The boy went to a person who keeps a shop, to offer the
paper for sale, and who, instead of purchasing it, gave him
into custody after he had attempted to run away.
It appeared that the prisoner had the permission to go
into the premises of several printers, when he had oppor-
tunities of taking paper and other property, but no proof
was given of the ownership of the paper.
The boy's father could give no account of the matter,
and the prisoner himself said he would rather be silent
upon the subject.
The alderman sentenced the prisoner to one week's

prisonment for having been i; possession of the goods
without being able satisfaetorily to account for such pos-
session._

Qom Vander Neanwindick, a seaman on board a Mitch
vessel, was fined 1001. for having in his possession 10 pounds
of contraband tobacco.

The defendant said the charge against him was the
revenge for an accusation of robbery which he had some
time ago brought spinet a thief at the Manslop house.
In default of payment of the penalty, the defendant was
ordered to be imprisoned sin celendar months, but was
advised to petition the Commusionen of Customs for
