On the Lord filayor's observing that this was a very dark
and shameful ease, the Custont•iwum officers said, that they
looped that his Lordsliiii did not impute any blanu• to them ;
they had only fulfilled their duty in acting upon the inform:4
lion which they had reveiend. The full penalty was three
times the vaine of the property seized, and amounted to 271.,
but they prayed his Loodship to mitigate it to one half llst:
stint, which his Lorilslti.i immediately did, aud which a friend
of Inman as iminediatel, paid.
We regret that we did not hear the name of the person
who laid the information. It was s till. h..tvus.er, that IL.'
iitforiner had laid this information under an eNpress promise
from Mr. Lee that not a syllable of this transaction slwahl
