A curious seizure was made last week at
Portsea. Upon occasion of a marriage the bridegroom
gave an entertainment to his friends at the Society Hall,
and sent the wine from his own house. Soon after the
company were placed at the table two revenue officers en-
tered and seized all the liquors in the room. They had
been purchased at the Custom.hottse, but the gentleman
had neglected to take out a permit for removing them
from his own house to the place of entertainment.
AN UNPLEASANT DISCOVERY.-A few
days since a wealthy tradesman, carrying on business in
the city, and having a country residence in Surrey, found
in the bedroom of his wife a shirt-collar, which he knew
did not belong to him. He questioned her as to how
such an article could get there, but she affected to treat
the matter lightly, and endeavoured to persuade him that
it must be one of his own, or had been changed for one of
his at the wash. Her manner, however, was confused,
and such as led to a suspicion on the part of her husband
that these was something strange in the business, and he
therefore determined on sifting it the bottom. With this
view he first called on the family laundress, and asked to
see the things which his wife had sent to he washed. His
request, after some hesitation, was complied with, and on
looking them over, he to his utter surprise and consterna-
tion, found among them several dickeys, collars, stockings,
one ar two shirts, ail of which bore the initials, and some
the name at full length, of a young man holding a situa-
tion in a Public Establishment, and who was in the habit
of occasionally visiting at his house. He also examined
thejewels and trinkets belonging to his wife, and found
that many valuable articles were missing, and of which
she could give no satisfactory account. He next applied
to an experienced officer to assist him in the business.
The officer accompanied him to the lodgings of the sup-
posed Lothario, where they found him confined to his bed
ty illness. On the officer hinting the nature of the visit
he affected much indignation, and, refusing to give them
the slightest information on the subject, ordered them out
of the place. They, however, ascertained that a lady,
answering the description of the wife of the applicant,
frequently visited the suspected party, and generally re-
mained for some time with him. The lady implicated in
the unpleasant affair has six fine children living, and has,
