COURT ()I. EXCV,E, JULY 20.
IMPORTANT TO LICENSED ♦ICTUALLERS.
ILLEGAL COLoURINO. . .

A respectable Licensed Victualler %vas charged upon
information with hating had in his custody a quantity
of colouring, against ti,e statute, by which he incurred
a penalty of 2001.
The defendant pleaded Not Guilty.
William Fitchew, an officer of the Excise, proved
having found a gallon bottle of colouring in the beer
cellar of the defendant. The bottle, which the witness
produced at the time of the seizure, contained neatly
three quarts.
Mr. Newton, an Excise General, examined the liquid
in the bottle, and declared it to be common colouring,
•uch as had been formerly in frequent use amongst brew-
ers to colour ale, porter, Sce. It was made of burnt
sugar only, without any adliixture of malt and hops.
The defendant, in hi..; defence, pleaded that he had
the colouring in his possession solely for the purpose of
colaornrp, brandy, which was allowed by the law, and
not for the purpose of using it in porter, which he was
aware would have been illegal.
lie called a person who stated, that he was servant to
the defendant, with whom he had lived ten years. He
was in the habit of superintending his master's cellars,
and could swear positively, that the bottle produced was
the first and only bottle of colouring which his master
had hid in hi, possession lor tile last three years; and
that it had only been used for colouring spirittF, and not
fur adulterating porter. Ile had only used about one

plat.
James Rymer, an officer of Excise, deposed, that he
had surveyed the business of the defendant for a consi-
derable time, and that in Excise matters his character
lot regularity stood eery high.
The Court pronounced judgment against the defend-
ant, hut under the peculiar circiiitistatices of the case,
initigaied the penalty from .2001. to ts!us.
In ant wet. to a question Trout the defendant, Alr.
said, that publicans most get their spirits from
the ilktillers highly coloured, in older make !heat to
be diluted to a 1 riditsble strength, %nitwit •rendering
16 adifiiion of the water too apparent by the pale co-
• luur.

Monday, a gentleman, s‘ho stated that he resided
many years at l'entonvillc, came before the Magis-
trates iu llattun-garden, and gave the following
. information :—that between ten and eleven o'clock
the night preceding, he was attacked in Spa-fields
by Mur men, who knocked him down, and robbed
him of .20s. and some other articles he had in his
pockets, which they cut open with a knife ; and
after beating him unmercifully, one of them st-
y:rapt( d to cut his throat, which he prevented by
putting up his hand, which was cut across ; the
sisassin then gave him a couple of stabs, and left
him for dead ; he gave a good description of the
villains, and said he should know them again,
Tuesday night, as a gentleman going towards his
resides:ce near Vauxhall, was walking across the
road (late a field) at the back of Lambeth-walk,
leading towards Eat-street, he was surrounded by
fivr, or six desperate fellows, who threw hint down,
and covered his head and E.ce with a piece of carpet
or rug, and rifled his pockets of his watch and seals,
and also of his pAl.et-book, containing, 71. in notes,
ar.
