ADV.thERATION OF PEPPER.. '
A' judicial qnquify; which kited between four and fire,
hours, took. place yesterday at the Sessions House, arising
from an information laid by the Customs officers of tha
Itevehee, against Messrs. Wright' and Crossley,
extensive < merchants: and manufactitrers- 'of' pciiPer,
carrying on business in North John-street.
Mr. Tyndall; solicitor, appeared fOr the prosCcution ;
and Mr. Asp-Mall, instructed by Megars.'Woodburn and
J. Pemberton, for the defendants.
Mr. Tyndall; in Opening the case, stated that the
defendants were charged with having in their'possession
pepper adulterated with mustard husks,,and proceeded
to show that hUSks gave inferior black pepper a better
colour, thus rendering its 'tale prodnetive of greater'
profit. (hi the 13th ofjanuary last, Mr. George Bartene
supervisor of excise, 'in company with Mr. John Weir,.
chemist, visited .the defendant's' premises, where -they'
found two casks of black pepper and one of white pepperi.
Which they (having first secured a sample of each),
'placed under seizure. The samples 'thus obtained Were
divided into three parts, two portions were sent to ,Lon,
don. tind the 'third was retained, and examined by the
nieroseope. The respectability of the parties would be'
tendered as a defence; but, if ,he could prove, the
offence, they would be liable in the full penalty 4
tl.OO, any mitigation of which be would strongly oppose,
for reasons which he enumerated ; one of . these being','
that in consequence of their misdemeanour every trades-;
maw baying in his possession the adulterated pepper,
was liable to be prosecuted in a similar'way, and to the
full penalty of £lOO.
'The drat witness called was Mr. George Barton, who
bore testimony to the facts above stated.
The next Ni i•ness called was Mr. John Weir, chemist
under the excise, of fire years' experience, who corrobo-
rated the foregoing witness„ .and. added that;,in addition
to the mustard
,husks, there was found in the pepper 4
quantity of 'cereal starch.--Mr; Aspinall. handed him
three bottles containing pepper produced by Dr. Inman:i
and desired him to say whether he could detect in it.,
with the naked 'eye any mustard husks:—The witness
said he easily detected the husks in_each of them, as well
as in Nos. 1,2, and 3 samples produced by Mr. Hard•e„
man. In set A; folir samples produCed by Mr. !bison,
he could net detect adulteration,' but did so‘easilyinj
set. B. In his examination of fortyjir fifty small, or-)
tions of each'sample taken from the defendants' premiseS„
he bad used an . excellent microscope, which magnified!
up to 240 diameters. On every occasion pe, found from
five to eight' pereent. of mustard huiks in the whOle
amount, and, of. cereal :starch, about one ,per cent. Re-
did not knew for what, purpose the. husks went;
placed in the • white pepper, unless for a' larger,
amount of profit, for it -would certainly not
improve its appearance. ,He visited the defend-,
ants' preMises in cOnsequence of having found
in a number of shops.adulterated 'pepper, which he wa4
informed had been purchased of. Messrs. 'right 4,T
Crossley. There were two sorts .of mustard, red and
white.. In. all the 'pepper he, found White mustard .
ocular inspection; and in: the !kick peppe;,.red...andi
white on examination' under the microscope. The .
witness handed to the court a quantity of husks plaied"
between two oblong pieces of glass, and which had been't
found in the barrel No. 3 ; but on being asked to
examine it through the microscope, he said thatit could '
not be done, the glass containing the pepper being too
thick.

Mr. Robert Williamson, assistant 'chemist for the I
Board of Inland Revenue at London, educated, by the
Board at the London University, was next called. He
had been two years a chemist, and had great erperience
in the, examination of samples. In January last. he
examined two samples of black and one of white pepper
sent from Liverpool, and'found that-the black contained
five per cent. of white and redmustard seed, and one per
cent, of cereal starch ; and the white eight per ceAt.
white -mustard seed only. It contained also—what 'is
known by grocers as long pepper. . - •
Mr. ;William Harris, supervisor in the excise •for
fifteen years; had-ionic.' einerfenee id the examination of
pepper. On Wednesday lasklhe bad examined, -under,)
Mr. Weir's microscope, portions of the samples seized.,
at Messrs.' Wright Crossley's, and had found in' thern
mustard husk and a trace of starch other than pepper i
starch. Husks improved the colour of dark pepper, but.,;
he was not aware that it improved white pepper many
way.. .
This was.the evidence for the prosecution.
Mr. Aspinall suggested, as the'case, he thoukht; coact
not be fiaished that day, and. as he had a large numbest 7
of important witnesses to call, that it should be adjourneek
so that Dr. 'lnman and others should have an opportunity
of, examining the samples producect in court by the
prosecution.
?tir. Tyndall was denroni 'that the samples should be,
tested in and before the whole court:

e:t.)L

This method was objected to,, and
Mr. Aspinall -addressed the 'court on bbhalf of the
defendants, stating that his clients were chtireed
adulterating the pepper in order to obtain, greater profits.
I;fe could not help complaining of the conduct of the
Government in not obtaining prolteisional assistance.'
The evidence of the witnesses which he would-
would present a marked difference from what they had
already heard. Dr. Inman. and Messrs. Hardman and'A
Huson, gentlemen okgy,eati•experienee in suckmatters,
had examined pepper:from the def6dants' premises,
and-also'. portions of •tho samples• Ht the Custom-hotise.-"
Mr. Aspinnll, read the reports of Dr.. Inman andlilr.A.
Huson, Which affirmed most positively that no traces of
mustard husks had been found in-the pepper, after' n='
protracted and searching examination jkeach instangei3O
, Mr. Ilardinan also had ailed to discover husks iu the
samples. ; Such evidence as this ewes; in his *Uinta,
more satisfactory than
.that„giyen, on behalf -of_ ithe•
Crown. Mr. Clarke, a member of the firm, and
the manager and -others employed by the defendants,
would swear. that mustard
.husks were never
-used by
them for purposes of adulteration; and it would be
shown, if necessary, that various Substandes were now
and then accidentally mixed with the pepper whilst it
was transmitted from one place to another. .Having
prOved all these thingi,- and having called=not boys
.from
,sehool,. but • mew- of substance and standing •nt
science, he would ask the court not only to acquit
'Messrs. Crossley, but to say that the' greatest negligence
and want of skill had been shown by the officers of the •
Crown, ,
The following witnesses were called :
Mr. George Hason, analytical chemist, of seventeen' -•'
or eighteen years' experience in• the. examination, for. Jr
commercial 'purposes, of various articles, read three
letters, stating that he had examined samples furnished• 44
him by Messrs. Crossley, in February ; and had found
in the pepper no articles used fot adulteration, All the ,f
pepper was or •_ a superior character; Witness' got a
quantity of pepper, ground it himself, and having done •:
• so,.found that the coincidence between it and Messrs.
Crossley's pepper' was remarkable. He then obtained,
at the request of Messrs. Woodburn and:Pemberton,
portions of the samples at the Custom-house, and
found the pepper identical with 'that' furnished him
by Messrs.' Crossley.. Mr. Tyndall put a number of cci
questions to Mr. Huson, and, at his suggestion,
mixed twenty pinches of pepper with elle of husks.' /-
This accomplished, •Mr. Tyndall, proposed that the eours..,
should inspe©t the officers' samples and the 'Mature, and
offered to withdraw the case should a diftrence in them
be palpable.
, • •
Mr. Raffles objected to such a proceeding; and
Dr. Inthati was callekwhe said-that be had obtained a
set of samples of pepper from Mr, Clarke, and another ;a

evidence to support the charge. It was no disparage-
nient to, the officers of the Revenue to fail in making
'out their case, (in soientitle grounds, when a gentleman
of br, brimit's great experience was opposed to them.
Mr..Tyndall—Thatis to say the officers of the Rel,s,:teue
are incompetent to discharge their duties.
, Mr. Raffles repudiated that idea ; and, in answer to a
'remark by Mr. Aspinall, said that he was quite satisfied
that no adulteration had taken Wee. At this announce-: •
