PLVNDKII Ile THE LONDON DOCKS BY OFFICEIIB OP
Crarome.—C. J. Preece, J. T. Evans, and T. Lye, three
men employed as extra weighers of customs, were brought
up on remand, charged with stealing various quantities of
tobacco, from the tobacco warehouse of the London Docks.
The facts were briefly these :—The authorities at the decks
had the prisoners narrowly watched, and on Monday, the
4th kat , they were seen consecutively to enter the house of
a person rained Inch, No. 3. Christian-street, St.George's-in-
the-east. Preece was the first who entered, when he was
instantly arrested, and 6 lbs. of leaf tobacco was fouud upon
him, upon which he was immediately conveyed away.
Shortly after the prisoner Evans entered, and 6 Its. 10 oz. of
leaf tobacco was found on Cis rerson. After be was
oosveyed to the station-house Lye. not knowing what had
occurred, came to the place, when 12 ounces of leaf tobacco
and two or three cigars were found upon him. These three
being in custody, Inch, who subsequently came in, was given
in charge as a receiver of tobacco knowing it to have been
stolen,. some leaf tobacco corresponding with that found on
the prisoners being discovered in a locker at his house.
When he was brought up on remand on Wednesday last Mr.
Clarkson said that he was to state, oa the part of the dock
authorities, that there would be no objection to admit him
to bail, it being intimated by his solicitor, Mr. Pelham, that
he was disposed to assist in bringing the more guilty parties
—namely, thaw who were placed in situations of trust, to
punishment.
When the parties were brought up again yesterday, Inch
was the principal witness against them. He said that,
about three months since, he kept a beerhouse in Retail-
highway, bat was at present proprietor of a lodging hoax
for seam= at No. 3, Christian-street. About three months
since Preece mentioned to him that there was a good deal of
damaged tobacco at the Queen's warehouse, which was to be
burned in the kiln, but that witness could have some of it at
2s. per lb., to which he unfortunately agreed, Preece telling
him that wu the price he got from Mr. Howes, of Rosemary-
lane. Evans and Lye came to him afterwards, and said
they would tell the others to come to him. He purchased
from Lye about two or three times, from Evans about
20 time', and from Preece more frequently. In all, he
bought about 1 cwt. from the three. He sold half
which he purchased to Mr. Howes, and the other half to a
Jcw named Leo, in Petticoat lane. When questioned as to
the price at which he sold it, whether he kept auy account,
Or whether anything was owing to him on account of the
tobacco by Howes or Leo, the witness became very evasive
and cautious in his replies.
r Mr. Yardley said that from the evidence before him he
should commit the prisoners for trial.
F. Smith, IV. Hart, 11r. Clarke, J. King, J. Hubbard,
and T. Harris, also extra customs 'weighers, were then
charged with being engaged in a similar system of plunder.
and some evidence having been heard, they were remanded.
