his refusal to grant the warrant. The affidavits in answer set
forth that the order was for the payment of 7s. a-week, that
the mother of the child had other children, and that the de-
fendant did not believe that the whole of the money he paid was
appropriated to the maintenance of the child of which he was
the putative father.
The COURT (stopping Mr. PLATT in support of the rule) ob-
served that while the order was in existence it must be en-
forced.—Rule absolute.

COURT OF EXCISE. JAN. 29.
IMPORTANT CONVICTIONS.
Messrs. Morrelle, of Piccadilly; Messrs. Sherborne and
Sams, also of Piccadilly ; and Mr. Johnson, of Regent-
street, this day appeared before the Honourable Commis-
sioners, to answer informations laid against thcm,by Excise
officers, for having retailed from their establishments foreign
brandy, and various descriptions of liqueurs, being wholesale
dealers.
The penalty sueed for by Mr. Mayow, the Crown Solicitor,
against earl] defendant was 50/.
It appeared from the evidence of the officers that the two
first firms were in an extensive way of buSiness as Italian and
liqueur merchants, and that Mr. Johnson was a wholesale
brandy and liqueur merchant; that they (the officers) for the
purpose of laying informations against the defendants, had
gone into their warehouses, and had purchased a single bottle
at each house.
The defendants allege.] that as their business in no way in-
terfered with the licenser] retailers in spirits, the Excise had
hitherto tolerated their selling single bottles of liqueurs, upon
which they paid heavy Customs' duty, and if they were pre-
vented from carrying on their business as usual, that depart-
ment of the revenue must suffer greatly, and the trade in fo-
reign liqueurs would totally be put an end to.
The CHAIRMAN having consulted with his brother Commis-
sioners, said that the Court were of opinion that an alteration
of the law in favour of this class of dealers in foreign liqueurs
was very desirable, but all that the Commissioners could do
at present was to reduce the penalty fiorn 50/. to 31. in each
case. _ . . .

The penalties were immediately paid, and Mr. Johnson in-
timated that it was the intention of the trade to represent to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer the peculiar hardships to
which they were subjected by the new course adopted in the
Excise department.

EXCHEQUER COURT-YESTERDAY

THE CANADIAN PRISONERS.
(From our Second Edition of last night.)

At the conclusion of Sir F. Pollock's speech, shortly after four o'clock,
Mr. Wightman rose to address the Court upon the same side, but he
was interrupted by
Lord ABINGER, who said, as they would be obliged to hear the gen-

tlemen who app,ared for the prisoners, in reply, it would be impossible
to get through with the arguments this term. However desirable
it might be to 1 ave the case decided, the further hearing must
he postponed till next term. It would not make much difference, as
it was unlikely that the Court would have given judgment during the
present term.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then said Mr. Batchelor was heartily tired

of the prisoners, and as Governor of Newgate and the Sheriff of
London had declared they would not again be taken in at Newgatoy it
became desirable that they should in the meantime be put into some
other custody. He pledged himself that they would not We removed
from the jurisdiction of the Court.

Lord An►NGER said the Court had no power to make any order upon
he subject.

It was at length arranged that they should be removed to the Peni.
tentiary on the order of the Government.

POLICE INTELLI GENCE.

TOWN-HALL

Yesterday, the Rev. Mr. Abdy, the minister of St. John's
Southwark, appeared before Sir JOHN KEY, Bart., to answer
the complaint of Mrs. Deamer, a respectable-lopking female,
for an assault, committed under the following rather singular
circumstances

Mrs. Deatner, who resides at No. 105, Tooley-street, said,
" My husband is a neAsman and tobacconist, and, about a
quarter past four o'clock on last Sunday afternoon, the Rev.
defendant came into our shop, and designated me as a wretched
profaner of the Sabbath, and said that I should not sell any
newspapers."
Sir JOHN KEY—You have no right to sell newspapers on
the Sunday.
Mrs. Deanwr—lf we do not sell the Sunday newspapers on

. •
the same day they are of no use to us ; besides, every shop in
the parish of St. Thomas is kept open on Sunday.
Sir JOHN KE7—You are not justified in serving during the
hours of Divine service.

Mr. Dearro•—We must sell our Sundav newspapers, other-
wise they are of no use to us. The Rev. -Defendant came into
the shop, and hallooed in a most abrupt manner to me, and
at the same time he swept all the newspapers off the counter,
and then attempted to shut the door, and in the course of my
preventing him, he hurt my shoulder.
Sir JOHN KEY—In resisting his shutting the door your
shoulder was hurt?

Mrs. Deamer—Yes ; I do not deny resisting his attempt
to close my door. lam living in St. John's, and Mr. Abdy
belongs to St. Glare's, and there is no afternoon service in the
parish in which my husband is living:
Sir Jolts KEY—According to your own showing, Ho not see
any case of assault, for you say your shoulder was hurt in en-
deavouring to prevent the door being closed. I will hear what
the defendant has to say.
The Rev. Mr. Abdy—On the day in question I saw the
shop of the complainant open, and, to prevent the slightest
charge of being actuated by any feeling of ill will, I wt nt
previously to another on the opposite side, and desired the per-
sons belonging to it to close. I then crossed over to this per-
son's shop, but, on the honour of a gentleman and on the word
of a Clergyman, I never committed an assault, neither did I
sweep away the papers from the counter ; but I felt, as all true
Christians must feel, the deplorable manner in which the Sab-
bath -day is desecrated.
Mrs. Deamer—The Rev. Gentleman, after he had halloed

to me to close the shop, rushed out and ran away.
The Rev. Mr. Abdy— I can assure you, Sir John, that such
was not the fact ; it would b 3 highly indecorous for a clergy-
man to be seen running ; that I was in a hurry I am ready to
admit, and on leaving the shop I certainly walked away very
fast; and, unless my eyes deceived me very much, there were
two females in the shop at the time 1 entered, to whom I com-
plained of the desecration of the Sabbath. I can also assure
you that I did not touch one of the papers • at the same time
it is probable I may have, by chance, knocked down a placard
hanging at the door. After leaving the shop I had occasion
to proceed to the burying.ground, and I there saw a police-
constable, whom I desired to go and take notice of what was
going on in the shop.

- 111;s. Deamer —There was, I can assure you, not one person
in the shop excepting myself ; my husband was asleep by the
side of the fire.
Ultimately the summons was dismissed.
