not, 'Omit passed through Own ttttt achs of his Ma-* jesty'ro subjects. He really thought, without Weaning to treat the subject with levity, that it would be well for the gentlemen who dealtd itt these articles, to combine with their other business that of chymists and druggists ; as their advantage would then be double—tint, iu selling the poison to make their customers sick ; and their iu ceiling their drugs to make them well again. Gr.un the whole, he saw no ground in this case for abating the penal ties one farthing, or of extending to the Deferidant even the shadow of mercy. The CHIEF BARON —" The next name in my paper is that of Lamb. Pray, may I ask. is this the person of whom so much has been said ? Is his case to come on to-day ?" ' The ATTORP EY.GENERAL..n." It is the sane person, my Lord; but be has suffered judgment to go by default." The CHIEF B&aox—" It is not in my power to control the mercy which may be exercised by the Crown in this case ; hut I think it right to state, as one appointed to administer justice here, that there is no foundation for those claims to consideration which the Common &drool has put in. It is high time to put an end to this abominable traffic, and as fa► as I understand the case, there is nothing in it to excite compassion." The Jury then returned a verdict for the Crown for the following penalties :—One Thousand the Hundred and Twenty Pounds for 114Ibs. of imita tive tea, at 101. per pound; the Hundred Pounds fur imitative coffee ; and Two Hundred Pounds for imitative tobacco; making a total of the Thou sand Four Hundred aid Twenty Pounds. MR. HORSLEY'S CHILD. Besides the letters mentioned in our paper Inst week, • Lady obligingly called on Mr.. Horsley with another letter received from her brother at Bremen, dated the 44th ult. containing much interestiog in formation on the subject of the recovered Chill. Of this letter the following is a copy : " Bremen, Nov. 24, three o'clock, p.m. Mr. Horsley, of Lundou, a hose sou was stolen (ruin him about three wet ha past, sent last timothy, from Leer, an ex press on to this place to say frieud, Mr. Coleman, the British Consul at Bremen, staling that he was then iu pur.uit of Charles Bennett, the person who carried the child off; and presumed, by the time, or before the express reached Mr. Cul. mato, that the said Re•nett would be in Bremen, re. questing him to use every exertion to apprehend the vil. lain Mr. Coleman received the letter at five o'clock yesterday monolog, ■ad as soon as it was day-light set about the business.

On Saturday night preparations were made to put into execution the last sad nod revoking ceremony which is enacted in that part of our erimival rode relating to suicide, which enacts, that all persons f d guilty by a Jury of .felo, de .4e. shall be busied ise 11w eau roads, and u stake be driven through their bullll a. The Cormier had issued his warrant for the interment of she it. ceased, and directed it to the Sheriff, of 1.111111011, as the proper officers to see the law put in force. The body of the deceased remained at the house of Itlrsi. %Vanier, where the deceased lodged, in Tower-street, UMW every t1,.i.1e was ready of Sassarday night fur its removal to the place of its destivatiuu. About eight o'clock in the eveniug a number of laboure.s commenced digging a large hole at the top of Upper Thanses.sireet, within a few yards of the chain, Tower-kilt The bole, when completed, was seven feet deep sad six feet long. Great murderer were col lected together al the lime t h e • seavaiion was being made, and they expressed great disallllllll3ildll of the proeredinge., and during the absence of the .li.lolllCfs for a shoot time, they commenced tilling up the bole again, but some City eouatables arriving, soon caused them to desist from their purpose. Between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, the Serjeant at Mace, who was appointed by the Sheriffs to superniteud file uuplcas,nl hwiurse, and the City Marshals, with a num ber of City and Assistant Officers, arrived usi the spot, mid when the place was prepared to receive the body, they went to the house of Mrs. Warner, with the Coroner's warrant, to demand the body of the deceased; some labourers re moved the slaked body down stairs (the clothes which this deceased had sill %lien he shot himself had been takes; off), and placed it on a shutter; it was ceseered with a sheet, and carried away out the shoulders of foot of the labourers, to Upper Thatnes.street, some of the officers carried torches, and crowds followed the body to the burial place. Ou its arriving at its destination, the shutter was laid on the soil at the side of the grave, and by that time a great cuucourse of persons, males sod (musy., had assembled to witness the disguising scene, and it was generally feared that some ac cisleut would oecur from the great pressure, which must have been the result had it not been for the activity of the police. The cloth was removed from the body, and it was exposed naked to public view. The crowd immediately ex pressed a fes ling of horror at the terrific sight ; cries of "Shame! shame! scandalous! and shucking!" were loudly vociferated by the by-standers. After the body had lain in that condition fur a shout time, it was their throws. headlong into the hole prepared to receive it. tVlseo it fell its, lbw noise canoed a renewal of the expression of public feeling.— " Where is the Comm 'a was root ?"—" Disgrarefol la a ei vil.sed rounds y !"- 0 Horrible!" and" Isilkisnan exposure!" Wad site language used on the occasion. The officers ordered the place to be tilled up immediately—it was twelve o'clock before it was sceumplkh. d ; and guards were appuiuted'for the purpose of prevent iost the removal of the body. DESPERATE GJAG OF RESURRECTION MEN. About two o'clock on Saturday morning the inhabitants of Shadwell nigh street were thrown into the greatest alarm by a most daring gang of hod-snatchers, who made a most desperate mutt k upon a pour watchman, named Phillips, whet hail un a previous occasion frustrated their design of stealing dead bushes from the church-yard. There were about six of these daring villains ill company, and they found the pour man iii his box; one of them struck him with a bludgeon across the head, but he having gut wit of the box, succeeded in springing his rattle. They all at that moment commenced heating hien with bludgeons. and kick ing him when down, lull the blood a used in torrents from him on the ground. The poor fellow fought aa well as he ewtld , and heist cilling fur asoistauce. Some enure wide lumen, and several of the neighbours, came forward as quick as po.sihle, which put the offenders to flight, and sated the pour matt from briuzuturtleac.l. Ile was taken to the usteh Itou.e app;lrently dead, and still lies iu a meat (fingerings stale . Thr tau a assigned for this daring outrage is as follows : A i tilde ago an Irishman, who died in the London Hospital, after he was waksJ , w.is buried in Shadwell Church-yard ; the following night the Borough gang of goody matchtur, headed by u notori ;;;; • fellow, of the name of in-welch, cows to steal the body ; Lut the watchman having collecird a strung muster ul his brethren, engaged them, and after fightirg nearly an huur, ;Living suit steely ing nosily severe blows tot Mill side, she resurrection wen were put to flight and one of their party made prisoner; he was next day fight, before the Magistrates at Shadwell Office, when he underiscut a lung examiuAtiou. and was ordered to find hail. The Captain of the gang (Crouteb) presented himself as one of the hail, hut he was recognised, and consequently re jected. Since that period several attempts were made to hill Ilse watchman. On wie occasion the /MAC fellows brought some gin to Ins box fur him to drink, saying it had lucru sent by the wife of the hishinan above mentioned ; but the wall btnao would nut lw duped. Another time they threw • large clone into his box, but be having assistance at hand on this occasion, set them to flight. On Friday night, how ever, they came vvileutly with a full intention of murdering him, aid in all probability would have succeeded, but for the prompt assistance rendered by the other watchmen tad neighbours.
