The question is often debated, Where is the best market to buy the necessaries of life. ? among the more important f which may be enumerated tea, coffee, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as is sure to be the case, and ever will be, until people knew how to decide n hat constitutes cheapness. • Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficulty in judging its value by appearance, and families, to secure good qualities, are frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why should this be ? The importations for several years have been re markably large, comprising unusually fine selections ; the markets have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the advantage.; arising therefrom. Our invariable custom is to accommodate our prices with the mar ket currency. We are enabled at present to sell exceedingly good Black Tea at 3s. 4d. ; very superior at 3s. Bd. ; and very full and line flavoured at 4s. For the Finest Black Tea imported we are charging only 55. per pound. Coffees are also very reasonable, notwithstanding the recent ad vance in prices. We can confidently recommend good Coffee at ls. 2d. ; very good at Is. 4d. ; and very choice at lc Gd. ; and Is. Bd. per pound for the finest. - WO invite a comparison of our articles and prices. East India and Carolina Rice, Sago, Arrowroot, Spices, raw and refined Sugars at corresponding low prices.

'During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating tormeut soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have bad no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTIL" The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic l'ills, which afford speedy relief to those actedafflt with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica , tic doloreux, pains i head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to therm a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times.

They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : In fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many gratefel evidences of its benign influence.

JUSTICE TALFOURD AND TUE OXFORD =um The bar of the Oxford Circuit gave a banquet on Saturday last, at the Albion, to Mr. Justice Talfourd, upon his elevation to the Bench, and consequent re tirement from the position he has so long held as leader of that body. Mr. ‘Vhateley, Q.C., (who succeeds to the leadership of the circuit), occupied the chair, and was supported on the right by the distinguished guest of the evening, and upon the left by Lord Campbell. The company included the following gentlemen : Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams, Sir Edward Ryan, Into Chief Justice of Bengal; Sir Robert 'Coinyn, late ChiefJmtico of Madras; Hon. John Talbot, Q.C., At torney-General to the Prince of Wales; the Right Hon. Sir John Jervis, Attorney-General; Mr. Commissioner Shepherd, Q.C., Hon. F. Leveson Gower, Sir Thomas Phillips, Mr. H.

Covers were laid for ninety, and only one seat at the table remained vacant when grace was pronounced. After the cloth had been withdrawn, the first toasts were, " Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," and " His Royal Highness Prince Albert." ' Both were received with becoming honours. „- The Learned CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the toast of the evening. He commenced by a retrospec tive glance at the public honours and distinctions which had been obtained by many gentlemen who had belonged to the Oxford Circuit and by several of whom he was now surrounded. In this catalogue Of honourable names he would especially point out one who left the circuit early, not to enjoy himself in I literary ease, but to produce those great historical works which would be read and cherished so long as ' the English language endured. Need he say that he ' referred to " Ilallam ?"—(Cheers.) And on looking around he saw on each side gentlemen belonging to the circuit who had attained high and honourable situations, sortie of whom were still performing most important public duties. Why, he asked, had such men as these assembled round that table ? Because .they esteemed and revered their distinguished guest. 'These were great names. But he should not offend them in saying that it was not their presence only which gave honour to his Learned Friend. It Was the presence also of those who had been his compa nions and competitors up to the last hour in his arduous professional pursuits. Those also had assent bled to do honour to his Learned Friend : and it was this which conveyed Mr. Justice Talfourd's highdst eulogy.—(Great cheers.) He would say nothing of the eminent qualifications of his Learned Friend for the high position he now so honourably and so wor thily enjoyed; but he must say one word of those kindly affections which, more than anything, had endeared him to all his brethren.—(Hear, heat.) They all knew his intense love of truth and his kindness of heart, which had deprived the bitterest contests of all animosity. His Learned Friend had diffused a kindly feeling over the profession, which— although he was now removed from his immediate colleagues—would alWays attach to his name. These were truths they all felt ; nevertheless, there was some bitterness in the cup they were now drinking, and in one sense this .was a solemn festival, for it implied that they were losing one of their earliest and most beloved members. For himself, individually, it severed one of the dearest ties of friend ship.—(Hear.) His Learned Friend and himself joined the circuit at the same tithe—they had gone on together with increasing esteem, and every act of his Learned Friend, every word he had spoken, every laurel lie had won, had only endeared him m ore an d more. But though the Oxford Circuit had lost him, in their ordinary duties and in their daily walks, their Learned Friend was still with them. He was still their friend ; and though their loss by his removal was very great, there was not one who slid hot heartily and cordially rejoice at his advancement.— (Loud cheers.) He did not, indeed, believe there ever was a man who attained so high a situation with more entire affection or more cordial sympathy:— (Renewed cheering.) But they all knew this as well as he did. They all knew the truth and the ability of his Learned Friend, if not so long, at least as well as he did. For this reason he would not intrude upon them any longer, but at the same time he felt how inadequately he had performed the duty he was called , upon to discharge. In conclusion, he asked them to fill a bumper to the health of Mr. Justice Talfourd— (Cheers)—and as this was the last toast he had the honour of proposing, he called upon them to receive it with three times three. The toast was then drunk with great applause, and three times three cheers were given for the Learticd Judge. Mr. Justice Tanronap, in rising to reply, was again received with cheers. The Learned Judge delivered a very feeling address. He commenced by observing that if the expressions of regard and kind ness in the eloquent address of his old and dear frier.d the senior and leader of the Oxford Circuit had arisen from or been occasioned by circumstances which bad no interest beyond the feelings and delights of the hour, and if they had been responded to by only half the expressions of cordiality with which they had been received, he should have felt any language of his quite inadequate to describe his gratitude. But as such regard and kindness had been expressed upon no ordinary occasion, lioVcould be hOpe to give full vent to the feelings which rushed upon him at that moment —a moment which they had not only invested with festive splendour, but enriched with unexampled kind ness—a moment which formed a sort of prominence and resting place in his life—a moment which embraced at once scenes of important duties he had to administer, and at the same time a happy retrospect of the hopes and feelings, and interest and delights, of eight-and-twenty years, bound together by the relations of a continuous period of life, of which he was now to take farewell, but which in a nobler sense now became his possession for ever (Cheers.) It would be most ungrateful in him to that gracious Providence who had wrought the great change in his fortunes which they had honoured him by celebrating, if he did not, amidst these regrets, avow that the change had come upon him in a most happy season. It had come upon him at a season when the conflicts of professional life, though sup ported by a constant sense of kindness and regard fur those around him, began to open prospects that seemed at least to be too arduous. It had come upon him at a season in life when the toils of the professh.n might with justice be left to others whose qualities had endeared them to him. It had come to him at a time when retirement from the strifes and contro versies of professional and public life seemed to leave some space for contemplation between the court and the grave. It had come to him at a time when the spirit had often been ready to bend, but which, supported by kind feelings and personal friendships, had snatched a passing joy of which neither fate nor fortune could deprive him. Yet, at that very time, he had received from a Government whom he had served with no mean or base subserviency—(Loud cheers) —from the hands of those from whom it was the highest honour to receive it—an appointment which entirely met his utmost ambition, and realised his dearest, earliest, and fondest hopes —(Cheers.) It was an appointment which, though it presented to his mind grave and important duties to be discharged through such remainder of his life as it might please God to give him, afforded at the same time the purest and most independent scope for the horrourable exer cise of those duties; and it also provided for such exercise, if pursued with singleness and uprightr_ess of mind, the reward of that respect and honour in which the Judges of England are held heyuie those of any other country upon earth.—(Cheers.) And if there mere any additi ona l f e li c i ty to himself in the appointment, it was in respect of the Court upon whose bench he had now the honour of a seat, in the room of one of the most upright, exemplary, and ablest of judges.—(Cheers.) It was a seat. too, upon a bench where, he was happy to say, the Oxford Circuit had now an absolute mjority. It was his privilege to feel that upon that bench his own knowledge of law, which he confessed was far too small, would be aided by those who had been the ornaments of the circuit—by those who were among the greatest lights of the country—by those who, if they had any equals in intellect or in knowledge, had certainly no sups . riors.—(Cheers.) But, though no appointment could have given him greater satisfaction than4hat with I which he had been so honoured, and though it con . ...__ ..._. . ..___. „......._..... ._ - ferred upon ,bim, not only unexpeeed, -but complete, happiness, lie could not help feeling it rarely happened to any one to be severed from such a body —he might say i from such a world—of associations as those which now clustered around his honoured, his favoured circuit. When he glanced at the long period of eight-and-twenty years, during which he had the happiness of being a member of that great body —when he glanced through that long vista, eloquent with thought and feeling and friendship, to ' the time when himself and his'Lczu'ned Friend in the chair entered as novices, with young and enthusiastic spirits, but with trembling, hopes, upon their career, down to the last assizes at Stafford, he found all en deared to him, not only by .association with his honoured friend, but by having been the scene of many of his most arduous professional exertions. When he received the appointment which severed him from the circuit and which placed his friend in the situation of their beloved and honoured leader— (Cheers)—he looked back as though it were only yesterday to the time when they both were welcomed 'to the circuit by the unforgotten graciousness of the then leader (Mr. Jervis), and he wished that eminent , . man could have lived to see his own character exem plified in the splendid and energetic career of his distinguished son.—(Great cheers.) He remembered, too, as though it were but yesterday, the first and earnest agitation of his besrt when in the town which opened the circuit, and which also opened the scene of his own life—Reading—he first attempted to speak - at the bar in the presence of a not unexpectant audience. He remembered as though it were yesterday first giving utterance to those 'expressions which, though spoken with trembling and emotion, found a successful response in other hearts. He. rejoiced also to re member when, without any absolute failure, and at the same time without any splendid success, he . entered upon the delightful journeys of • the circuit without . any fear of business interposing between himself and his pleasure. How happy was he to visit place after place, as a, stranger then, which became familiar to him in after life l' HO* 'delightful, when in Oxford, 'lodging with some undergraduate, though Providence had denied himself the great blessing of a university education, to fancy himself a student, mingling with his own excitement a sort of intellectual dream . of a happy student life. He remembered his first,descent into the vale of Evesham, his visits to the good town of Shrewsbury, and thence by a continuous strum' of beauty to old Gloucester. When he first pursued that-glorious journey, which was one continuance of variety and pleasure, he little thought how those scenes were to become familiar to him—he little thought then how inexpressibly dear they were to become to him as a relief from else intolerable anxie ties, by perpetually renewing friendships, until at last every place in the circuit seemed like another feast and another home, reviving scenes of half -remembered pleasures. But not only in local associations and local at tachments had he felt enjoyment—he had felt it among his brethren in the communion of mind to mind and heart to heart. It had often been said, though sometimes unjustly, that envy was the pest of men. But, in the profession of the law, and especially in the Oxford circuit, so far from that statement being true, there ' was the most liberal, generous, and earnest disposition to sympathise with every instance of talent and genius developed among them. For himself he could truly say that the sympathy exhibited towards him during the whole of his course . had been to him not only an impulse, but the greatest gratification and encouragement. To one who, like himseF, was fevered and fluttered in action, who had never lost the cares and palpitations of youth, who had always en tered upon the " game of nisi prius" with a fearful sense of its uncertainty, and amidst much distrust of his own inability to cope with its difficulties and the powers of those opposed to him, it had been a source of inexpressible pleasure to have around him, not a criticising or cynical, but a most friendly and even affectionate audience. He owed, further, a peculiar debt of gratitude to the Oxford Circuit,which he should be wanting in truth if he did not openly acknowledge. To the Oxford Circuit he was indebted for having by their kindness endeavoured to protect him against the danger which he had, perhaps, too rashly hazarded, of pursuits that might be thought inconsistent with his profession, and for having protected him from the sentence which the world was too apt to pass upon those who attempted such pursuits.—(Hear.) He had not, he admitted, pursued the more discreet forbearance of his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Campbell). He had not, like his Noble and Learned Friend, concealed those great resources of literature ' and art which adorned 'his retirement now that he had attained the highest honours in his profeseion, and so worthily established a permanent rank among the great and the noble. He had not bad the for bearance to imitate his Noble and Learned Friend ; but, with a more restless impulse, he had striven, even in the sternest conflicts, to give rent to those feelings, thoughts, and images which, in humbl e lif e , he had earned amidst those scenes upon the circuit to which he had referred. Having done this, he was perfectly aware that such a course might well have been followed by the judgment which the world was usually ready to pass upon such attempts ; and if the issue had come to that, he should have been prepared for it. But the constant friendship of those who, if they had looked coldly upon his professional career, might have given the world that sanction for its judgment which the world wanted, had protected him against himself, and enabled him to overcome that judgment ; to them, therefore, he was at this moment mainly indebted for the high position he had the honour to hold. He, wished he could in word express his earnest gratitude to and his wishes for the 'prosperity of the great body from which he was now severed, but with which, in heart at least, he should remain inseparably connected. Thus thanking them for their noble welcome, and addressing them for the last time as a member of the circuit in the presence of their leader—his old and valued friend of fifty-eight circuits —and in the presence of a junior from his own county, the son of one of those magistrates before he delighted to appear in the early days of his practice—he would express an earn st hope that such prosperity as Heaven could vouchsafe might wait upon all those who had attended to crown his own course with blessings ; that, in their course through life, they might meet with something like the generous friendship which had sustained and cherished him ; and that, if they should arrive at that station in which it had pleased Providence to place him, they might receive a welcome as cordial as that for which he now thanked them, and with a heart as full as that with which he prayed God to bless them all.—(Long-continued cheers.) At the close of the cheering, Mr. Justice TAISOURD rose again, and in a justly complimentary sprech, proposed " The health f. f Mr. Whateley," the leader of the Oxford Circuit. The toast was received with overwhelming applause, Mr. Wuarener thanked the Circuit most cordially for their reception of the toast, and his Learned Friend for the manner in which he had proposed it. E had been one of the greatest blessings in his lire to have joined the Oxford Circuit. Twenty-eight years ago he joined it in friendship with his Learned Friend now he accounted him the dearest friend he possessed in the world, and he rejoiced heartily at his having attained his honourable position. Coining after Mr. Justice Talfuurd, he felt how difficult it would be for him to fulfil the duties of leader as he had, done ; but he bad the advantage of his example, and if anything should be wanting he knew it would be supplied by those around him. Before he sat down he would say of his Learned Friend that, having known him in ail the eager contests of professional life, he did not re member one single instance, in which his Learned Friend had ever _forgotten either truth or j us ti ce . Ile had never known his Learned Friend descend to subterfuge. lie had never known him anxious to se cure a triumph at the expense of justice and truth.— (Renewed cheers ) He most cordially thanked his learned friends for the good feeling they had mani fested towards him, and he was sure that, with him, they would wish a long enjoyment of health and hap piness to Mr. Justice Talfourd.-L-(Great cheering.) No further toasts were given, and after spending a very pleasant evening the party separated. Mr. Justice Alaule was unfortunately prevented by indisposition from being present. METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS or SEWERS.— On Friday the Commissioners held a go. oral court for the purpose of laying a rate of Bd. in the pound for the half year on the Surrey and lisnt districts. Two letters of objection to the rate were read by the secre tary—the first from Mr. Charles Bow, found: d on the small amount of work done in his neighbourbhod, from which a portion of the rate was to be raised. This objection the Commissioners agreed in regarding as unfounded. The second letter was from Mr. Henry Thomas, of St. George's-road. It complained in strong terms that little had been done by the Commissioners in that vicinity, and particularly that au open sewer which had beeo :ending forth pestilential vapours for thei% forty years had not been closed up. The letter further complained that sums of money collected in one dis trict were expended in others. This letter was also decided to be more in the nature of a complaint than of a valid objection to the rate. The secretary then 11 ad a memorial from Henry Erlgitigton and eight other inhabitants of Bermondsey, objecting t) the rate, on the ground that it woul.l be unequal in its collection, mondsey being rated upon a rack rent basis, s. Lam beth, with which they were in partnership, had adopted a far lower assessmi nt. The Commissioners on this held that the rate was imposed according to the terms of the Act of Parliament, and that if there was any hardship felt it lay w ith the parishes themselves to remove it, by facilitating an uniform rating. Th e objection having been overruled, the rate was signed by ;he requisite number of Commissioners, and haling been formally declared and published, the Court adjourned. ROYAL COLLEGE Or SURGEONS.—The following gentlemen having undergone the necessai y examinations for the diploma were admitted members of the . College at the meeting of' the Court of Examiners on the 16th inst.:—Messrs. Thomas Pettit Wright, Chatteris, Cam- , bridgeshire; John Anderson, Old Kent-road; Herbert Taylor Reticle, Quebec; Edward Egan, Dublin; Arm sl‘ong Todd, Dublin; Benjamin Webster, Morley lodge, near Leeds; James Shepherd, Northallerton, YOrkshire; William John Tennant,•Dubliii; and Edward ollidge l'iLt, Brunswick-pLco, City-road. THE MURDER. IN MILBANIii PRISON. John Francis, who stands charged with the cold blooded murder of Thomas Hall, one of the warders, underwent a very lengthened examination before Mr. Burrell, one of the Westminster police-cOurt magis trates, at the Milbank prison, on Saturday, the only persons present being the Magistrate and clerk, Mr: Hayward, from the Treasury, and Captain Groves,' governor of the gaol at the time of his entrance. The prisoner was brought in closely guarded by two turnkeys. He exhibited throughout the same callousness as on the occasion of the coroner's inquest. He listened without the slightest emotion to the horri , ble _details of this cold-blooded tragedy,. and with much cunning carefully avoided; in his questions to the witnesses, the slightest allusion to that portion of their testimony affecting him, but wasted considerable time in ptitting, as before,. frivolous and irrelevant questions. He is amm about five feet five inches in height, does not develop much muscular power, al though well knit, and is of the Jewish persuasion. The offence which originally consigned him to this gaol was a larceny, after previous conviction for a similar offence. He was furnished with pens, ink, and paper, and took notes of the proceedings. The witnesses who had severally given their evi dence before the coroner's jury having been sworn, repeated their statements in almost the same words, nor did the frequent interruptions or questions of the prisoner go a step further than before to show any motive for the commission of the dreadful crime upon an inoffensive maa, in whom kindness seems to have been a leading characteristic. The witness Westbury, an elderly convict, who appeared to be a man of some feeling, was so ex cited by a recapitulation of the words he had heard uttered and the part he had seen of this fearful tra gedy, that he exclaimed, with tears running down his face, "It was a sight I shall never forget; to be within view of a man being murdered, and not to be able to help him, in dreadful indeed ; to be fastened up and know that' such a thing is going on, is more than a man can bear. If I had been loose my poor strength could have been of very little service, still •T Would willingly have tried to save him." Upon the depositions being completed and read over, Mr. Burrell, in the usual form, asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything? Prisoner—l have only two requests : the one is that I may be furnished with copies of the depositions ; and the other is that I may ba sent to Newgate and have a fair trial. llaving been informed that he could have copies upon the usual terms, . Mr. Burrell observed, that his warrant would com mit him to Newgate. Prisoner—l have been in irons all the time I have been removed from my ward. Mr. Burrell—l have nothing whatever to do with that. Prisoner—The session commences on Monday week. I know I shall get no justice here. Captain Groves remarked that there had been every desire evinced on his part to treat the prisoner with the utmost fairness. lie had communicated with the persons named by the prisoner as his friends, but none of them had interested themselves is his behalf. Prisoner—l ought to have been sent away from here after the coroner's inquest. I was told I should be taken before a magistrate. The laws of my country say justice shall be done. Mr. Burrell—And there is no doubt it will. The prisoner was then removed, muttering inco herent sentences. Captain Groves observed that he should be very glad to get rid of him, as he really could not afford to have two men constantly placed over him; and from the desperate character of the prisoner, he was afraid, after what had happened, if he were to attempt another act of the same description, something serious might result. Mr. Burrell observed, that the prisoner appeared very mindful of the slightest thing affecting his own interest, although he did not exhibit the slightest emotion at the dreadful details given by the witnesses. [There appears to be some legal ditlieulty with re spect to the removal of a convict, or the prisoner would doubtless have been sent to Newgate upon the coro ner's warrant. The difficulty, it is understood, has been overcome by some other instrument, and the pri soner was taken to Newgate in the course of the after noon in a cab.] STATE Os' TRADE.-.-BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.— The manufacturers of this town are generally pretty well employed, although, as is always the case in Bir mingham, where its trades are so various, in seine branches there is little doing. It must be recollected, however, that a few weeks before Christmas a few businesses are usually dull, nor i s it lik e l y i n some de scriptions of manufacture they should be otherwise until the commencement of the ensuing year. The iron trade is represented to be fist as compared with the promises held out at quarter-day. Orders for the home market come in tardily, and one or two furnaces have been put out of blast. DOWNING STREET GOSSIP.—Mr. R. Carter has been appointed Treasurer of Newfoundland; Mr. C. Bayley, Colonial Secretary at Mauritius; Mr. C. Lake, stipendiary magistrate at Jamaica. The following ap pointments were made on Saturday by the Lords of tne Admiralty::--11. A. Hollinworth, lieutenant, to the In defatigable; P. A. St. Leger, commander, to study steam at Woolwich. Letters which reached town on Saturday from Lord Lincoln represent the Noble Ea' re health as considerably improved by his marine excursion. As at present arranged, his Lordship will not return to Eng land until after the meeting of Parliament. We are happy to learn that the Duke of Newcastle, whose serious indisposition we announced last week, is fast recovering. Owing to the lamented illness of Earl Fortescue (Lord Steward of her Majesty's Household) his Lordship has been advised to pass the winter in the Mediterranean. His eon, the Hon. Member for Barnstaple, accompanies the Noble Earl, and we have authority to state that the Queen has been graciously pleased to approve of Vis count Ebrington acting as vice-lieutenant for the county during his noble father's absence. A rumour, which received general credence, prevailed on Saturday in Westminster Hall, and afterwards in the clubs, of the decease of Lord Denman. We are happy to have it in our power to state that there is no truth in this report of an event which, whenever it may occur, will be universally deplored on personal and national grounds. We were informed on Saturday night at the town residence of Lord Denman, that the accounts received during the week from Stoney Middleton re presented his Lordship to be steadily improving in health, and , that letters written with bis own hand had been received on Friday. There is no foundation for the rumour of Mr. H. D. Browne's death. The lion. Member was lately confined to his chamber for some days by an attack of influenza, but is now convalescent. Mr. Cobden is making arrangements for attending a series of meet ings among his constituents in the West Riding. The Post-office authorities are now engaged in negotiating with the American Government an arrangement for better regulating the accounts upon the international correspondence between this country and the United States. The suggestions, which have emanated from the authorities here, are directed to obviate the present tedious and inconvenient system of making up and taxing the American correspondence at Liverpool. It is proposed that either office should account to the other for tho weight of letters by the gross, and not by the individual letter. This system has been adopted with reference to the French and English mails, and the result has bean highly satisfactory.— Weekly Chronicle. ALARMING FIRE AT CAMDEN-TOWN.—DISCOVERY OF AN ILLICIT STlLL.—Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, the premises, 6, King's-place, Camden town, were discovered to be on fire. An instant alarm was given and messengers were sent for the engines. In a very brief period thu parish and London Brigade engines arrived, when the firemen found that the flames had commenced in a loft over the coach-house, and had ex tended into another similar building over the stabling. With assistance the flames were extinguished, when it was ascertained that one part of the premises where the fire had fallen into was used as a private still, and bad no doubt been so engaged for some time past, tbo owners of which, upon hearing the alarm of fire given, succeeded in making their escape before the police came up. The whole plant was immediately seized by t he authorities. No one in the neighbourhood .had the least idea of illicit distillation being carried on in the premises. The build ing was insured in the Phoenix Fire. office.
