CALTAE.—Thia was an information, at the instance of the
customs' department, to recover penalties from the de-
fondant for having been concerned I. the illegal removal
hem the bonded warehouses of the custom-house, of 24
deeds of tea, upon which the duties had not been paid. The
icin depended principally upon the evidence of one
, who had been in the defendant's employment as
11707; small steamer, of which he was owner, while re-
siding at Jersey last year. This witness deposed that the
delendant, who had formerly been a hatter at Lanebeth,
hisnwith money, obtained a reference as to cha.
died
Mr. Turnly, a solicitor, and thus enabled him,
mar the asismed name of John Clarke, to become tenant
of a ear in Beal-lane, Clements'atreet, to keep the teas in,
and esnimeissl the whole of the arrangements, whereby the
impala hem% lad been committed. In en* transac-
tion 14 dm* of tea were sold last year to Mr.
Ilimisell, ma edsative grocer and tea dealer in Suckleesbury,
at Ts. 6d. per lb., although the duty to which all teas were
liable, amounted to 2s. 21d. per lb. The proceeds, amount-
ing to about 2001., were traced to the defendant. The evi-
dence of this witness was flatly contradicted by Mr. Walsh,
brother-in-law of the defendant, and against whom an infor-
mation is also pending for having, while employed u an
extra clerk in the long-room and ether departments of the
Custom-house, been implicated in the transactions which
formed the eabjecbmatter of the present inquiry. Several
other whereat who knew Partridge while he was confined
in Whiteamestreet Prison upon a charge of smuggling, and
in the moteopelhan police force, in which he served for seven
or sight mistba, deposed that he was generally known by
the name of " Liekag Jack," and that, in their opinion, he
was not wadded to credence seen upon his oath.—The de.
readout woe obliged, in the absence of Mr. Chambers, Q C.,
to ceessozessims several of the witnesses ; but ulta
that lemessil gentleman, who bad been previously engaged
in 11110611. Nun, was enabled to attend and conduct the
resseindw of his client's case.—The Attorney-Omura' (with
wham were Mr. Watson, QC., and Mr. Wilde), having con.
eluded his address to the jury upon the whole case at a few
minutes before six, the Lord Chief Baron said it was then too
late to advert to the many points which required to be
noticed, sad he should, therefore, postpone his summing up
until this smening. The case was accordingly postponed.
