BOARD OF EXCISE COURT, MARCH 0.

Charles Wright, a licensed beer and spirit retailer►
of the White Swan public-house, Bunhill-row, was
charged upon an informaiion preferred against him
by the solicitor of Excise for having in his posses
sion a quantity of colouring matter and other ingre-
dients for adulterating and mixing with beer and
spirits.

There were no less than nine counts in the infor-
mation, varying the character of the offence, and,
upen each count the penalty was 2004
Mr. Douglas, a surveyor of excise, and other
excise officers, deposed to finding in the beer cellar
of the defendant's house, on the 27th of October
last, a quantity of salt and water, sugar and treacle,
used for colouring beer, and there were appearances
from a large funnel which had been recently used,
that a considerable quantity of the mixture had jn?r
before been put in a butt of beer. There were other
unknown ingredients in the snixture, and in a jag`
was found a solution of green vitriol and Copperas,.
which, upon being evaporated by heat, left a err'
tallization of that poisonous mineral. The copperas
was then produced, as well as some of the drugged
beer and the mixture.

Mr. Robert Hanbury, of the firm of Truman and
Hanbury, had tasted the beer produced, and that 4
was not in the same good state that it had been sent
by them to the defendant. There was a mixture. of
other ingredents, not malt and-hops, in it. The de-
fendant had considerably improved the business of
the house, and sold about nine butts a month.
The Commissioners, after an attentive considera-
tion of the case, mitigated the several penalties to
the sum of 1001., which they adjudged the defendant
to pay, observing, he was well off in not having to
pay the full penalties. _

William Eraser, of Brick-lane, was convicted in
:he penalty of 501. upon seven counts, charged with
laving colouring matter in his possession for adul-
.ering beer.
