THE' AT.III IL•. PLUNDER.—WiIIiam Nor, Anthony
Smith,..Joseph Cross, and William Prescott, -Were;
h-eught up on • is charge of stealing five caSks' of 0 din
oil, the property of Messrs.- Hatton and Cookson, and in
addition, Prescott, who is a soap maker. at Doug a,,
Isle oflUin, was charged with .having received the oir,-
knowing it to have been stolen. There were several
other charto against the prisoners, as will. be seen by
the following details :—The case was investigated on
two former, days, and the ;particulars have already
appeared; but the following facts were proved in
addition.—Mr..Bluck defended 'all the prisoners.
M•Gewan. the Deputy Town-clerk, at the iostanea,
of Mr. Clough, appeared to sustain the pros2cution;
but Mr. Maxwell iefused to allow the gentlemaa to pre-"
teed', as he sail the case was an ordinary one, and,-he
would not go out of the usual course. The case was then
proceeded with in the usual way. The first witness Was
Captain Power, who said I am overlooker for Messrs.'
HaVon and Cookson, and know some of the prisoners.
-On Saturday, the 28:11 of line, I landed fifty tons of
palm oil from the Dauntless. I have seen in possessiotl
of the police five casks that were part of the cargo, I,
had Noys and Smith engaged at the ship Dautitlen, but I
discharged Noys on Monday at noon. There were no
marks on the casks, bit the coopers generally put or'.
private marks, so that they know thorn. To Mr. Block :
I should never have missed any casks but for the ;infirm.
I did not sell any of the casks. We never can know the
exact number of casks on 'board a ship in the African
trade ;.1 know the casks are our property. I know of
no other casks like them, but It is possib'e there were
other ships -discharging oil near our vessel at the time:,
They w: re not weighed at the George B iker,
carter, stated that Noys engaged-him about three o'clock
in the day, and sent him to the King's dock to take five
casks of palm oil to the Isle of Man boat ; he met a man
named Lloyd on the way, and wi:nessgave him the float
to go for th' casks. To Mr. Block : I hal nothing 'at
all to do with it, and knew nothing about the matter..
except by carting the oil back from the dock to the
police office. John Lloyd, a cart ow:le-. said he met
the last witnesf,, who sent him to the King's dock for
five casks of palm oil. .1-Te went, and the prisoner Smith.

Prisoners were 'at work discharging 'palm oil from the
ship Lydia and he went to the Isle of Man, where he
fonnrl four of that ship's casks of oil. Nuys was the mad
employed by witness, and lie saw Cross s anding about.
Oodfivy Cox, landing and delivery clerk, in the employ
of Messrs. Stewart anti Douglas, nroved the identity of
the casks, and said Noys and Smith were working at the
ship Lydia. landing the oil, and he saw Cross there
also. Witness did not miss the oil, as it had not
passed thrwigh-the scale. In reply to Mr. Black, the
witness said he was told that Cross had stolen palm oil
before, and this caused him to hive a suspicion of him.
Mr. H. Anthony,.agent for Messrs. Stewart an? Douglas,
proved that he saw the marks put on the casks itt Africa,
and William Fleming, a cooper, proved that Le put.. on

never sold any oil to any one in the Isle of Man. Robert
Robertson, a cooper, proved the prisoner Cross's hand-
writing to some documents in _reference to the oil. In-
spector Kehoe gave a long history of his going to the
Isle of. Man, ant of -a conversa'ion which he bad With
Prescott, who gave a very inconsistent account of how
he got the oil from Cross, who • went by the mime of
Smithson. Several other wiin-sscs were examined, and
then Mr. Block asked his worship's opini:tn whether-
there was any cri•lenee, in the preseHt case, as regardel
Nuys Qlll Smith ? anti his worship sail he al not think
there was any case against them, so far as the oil of
Messrs. S' wart -and Doughs. The prisoners were dis-
charged on that, but eotwnitted on the other charge; and
Cross and Prescott fully committed on the second
charge. There was a third charge preferred against the
prisoners, for stea'ing a quantity of palm oil the Property
