an expenditure of such trifling extent, 111:1111 to examine

Sir IL MARTIN, in reply to the expeure of the ships,
observed. that the principle acted ow Was to keep a large

111 this principle was considered as the most efficient mode
of protecting our Col .odes ies and C .rce.
Sir I. COFFIN maintained that the bossiness of the
Navy was alloissisplerril in the must economical way.
Mr. TIERNEY did nut Angus- nom Is (sum these debates
in Committees; however, as an Hun. Member (Sir J.
Yorke) had made all opposition speech, it was to be hoped
he would give opposition votes. (A laugh.)—He spoke of
the hardship of •elatives of Officers in the Navy. and
mentioned the case of sister* of six Officers who had died
in the country's service. Miiil had applied in vain. The
case was co peculiar, that he applied to the Chancellor tit

Mr. Brougham rose in opposition to this rule. The

Mr. Justice Bayley wished to know whether the
Livery were to proceed to those discussions beige the
election took place, or after it was over.
Mr. B gh.isis did hot find that that point had been
decided. He thee) contended that the Livery might

claiming any vindictive feelings on the part of the pre-
sectiturs, whose object vela metely to try the right, wheat:
he was stopped by an intimation that their Lordships
had agreed upon the subject.
The Lord Chief Justice said. that upon the point of

FRIDAY. JUNE. 9.
William Coates, residing in Mary Anne Street, St.
George's iii the E:10. was charged on itiformanon with
'embus a spurious liquid, prohibited by law, for the
purpnie of adulterating beer, and defrauding the reve-
nue, frir which offence he had forfeited the penally of
aet..oo. ' _

I lie Aefendaat did not attend, and judgment went by
default.
Mr. Richard Berry (who was the cause of detecting
the infamous 'ruffle of a similar nature, which was tried
before the Commissioners last week) stated, that he was
fenuerly the proprietor of the Quee►►'s Head, public-
house, in Queen Street, Cheals►de. In the month of
October last. the defendant called at his house, and the
conversation arose respecting the colouring of beer ;
defesidantaaid he was in the habit of snaking a liquid
for the puriinse of colouring, and the price was ss. 4d.
per gallon. Witness agreed to have a gallon of the com-
pound. and the defendant went away. Mr. Berry in-
stantly gate information to the Excise. and an officer
encoded at his house on the Ist of October, the day
the defendant wit to bring the deleterious compound.
The defendant arrived about I I o'clock. and delivered
the mixture. together with the directions how it was to
be used, and a bill of parcels. The directions were as
follows•:—" First. take from the butt ten gallons of
beer; after you have• drawn your beer, take nine Fil-
ipino( water. to which add ►he gallon of colouring, and
then put the water and compound into the butt; pot •
little finings in afterwards, and stir it round well."—
The officer, immediately on the liquor being delivered
to witness seized it.

The stuff was here produced ; it was a very dark
coloured mixture, of an extreme nauseous flavour, and
of a frothy nature.
Thy compolind was handed for inspection to Mr. J.
Martineau, the brewer, who tasted it, and Bare it as
his opinion that it consisted of burnt sugar and other
deleterious ingredients, but what he could not say ; he
