BOW-STREET.
HOW TO WAKE CHEAP HOU Alll3

Mr. Jawaiffe, of 19, Buckingham-street, Adelphi, and 2,
Peterstreet, Southwark•bridge-road, appeared to a sum-
mons, at the instance of the excise authorities, charging
him with having sold to a publican a quantity of treacle
or saccharine matter to be used in the adulteration of beer.
As the defendant pleaded guilty, the facts were not gone
iota, but Mr. Dwelly mentioned that the defendant, who
is a manufacturer of vinegar and cordials, had for some
time been suspected of 'applying adulterating matter to
publicans. A watch had been set upon him, and he had
been deteeted in the act. Mr. Dwelly produced a circular
issued by the defendant and his brother, "(Carla and
George Jousiffe, importers of Danttio spruce, cordial
compounders, and maker" of liquid refined sugar
and spirit colouring." Several of the articles men-
tioned in the circular seemed to be designed
for the adulteration of spirits. One of the items was
" London Cream," which was stated to be " highly
appreciated by all who have tried it, being flavoured with
the finest juaiper berries and other ingredients used by
distillers. To 190 gallons of gin, 17 or 22 U.P., add four
gallons of London cream. Use no sugar. It will allow of
six or seven additional gallons of liquor, and be superior
to any gin made in the ordinary way." (The word
"liquor, "as used in the trade, means water.) "In lashing np
gin or cordials the liquor should be boiled and used cold."
" Concentrated essence of pine.—To 50 gallons of rum add
two gallons of ramose, or according to the quantity of
liquor used." "Concentrated eseenee of pine No.
is the same se No. 1, but contains an artificial hest, which
allows an extra quantity of liquor." " Cheap rum.—To
fire gallons of proof rum add one gallon of liquor and one
quart of conceutrated essence of pine No. 2." " Cheap gin.
—To ten gallons of 22 U.P. gin, instead of sugar nee two
quarts of the cream and three gallons of liquor," Sm.
The defendant said that the material which he sold to
the publican in question, a Mr. Moore, was nothing but
pare saccharine matter. _ _

The learnoTlinsi-is—tr;te said it was an unlawful trade
altogether and of that the defendant must have been per.
freely well aware.

The defendsTit;aid all publicans used similar ingredients
and always would do so ; and if persons in his trade did
sot take it round to them they would buy it of the grocers.
Yr. Dwell, said the grocers did not sell this sort of sac-
charine matter, and the publicans did not use ordinary
sugar. If they could get nothing cheaper than the sugar
supplied by grocery it would not pay to adulterate.
Defendant said at all events he should not sell it any
more.

The Magirtrate inquired if this waa Mr. Jou/rifles that
offence.

Ma/welly said it was the first time he had been de-
tected.

He wee fined in the mitigated peoalty of 125/., being
enefourtli of the full penalty of 500{.
