TiIAiIIES.

Yesterday, William Edwards, a labourer, visa
brought up on remand, before Mr. Ingham, charged
on a Custom-house information with carrying and
conveying 10 pints and a quarter of rum, the duty on
the same not having been first paid and secured, by
which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. He ear-
neatly pleaded not guilty to the information, and said
he was an innocent man.

It appeared that on Tuesday afternoon the prisoner
was met by a police-constable named Barnes, No. BS,
11, in Church-lane, Whitechapel, and suspecting that
he had contraband property in his possession be
stopped him, and asked him what he had under his
coat, to which he replied nothing. Barnes took from
him a bundle, consisting of a handkerchief, in whiob
were two bladders containing rum. Before they'
were opened the prisoner said he did not know what
they contained. The skins were delivered to Waver
a custom-house officer, who seized them in due for ca
on the part of the Crown. They contained 1 gallon
and .5 16:hs of a gallon of rum, 23 under proof.
The prisoner, in defence, said a gentleman with is
carpet bag in his hand, met him in Whitechapel, and
asked him if he was out of employment, and on l fig
replying in the affirmative, gave him the handerch ief
containing the skins, and said he was to carry the
bundle to Spitalfields, where he promised to meet bins
and give him a shilling for the job.
Mr. INGHAM—Who is this gentleman ? Pri goner
—I don't know. I never saw him before.
Mr. INGRAM thought the case might have been
made the subject of a summary proceeding, without
an information.
Mr. Cornell said the quantity of rum cr real spirit
had been considerably reduced by its being so couch
under proof. It was valued, with the duty, a t 15s.
per gallon.

Mr. INGHAM fined the prisoner iIOOL, and, iti de-
fault of payment, committed him to prison for
six months. He recommended him to mernori slims
the Board of Customs for a mitigation of put iish-
ment.
