An account of the revenue of Ireland in the years
1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820 respectively, has been
printed, from which we extract the following
customs. 1810. net revenue £1,531.839 13 31
1420. ditto ti 1.425.414 34 3
Excise and TAxes, !WO, net revenue—, 1.404.767 8 31

Post Office, ISIO, net revenue 770402 13 71
1820, ditto 66,730 0 7
Stamp Office, 1510, net revenue
1520, ditto
—From the above it appears that there is an in.
crease in the Excise in the latter year, but a decrease
in the other departments.

SURREY SESSIONS.

Samuel Burkin.one of the constables for the county of Surrey,
was indicted for having refused to perform his duty at the last
Peckham Fair.
Richard Witherington stated, that he is one of the constables
for the parish of Camberwell, for which parish the defendant had
acted for many years. On the night of the Peckham Fair the
constables assembled at the lied Bull, in Peckham, at about It
o'clock, the usual time at which the constables began to clear
the house; witness went with his party of men one way, and the
defendant with his party another way. On their return it was
proposed to the defendant to clear the Red Bull public house,
but before he took that step lie thought proper to ask the land-
lord whether he wished to have the house cleared. The landlord
replied, that his guests, who were about thirty in number, were
his particular friends, and that he did not we'll to have them
disturbed, particularly as they were perfectly quiet. This wish
of the landlord's the witness and the other officers did not think
quite sufficient, and did not think it necessary that they should
wait until the landlord's windows should be broken before they
could interfere. The defendot, however, held that they had no
legal authority to interfere until a breach of the peace should
have been committed. In this doctrine he was strenuously
supported by the landlord and the company. and ultimately the
officers were obliged to leave them in the full enjoyment of their
conviviality, which heated until the Sunday morning.
Mr. Andrews, in the defence, contended, that by the conduct
of the defendant in refusing to consult the taste of the Union
Hall officers, in forcibly clearing the houses which were peaceable
and quiet, lie had preserval the peace. At Camberwell, where
the Union Hull officers had the direction of the business, there
were lighting and disturbance, and this would have been the case
at Peckham had not the defendant, in the exercise of that dis-
cretion with which he was invested, prevented the stave* of the
officers being exercised upon the heads of those woo were then in
peace. The learned counsel complained that many police officers
were too often disposed to make disturbances when they were
unable to find any. Ile would, as a law> et, give the deientlunt
toe advice to attune the same line of conduct in future, in con.
salting the publicans in preference to any others, before he
ventured upon clearing houses, us lie was charged with having
done upon this occasion, and had done most properly. The
question was, whether the defendant had executed his duty pro-
perly, in abstaining front clearing the public house when they
were all peaceable aid quiet; and this question, the learned
counsel said, he had not the slightest doubt but the jury would,
by their verdict, determine in the affiimative.
Time jury immediately found the defendant Not Guilty.
