A great sensation had been caused at Oporto by
the discovery of extensive frauds in the wine trade.
It appears that mixtures to represent port wine are
manufactured in England and Hamburg, and sent
out in ships to Oporto, when by means of falsifiedl
certificates the mixtures are imported into England I
as port wine. About three thousand pipes of these
Warms sea now in London. Ten pipes of the
mislanas have been seized by the customs at Oporto
as board a ship from England. The captain declared
he had the pipes on board merely to give the wine
the benefit of a sea voyage. The mixture has been
tested, and found to be a composition of bad alcohol,
molasses, and the essence of tar. The Portuguese
authorities refuse to give up the ten pipes. There
can be no doubt but that they would have been im-
ported into England and *old as the veritable pro-
duction of the Douro shipped at Oporto.
