Tea ATTORNAT
CRADLES HINNY KILDT.—YZAIIDS ON TNII KRVANVI
the Attanq•Oesaal, Mr. Wows, Q.O , dad Mr. J.
Wilde, were counsel for the crown ; lir. Barstow repro.
seated Charles H. Kilby ; and the older defandant was no-
&fended.

This was an information at the instance of this inland
rerun drumbeat, to recover 8001. penalties for
using unentered premier fee the maakiesture of
malt, and for having concealed and removed large
quantities of malt with intent to evade the payment of duty.
lb* defendants were brothers. The first mentioned, who
was represented u a needy man with a large family, carried
on the business of a brewer and manatee at Burlington Quay,
between Scarborough and Hull, and the other was a oom.
menial traveller is easy sin ametaare. They were joist
lessees of the premises where the practices charged is the
information were carried on, but John was the recognised
manager of the business and received 601. a year from his
brother for his eerier. In addition to which his eon was
paid 10s. a week. The premises consisted of places for making
malt and brewing beer. la the isnentered rooms there were
two large vessels or tuns suspended, part above the ceding
and put below, so as to communicate with the entered pre-
mises. La the month of January last, corn was found
steeped, some of which was live days old, part nine days,
and mar 13 days, without any notice; and no lees than 880
bushels were illegally nude into malt. For the defendant,
Charles, it was submitted that to bad taken an lowers in
the business merely because he hod lent his brother sums of
money to carry it en, but that he had no guilty knowledge
of, or participation in, the frauds, and that they wars com-
mitted by his brother alone.
The Lord Chief Baron summing up, said the question for
the jury was what share the defendant Chula lad in the
transaction. It seemed to have been undisputed, that so far
as t►e other defendant was concerned, the most flagrant
breathes of the revenue laws had been committed for a very
esniderable period. It we of importance that sunk prac-
tices should be punished, cot only for the protection of the
revenue, but of the fair trader, who would be very soon
driven out of the market altogether if he had to compete
with persons capable of committing offences of this description.
One of the witnesses proved that Charles knew of the commis-
sion:of those frauds, and participated in the large profits
that must have been realised by them, and another witness
was produced to prove that he did not. In point of law, a
preen concerned in a briars of this sort who suffered his
servants to commit frauds upon the revenue was responsible,
even though he did not actually know of them, bat the
learned counsel for the crown said fairly enough that they
would not sok for a verdict against Charles, unites the jury
were convinced upon the evidence that he bad participated
in and personally knew of them. The question was, therefore,
entirely for their consideration.
The jury at once returned a general verdict fa the crown
against both the defendants.
The court then proceeded with the will of a common jury
cases of no public interest.

.dials, which, having so recently appeared when the
primers were examined at the police Court, only requires
the mein points to be recapitulated.
James Bottonsley, • servant out of place, corroborated the
teemed oulasers statement as to the particulate of what
took place at the pablit.house. The Lint he know el Cusp.
bell was that he was to get him • situation u a servant;
and Walatill having been out of service some time, had no
character, and Campbell proposed to give him • false one,
for which he was to receive 21., IL Be. of which was paid to
him. Not being able to get kin money back, they wished
him to mast them in the proposed scheme.
Cron-examined—l never said I would swear anything for

said, " Onl let me get the tin, and I'll get names

daa4 as his partner.
George Morris proved having am 8 inlay and Wright

It was then proved that the °See in Beeler Arcade had

paid a 6i. depotit, and whoa lte booms eliunerous to bare
it bock, they said they must rob maw coo elw to pay him.
Alfred Savage, eaottu-r of the Amiss, proved the payment
of Li., on account to Wright sad Stoaley, in Wellington-
, street.

John Macdonald, having paid 101. on amount at Mies-
gatemtmet to Campbell, and finding that be could not get
any employment, wished to have his money back, when
Campbell hems* insolent, and said that, as witness had left
before his time, he should have the *dries of the legal es-
timate if the firm before he should return the amount,
which was never repaid.
Charles Gage, a draper, said that, seeing an advertisement,
he went early in March to Kingsgatemtreet, where he saw
Sparks and Stanley, who said they must have 101. He went
down to Dorsett sod got the money from his friends ; and
all the wages he got was 16s.
Heber Loter, having deposited 101., was dulyengegml as
clerk to the firm in Kingrgatestreet, Sparks acting as legal
adviser to the firm ; as soon as the agreement was stgned and
he was to enter on his duties, they gave him two days' holi-
day to go to Greenwich fair. (Lenehter.) AU I got for my

reliable thing M the place was a pewter pot.
Crosammsained—l made • disturbance, Stanley gave me
in custody ; I made a charge of conspiracy, but Mr. Hall
mid an individual memo would not sustain the charge.
Mr. Parry *aid that the CMS were so flagrant that, on the
part of Wright, he should withdraw from the charge, and
Let him plead guilty.
The payment of two more sumo, of 101. and WI., were
then proved, and also that the prisoner had gone by various
aliases, and that when their victims became clamorous the
pirties would dodge about from one office to somber, and a
carpenter, who had filed the place, having call :d upon
Wright fur some money, said he requested him to step aside,
as he was going to nail a Nog customer, and would pay
bias.

Sergeant Thompson said he took Campbell and Stanley
at 10, Blandrord-street, D inehrquare, where they h.d just
commeneed operations, under the name of Harvey, Loan and

immediately found them Guilty.
Mr. Parnell said that the frauds proved this day were but
a few of the clearest picked from the mass.

a knew who has for nearly 20 years been carrying on the
same game, and who kept an office at Charing-cross, and
has been before convicted, was indicted with James for
defrauding William Davis of 101.
Wright pleaded guilty, and the jury convicted James.
Mr. Parnell raid James had obtained two sums of 101. in
one day by the same practices.
The 'learned Jade*, in passing sentence, commented upon
the grew nature of the charges, 'and sentenced Wright the
elder, James, Campbell, and Stanley, to 18 months' impri-
sonment and hard labour; but considering that Sparks had
not taken any money, and Wright had acted under the
guidance of a bad lather, the sentence on them would be 12
months'.

Tote few oases tried in the New Conn before the Common
Serjeent were v..id of ioterest; the only one of importance
removed from this court to that was that of Bailey and
Lawlor, for alleged skittle slurping, which stands over till
