KIRKIPATRICK-V. WELDE.

This appeared to hat;re been a matter of a nature
Calculdted to arrest the attention, of. the Manufac-
turers of this Country, in. .a competition -of. skill
with those of England; also, to :involve A right
'goUnded on the Act of Union, respeding-,Duties on
certain classes of the Cotton and Woollen Manu-
factures.

The Defendant, Mr..Welde, Itas well-known oc-
cupations at the Custom-house, as Deputy Customer
and Deputy Coilea& of the Port Of Dublin. The
Plaintiff, an eminent Wholesale Woollen Merchant,
did importwon the 14th of November, 1805, a quan-
tity of goods in .his line, denominated swansdown,
toilinets, and Windsor cords. The two former were
a compositiOn of 'Cotton and wool, and the. latter al-
ledged to be so, though an invention since
.the.
Union, and consequently ,by the Ad of Union,- as
set forth in the Plaintiff's declaration, entitled to
free titry, which the Defendant refused, claiming
A 'duty of .1 0 per cent. ad valorem on all these ,ar-
ticlct, though the Act was given -up on the Regnla-.
tions 'entered into at the period of the Union. Pre--
vious to the Union it was set forth, that toilinets
being a 'mixed matter, did pay the established duty
of 10 per cent. : as to Windsor cordohe Plaintiff
stated, that it was merely an old species of tnanufac,
t.ure, under a new name, and was critically no more.'
than what cordelains were before, -and became Con-
sequently exempt from the duty, and unequivocally
entitled to free entry The Defendant, however,
would not admit them, Several Witnesses were
adduced, and particularly a Yorkshire lad, who pro-
fessed himself a Cloth-dresser. He merely proved,
that he cut off patterns 'for sdveral places; which
were produced'; these patterns he identified, but
could not -ascertain whether they were mixed goods
or not._ He never. heard. of the Union between,
Great Britain and Ireland : he could not as-certain
Whether the imPortation'of English goods wooly be
injurious to the Irish Manufacture, though of eqt:al
excellence, or' nott. On being asked whether he
knew there were puddings in Yorkshire, or the con-
trary I He licked his_ lipS,. grinned, and answered
in the affirmative:-`Witnesses were auduced to prove
the practice of paying unv for goons sicniiar to those
alluded to.

Mr. Sheriff Blacker was examined as to, the ar-
ticles of •swinisdOwn and toilinets, which he had
often imported previous to the Union—Windsor
cord he had not : he believed that the duties on the
two former articles were of vast importance to the
Revenue, as they were in great demand in this
Country. lie would not think it
_politic to sup-
press the /importation of British goods inutile-
diately.
Mr. GRADY, in the defence, expatiated on the
testimony of a Mr. Weatherall, who said,- that ex-
a6ling, the duty of 10 per cent. faVoured the manu-
- faecurers of- this Co.untry considerably ; as, by ad-.
Mitting the articles dUty free, the Country would
be inundated with British goods.
The Learned JUDG,E, in his charge, informed the
Jury, that they had nothing to do with the policy.
of the Legislature, as to the enacting of statutes or
accommodations at the Union--their obje& was
to-ascertain whether or not any stratagem had been
used .to evade the existing duties, and-- find' 'aci-
cordinglj. •
• The Jury retired, and, after some time, found a
Verdi& for the Plaintiff.

DARING ROBBERY.—Last Wednesday night, about.
a quarter past ten, the long-coach which conveys
nass‘mgers from the Mail-coach -Office, Dawson-
street, Dublin, to, the Packets, at the Pigeon House,
was stopped by ten or more persons, armed with.
.blunderbusses, pistols, and swords, at the other
side of the Canal Bridge, near a lime kiln at the
Low Ground, .who robbed all the passengers, about
seven 'or eight. The villains obliged the passengers
to come frum the carriage, and rifled them as they
came out, commanding them to turn their faces to a
wall that was near, immediately after plundering
them;that they should not have, an opportunity of
observing their persons. Lord Cahir and Mr. Geo.
Latouche were two of the passengers. From his
Lordship they took about 4001. and, it is said, 70
guineas, from Mr. Latouche. They robbed. the
other passengers of money, and also carried off some
light paCkages from them.. A small box, which
contained some of their articles, was found next
du at the Comm Ons of Kilmainham, to which plaice
it Is supposed they retired after the robbery, .by go-
ing up the Circular Road, to divide the_ spoil. •
