Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates.
EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be prcpertioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may Justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

S, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 250/.—making
together 700/., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1149, and
tli:e 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9131.25. 6d.:
of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 6s.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0411., upon which 3201. 35.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. Gd. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
741/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,991/. 15s. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,183/. I Is. 104. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired is youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life, are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

considerable mass of bills, 2,009/. or 3,000/. in Amount,
which he had handed over to his friends, as they ap-
peared to the Court to be, while these transactions
ware utterly unnoticed in the schedule. In the
special balance-sheet, which went back to May or
June, he put down, to show his mesas of livelihood,
that he had received from Mr. David Leopold Lewis
a sum of 2.101, but upon his own notes and bills
Lewis was entered as a creditor "for money borrowed
and advanced by him to me on sundry bills of ex-
change, the particulars of which I cannot set forth.
He also holds my promissory notes." Not a name
of any of the parties to these bills-'was given, and
therefore he (Mr. Commissioner Law) thought it not
unreasonable to know something of these dealing,
and accordingly required the particulars. Mr. Lewis
attended and produced an account, which both parties
swore to as being the whole account between them.
This account was intelligible enough, and contained
four bills for 150/., 200/., 601., and 25/. respectively.
Something then happened to throw a doubt upon the
completeness of that account by a party who claimed
to oppose, and who said that Lewis had got a bill of
his, upon which Lewis immediately offered to return
it within 24 hours, and the case stood over. On the
next occasion, however, the bill had not been returned,
and Mr. Lewis said he had changed his mind. That,
of course, called attention, to the imperfections in the
account furnished, which was sworn to by both as a
complete account, while the clergyman's bill was not
i❑ it at all. Upon that, Mr. Lewis explained, after
making a speech in vindication of his unblemished in-
tegrity, that he could not afford to give it up, and that
if he gave up all such bills he woubi lose 2,0001. That
declaration of course threw overboard the account
which both had sworn to, and time was given to the
insolvent to make a better account. The Court re-
quired an account of all the bills handed to Lewis and
to :his father, Lewis Levi, which list had now been
furnished—whether perfect or not of course was not
known. The list referred to transactions chiefly oc-
curring since the commencement of the special
balance-sheet, important in character and heavy in
amount, and formed a new history of the insolvent's
dealings, which required a good deal of consideration.
He did not wish hastily to conclude this case, and
would leave the insolvent to say whether he preferred
taking the judgment at once, or a postponement, to
allow the Court to look through the evidence.
The insolvent hoped his Honour would adjudicate
at once.

This insolvent, it may be remembered, described
himself as an agent fur discounting bills of exchange,
and had advertised under the name of James.
Mr. Nichols on Saturday appeared, as before, for Mr.
Hustler ; Mr. Dowse represented Mr. Bowen ; and
Mr. Sargood appeared for Captain
.Campbell, Mr.
Sewell, and Mr. Robinson.
Mr. Commissioner LAw said he had required the
insolvent to give an account of what bills he had hod
of certain persons named Chapman and Beesely, and
an account had been furnished showing three bills.
Was that all ?—The insolvent said there were three
or four. Every bill to which their names were ap-
peared in the schedule..v
Mr. Commissioner LAw observed, that when the
insolvent's embarrassments began to thicken in Octo-
ber, 1849, when he was twice arrested, there was a
great quantity of bills out with Chapman's and
Beesely s names on them, as appeared from the latter
schedule ;for both those parties went through this
Court about October, 1849. From Beesely s sche-
dule it Appearo that there were twelve bills, amount-
ing in the‘whOtri .1,3611., received from ance, and
paid over to All',l3laeliburn.
The ent said they never received any bills
from him directly. He knew of no others beyond
those mentioned in the schedule.

Mr. NICHOLS said, on behalf of his client, he had
no fresh evidence to lay before the Cuurt. He was
only instructed to watch the case, and pray for judg-
ment at the proper time.
The insolvent was then examined by Mr. SAR.•
GOOD—He said, in May, 1850, he received a 601. bill
from Mr. Henry Francis Robinson, drawn by him
upon his brother, Mr. G. R. Robinson, at three
months. Ile did not agree to give 50/. for the bill,
but was to give what he got for it, minus his com-
mission, 10 per cent. He promised to get the bill
discounted, and to send the proceeds to Mr. Robinson
as soon as he got it done. He Could not say how
long he kept the bill in his possession, but he gave it
afterwards to Mr. D.L. Lewis,Tower-street, to be dis-
counted on the best terms he could get. That bill he
had never had back ; but Mr. Lewis had repeatedly
promised to return it, as he had done nothing with
it. In August a person called upon him (insolvent)
about the bill, but no terms for its restitution were
proposed. He promised to get it back if possible, and
did attempt to get it from Mr. Lewis, who had never
given any reason for keeping it, but always promised
to return it. He had never, to the best of his recol-
lection, seen any other person than the one previously
mentioned about the bill. Mr. Lewis had, as far as he
knew, the bill at this time.
Mr. Commissioner LAW—And he has never given
you any value for it. Insolvent—No, sir.
Mr. Commissioner LAW called the insolvent's at-
tention to his written statement that he had discounted
this bill with Mr. David Leopold Lewis, and had
given the proceeds to Mr. Robinson.
The insolvent answered that Mr. Lewis bad agreed
to discount it, and his impression had been that he
had done so, but now it appeared that it was not so.
Mr. Vyse stated that he was in August last butler
to the late Mr. Robinson, then M.P. fur Poole, to
whom he communicated a statement which Mr. G.
Robinson (a son) had made to him, and afterwards
called upon one Mr. James (the insolvent), whom he
informed that the father of the young gentleman had
authorised him to make some arrangement about their
bill, and to offer a sum of from 3/. to 51. upon its
being returned. The insolvent said the bill was not
then in his power, as he had applied to " parties" to
discount it, but it had not been done. Witness again
offered 51. for the return of the bill, and gave his
address at his master's residence, Chester-terrace,
when the insolvent. said he could not accept the offer
at that time. Witness had never heard from the
insolvent since, but a person had called, as witness
understood, from Mr. Lewis, of Tower street, about
the bill.
In answer to the insolvent, the witness said he
believed the bill had not been paid, and he had heard
that both the drawer and acceptor were out of the
country.
Mr. MALLESON, a solicitor, stated that in July last
he was desired by the late Mr. Robinson to call upon
the insolvent in reference to the bill bearing his son's
name, when the insolvent, in reply to a question,
stated 41aat he tbacl given no value-for the 414 but that
hw'had it not then; Witness a-ike-d what hue get
it back for, and the insolvent replied he had passed it
away, but he thought he could get it back for Si.
Witness said he was not authorised to offer 51., but
would communicate with his client, and had not since
heard any more of the matter.
Mr. Commissioner LAW, upon referring to an ac-
count furnished by Lewis of his transactions with the
insolvent, said he found the bill in question, and
Mr. Lewis had also stated that he had commenced an
action against Mr. Robinson through a Mr. Billing.
The insolvent, in reply to Mr. Sargood, said Lewis
was not present. He had not seen nor heard of him
for the last month, nor seen anybody on his behalf.
He sent repeatedly to inquire, but Lewis was not to
be found or communicated with, and he (insolvent)
had been told that he was out of the country. He
knew Mr. Billing by name, but had only seen him
once some years ago, when he sued him (insolvent)
upon a bill of exchange, which he paid. That was a
bill which a Mr. Irving had accepted for the purpose
of being discounted, which was not done. He (in-
solvent) was the drawer, and Mr. Billing sued him
upon it, and he paid and returned the bill to Mr.
Irving. The bill had been given to Lewis Levi before
his last insolvency. He did not know how often
Lewis Levi had been bankrupt and insolvent.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said there were three
schedules of Levi's in court, one in 1827, when his
debts were 15,5841., one in 1847, debts 12,9661.; and
one in 1849, debts 545/. He was bankrupt in the
years 1812, 1818, 1822, 1825, andlB27, and the debts
still unpaid were about 40,0001.
Mr. SARGOOD-1 suppose your being sued by Mr.
Billing upon that was the reason which made you so
careful not to put your name to any of these bills.

Insolvent—Quite right, sir.
Mr. Smwoon then proceeded to inquire respecting
the case of Captai❑ Campbell. The insolvent said he
knew nothing of Mr. Henry Levi. He got nothing
from Lewis Levi for Captain Campbell's bill.
Mr. SARGOOD said that Mr. Henry Levi, of
Arundel-street, had written a letter demanding pay-
ment of Mr. Sewell's acceptance, and threatening pro-
ceedings as the alternative. They had wished to
examine Mr. Billing, but had been unable to catch
him.
Mr. Commissioner Law observed that Mr. Beesely
had written for payment of this bill on one day, and
Mr. Billing wrote another demand for himself a few
days after. Hance had told them that Lewis got that
bill, and that wine and pictures were to be given for
it, but nothing came of it, and Mr. Lewis swore he
had not the least recollection of such a bill.
A clerk to the attorney said he took out a subpcena
for Mr. Billing on the Bth instant, but had not been
able to serve it. An action had been brought upon
the bill, and notice of trial.given for the last Maidstone
assizes, but in consequence of the absence of Lieute-
nant Hallows, a material witness, the trial was post-
poned until the next assizes.
The insolvent said he knew nothing of Mr. Sewell
—his transaction was with Lieutenant Hallows—and
put in a letter signed by that officer:—
"September 17, 1850.
" I hereby authorise you to negotiate and deal with
the bill of exchange dated this day, drawn by myself on,
and accepted by, Mr. John Sewell, of Wickhill-house,
Berks, i❑ such way as you may think fit; and your re-
ceipt for the produce shall be an acknowledgment in my
behalf fur the consideration for the same."

In reply to the COMMISSIONER,
The insolvent said he dictated the form of the letter
for Lieutenant Hallows to write, and he took it from
all he had dealings with. Lieutenant Hallows got no
money for the bill, for the best reason, that he (insol-
vent) got no money for it himself.
Mr. JAMES then called a clerk to the attorneys of
Mr. Bo wen to make out that gentleman's complaint.
The witness said an action had been commenced
against Mr. Bowen by Messrs. De Paul Dastis and
Dastis, upon a bill of exchange for 2501, dated
September 18th, 1850, endorsed by Lewis to them.
Pleas had been put in, and there the matter remained
at present.
Mr. Commissioner LAW asked the insolvent if he
had been aware of any bill dated as lately as the 18th
of September, 1850 ?
The insolvent replied that he received the bill in the
morning of the 18th of September, and was arrested
in the afternoon. He had never heard of Messrs.
De Paul and Co. till the last witness called upon him
a few days since.
None of the parties had any further evidence to offer.
Mr. Commissioner LAW said he had his own im-
pression upon this case. There had been a good deal
of matter arising chiefly out of the inquiry of
the Court into the imperfect state of the schedule.
He would not dispose of the case to-day, unless
it was wished by the insolvent. The way in
which the Court came to know something of the case,
instead of almost nothing, was that in the schedule
there was very little matter in the special balance-
sheet, and the insolvent had got into his hands very
shortly before his arrest, and some, as they had just

Mr. Commissioner LAW then gave his judgment.
His Honour said, on a la ter occasion Mr. Lewis had
given an account of what he had done with some of
these bills, and that little evidence was not unimport-
ant. It was but reasonable, considering, as he (the
Commissioner) considered, that all these were friendly
parties, by whom he meant Lewis Levi, Lewis, Black-
burn, Chapman, and Beesely, and perhaps some
others,—it was but reasonable that when a man came
to an insolvency which had been staring him in the
face for many months, during which time he had been
getting a cartload of bills, giving nothing for them,
that he should tell the Court what be and his confede-
derates had done with them. That had not been done
yet, and they were left to a considerable extent in the
dark as to how the insolvent and his friends had dis-
posed of this property. All they knew was that he
had given a very large portion of this property, for so
he (the Commissioner) should call it, to ?Ir. Levi,
for nothing, that person being neither a creditor
nor a debtor in the schedule, and that he had
given another and a larger portion to Mr.
Lewis, who was perhaps a creditor for a small
amount of cash, hut very small compared with
the load of bills put into his possession. Therefore it
was the fault of the insolvent and his friends that the
Court acted in a great measure in ignorance of all
the transactions, because, as he said before, they ought
to tell the Court what they had done, and they would
not. They let the Court know a little, and only a
little ; but there was sufficient to call on him (the
Commissioner) to say all these parties were confede-
rates. He had the schedule of one of these parties,
from which it, appeared that in October, 1849, when
Chapman and Beesely were going through this court,
there was one of the witnesses called here the other
day, Mr. Blackburn, entered as a creditor upon 12
bills, amounting to 1,3611., which Mr. Chapmam,
who now called himself an agent for Mr. Levi, stated
he received from Hance, who was the endorser of
some and the drawer of others, all of whieh wete
passed to Mr. Blackburn. What 140 become of them ?
here were but three survivineilow. Insolvent—
There are four.

Mr. Commissioner LAW—Be it so. What had
become of the others had not been told. The non-
payment of that large sum had produced nothing
uncomfortable between Mr. Blackburn and his imme-
diate endorsers, Chapman and Beesely, nor with the
prior endorser, Hance. Such was the state of the case at
that time. In the schedule there were a few
transactions iu 1848, and one or two in 1847,
of the same character as those which had
been laid More the Court, but the parties
had slept on their wrongs, and had not appeared to
complain. But to take up the case, in October, 1849,
when the insolvent was twice arrested, he had at
that time bills out with his name on them to the ex-
tent of 1,3001. What he got for them nobody knew.
He was arrested by Messrs. Sewell and Cross upon a
bill from a Mr. Button, a merchant at Derby, whose
name had appeared in more schedules than one, and
was evidently one of those persons who put their
names to bills without much consideration. The in-
solvent got rid of that arrest by some means, paying the
costs. About the same time he was also arrested by
Mr. F. H. Lewis, an attorney, to whom he gave a
lot of his own bills, and one hich happened to be in
his hands to get discounted for a clergyman named
Williams. He applied these bills to pay off Lewis,
and got rid of that arrest. That was a time of great
pressure, but it was a time prior to the insolvent's
getting all those bills which had been the subject of
the inquiry in this court. His next transaction was
two months after, in December, when he got from
a clergyman a 501. bill to get discounted, and it
suited him to hand it to his own landlord to pay his
rent. On that 501. bill lie was himself sued by Mr.
Bertiinata, a wine-merchant, who got execution
against him in May, 1850, but who was stopped for
a time by a bill which he gave them, having obtained
it from a Mr. Becher to get discounted.
Insolvent—And I paid one or two instalments off
the debt.

Mr. Commissioner LAW continued—The judgment
which was in existence in May was
enforced in Sep
tember, and the plaintiff Was
now the seconddetain--
detain-
ing creditor. Most of the transactions they had been
inquiring into had taken place since October, 1849, so
that if ever there was a man in the world deeply in-
volved in October, 1849, it was this insolvent. In
March, 1850, he was sued by the other detaining cre-
ditors, Messrs. Davis, upon the one of Mr. Williams's
bills which he had given to pay his rent, and on
which he was arrested on September 18. During
that period he had got into his hands and put out of
his hands the mass of bills they had been inquiring
into, and handed to his confederates. He (the Com-
missioner) called them confederates, for so the evi-
dence showed them to be. By his own account
during that period he had handed to Mr. Lewis bills
to the amount of 1,6501., of which he said one of
251. and another of 2001., were returned to the par-
ties, leaving 1,4251. of bills handed to Lewis for
a very trifling consideration after the time when
there were ca. sa.'s out against him, when he
had twice been arrested, and was under liabilities
to the amount of from 1,0001. to 2,0001., and for
all those bills the acceptors of them got only five
paintings. The only clue which the Court had as to
the value of the paintings was from the insolvent
himself, and the evidence on that subject, from which
alone a judgment of the value could be formed, was
that one, for which a 4001. bill had been given, the
insolvent himself pawned for 61. That was one piece
of evidence as a criterion of value. The other was
that there was once a picture which he valued to two
Admiralty clerks for a bill at 451., which he said he
afterwards pledged with Mr. Levi for 20s. That was
all the evidence there was as to the value of the
paintings ; but taking that as a clue, no very large
value could be presumed for the five pictures which
formed the total benefit which the scceptors of the
1,425/. bills had received. The bills which the insol-
vent had handed to Mr. Levi, another friend,
at all was not clear. It was said they were
amounted to 6801., for which, according to his own
account, the acceptors got 651. Why Levi had them
handed to him to get discounted, and it must be pre-
sumed that he broke faith, and they produced nothing.
Such was the insolvent's case. All the Court knew
was that they had produced nothing to the acceptors.
What had become of them nobody wouli tell. Why Mr.
Levi, not being neither a debtor or a creditor, should
have them was not told. On the first occasion Mr.
Lewis said the account he produced an tained all the
dealings that had occurred between him and the in-
solvent, with whom he had become acquainted about
nine months ago. It was perfectly clear that that
was an utter falsehood. The clear understand-
ing between Lewis and Hance was manifest
in the case of Mr. Hustler, whose whole dealing was
with Hance, but an invoice was made out for an arti-
cle (a picture) as if sold to him by Lewis, but when
the picture came to be pawned by Hance it was in
his own name, which showed they were acting to-
gether. As to Hance And Levi, the latter appeared in

more than one of the insolvent's earlier schedules, and
the fact of Hance giving a large quantity of bills for
nothing clearly proved there was no want of friend-
ship between them. Lewis Levi and D. L. Lewis,
father and son, were doing business generally at the
same place. Transactions had been proved with
Chapman, who said he was now the agent of Levi, and
he was employed to get some of these bills discounted by
Mr. Blackburn. He was the agent in handing Mr.
hlustler's and Mr. Bright's bills to Mr. Blackburn. Mr.
Beesely had been heard of as writing to threaten
Mr. Sewell with proceedings if his bill were not paid,
consequently it must be presumed that he was the
holder, although subsequently Mr. Billing became
the plaintiff. Then it appeared Chapman put his name
on one of the bills, and another man, an insolvent
clptain, put his name on another bill as the drawer.
The result of the best consideration which he (Mr.
Commissioner Law) had been able to give to the
case was, that the insolvent, being in such very des-
perate circumstances, and getting some of these bills
in September, when he had been waiting for months
to be arrested, and one he got the very morning of
his going to prison, having got 2,0001. and more of
bills into his hands from persons who got nothing, it
was not sufficient to say it was not proved what the
value of these bills was, and that they might not be
worth anything. The Court must look on them as
property, and it was those on whom he looked as
confederates that refused to prove the value by
showing what had been done with the bills. The sim-
ple fact was, the insolvent having got these bills into his
hands just before his insolvency, and after he had
been twice arrested, chose to hand them over to two
particular friends, and that was a concealment or
keeping back of property, which was a defiance to the
Court that must necessarily be treated as a misdeal-
ing with property, and so it would be treated in the
judgment.

It appeared from the evidence that an order for the
sum of 15s. had been sent by Mr. Lucas, of Manches-
ter, to James IVear, a coach-plater, lodging at 30,
Charles-street, Drury-lane, who had formerly been in
the service of his brother, the object of the remittance
being, that he should appear respectable in his attire
in representing Mr. Lucas as his agent in connexion
with matters relating to the Exhibition in Hyde-
park. A letter of advice was also sent, stating that
the order was to be sent on a certain day. Wear re-
quested that his landlady would take it in and keep
it for him, which was overheard by the prisoner, who
also lodged in the same house. On returning home
in the afternoon he was told by the landlady that such
a letter had been received by her, and that it had been
handed over to the prisoner at his request. The cir-
cumstance was then mentioned at the receiving-house
to where the order was directed, in Broad-street,
Bloomsbury, and from the description given of the
prisoner it was ascertained that he had committed the
fraud.

The young man who paid the money upon the
order proved that a tall man, who gave the name of
Davis, applied for the money, which was refused, and
in the course of the day he came again with the pri-
soner, who represented that his name was James
Wear, and signed that name to the printed form. The
money was delivered to him. He had no doubt that
the name of the gentleman transmitting the order was
correctly described by the person applying for the
amount, but he could not say how he obtained such
information.

- The insolvent said, he knew nothing of Blackburn,
and never saw him in his life. He never had a trans-
action with him. The bills he gave to Lewis were to
get discounted, and if that had been done the parties
would have had their money.
The insolvent was then sworn to his schedule; after
which

The constable who took the prisoner into custody
proved having found the letter produced, relating to
the order, in the prisoner's possession, although the
name of the person transmitting it did not appear.
The prisoner was ordered to stand committed for
trial.

Mr. Commissioner LAW said, for making away
with property as partly generally and partly with a
view to an undue preference to Mr. Lewis, the insol-
vent would be discharged when he should have been
in custody for a period of 23 calendar months from
the date of the vesting order (October 12, 1850.)
The insolvent protested that he had been made the
victim of other people.

James Price, a clerk employed in the Legacy
Duty-office in Somerset-house, was finally examined
on a charge of breaking open a desk, and stealing
a 101. Bank of England note, the property of another
clerk.

COURT OF INLAND REVENUE, April 16.
:Before C. J. HERRIES, Esq., ALFRED MONTGOMERY,
Esq., and CHARLES PRESSLY, Esq.)
ADULTERATION OF BEER.

Harp,
Simmons Feish, proprietor of the Welsh
harp, Aylesbury- street, Clerkenwell, was charged, on
an information containing two counts, with adulte-
rating his beer with certain articles in lieu and in sub-
stitution of malt and hops, and with having such adul-
terating articles in his possession.
Tne defendant pleaded not guilty to the information.
Dr. BATEMAN briefly stated the case on the part of
the Crown.

Mr. Frederick Pargeter stated that he was an officer
of Excise, and knew the premises of the defendant,
the Welsh Harp, Aylesbury-street, Clerkenwell. The
defendant was an entered licensed victualler. He went
there on the 13th of February last, accompanied by
Mr. Scott, the supervisor, and Mr. Cartwright, an-
other officer. They requested of the defendant, on
representing themselves as officers, permission to in-
spect his premises, which was at once acceded to.
They proceeded to the wine and beer cellars, in the
former of which they found a cask containing a gal-
lon and a half of a composition used for the adultera-
tion of beer. The cask containing it was of the de-
scription commonly used for containing spruce. The
defendant was with them in the cellar when the
cask was found, and he said that he had bought the
article for spruce, believing it to be so. Having
opened and examined the contents of the cask, he was
informed that it was not spruce, as it was as thick
as molasses, and very bitter and disagreeable to the
taste. They informed him that they should seize it,
as being an improper article his possession. They
then examined a butt of beer that had been recently
" made up," and found on the hoops some of the same
kind of ingredients as those in the cask they had seized.
Sumo traoea of tke same mixture were found on the
sides of a pail in the cellar. The defendant and Mr.
Scott had been absent for a few moments, and on their
return to the cellar witness and Mr. Cartwright
pointed out these appearances on the barrel and pail,
and the defendant said it must he the beer. Mr.
Scott then had some conversation with the defendant,
and during this time they found a cask containing
some real spruce, which was by no means like the
one they had previously discovered. There was not
the slightest difficulty in discovering the difference
between spruce and the adulterating article ; and it was
quite impossible that any person could buy one for the
other ; in fact, it could never be sold for spruce to
any person whatever. They seized the whole, and
having taken samples of the beer, brought them away,
and delivered them to ➢lr. Hall, the warehousekeeper.
Mr. D. Scott, supervisor of Excise, and Mr. Cart-
wright, an officer, corroborated this evidence.

Mr. George Phillips said he was the analytical
chemist to the Board of Inland Revenue, and had
examined samples of beer brought to him from the de-
fendant's. He found it adulterated with burnt sugar,
treacle, and common salt. There was no spruce in it.
The effect of mixing it with the beer was, by the
addition of water, to give it an apparently stronger
body. There was an addition of about 13i1b. to the
butt.

The defendant denied having used anything with
his beer, and said that the articles found he pur-
chased as spruce, and knew not but that they were
so. lie also asserted that there were no marks upon
the butt except the stains produced from black malt.
The COURT felt satisfied that the defendant had used
these deleterious articles as a substitute for malt and
hops, and, therefore, they should give judgment against
him in the penalty of 2001.
John Wale, a licensed victualler, of Upper Ground-
street, Blackfriars, was charged on a similar informa-
tion. The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Benjamin Elmoy said that on the 14th of Fe-
bruary be went with Mr. Cartwright to the defen-
dant's, and informed him that they were Excise
officers. They proceeded to the cellar of the house,
and there found a cask of stuff used for the adultera-
tion of beer. They told the defendant that it was
for that purpose, and he said it was nothing of the
kind, but that he had bought it of the landlord whom
he had succeeded, and that he had tried to sell it, but
could not do so. He denied having put any of it in
the beer. It was called "ex spruce," or beer mix-
ture. The adulterating mixture was distinguished
from real spruce by the term " ex" being invariably
prefixed to it. The defendant at length said there
was no use in denying it, that he had put a pint of it
into a butt of beer to increase the body, but had
added no water to it. He also said that it was a bad
job, but he hoped the Commissioners would deal as
fairly by him as they could.
The defendant said if he had done wrong he was
very sorry for it, but he had been but a short time in
the house.

The Court gave judgment in the penalty of 2001.
Richard Cross Mayes, of the Three Colts, Three
Colts-street, Limehouse, pleaded guilty to a similar
information.

In this case Messss. Scott, Chester, and Cart-
wright went to the house, and having obtained ad-
mission to the cellar, found the defendant's servant,
John Golding, in the very act of pouring the contents
of a pail into a butt of beer, and as soon as he saw the
officers he attempted to completely empty it into the
cask, but in doing so his arm was arrested by Mr.
Cartwright, and a sufficient quantity of the liquid was
secured to be analysed, which proved to be a mixture

EPPING FOREST.—We understand that the greater
portion of the timber standing in Ilainault, Epping, and
Waltham forests will be cut down during the ensuing year,
and the land will be enclosed and either brought into cul-
tivation or disposed of, as the revenues arising from them and
some other Crown lands aro hardly sufficient to meet the
expenses incidental to their management. —Chelmsford
Chronicle.

The particulars of the case fully appeared on the pri-
soner's first examination, and after the depositions
were completed the prisoner was fully committed, bail
to any amount, which was offered for his appearance
at the trial, being refused.

CLERKE N W LL.
Considerable interest was manifested in the neigh-
bourhood of this court in consequence of a report
that Mr. John Henry Eaton, the master of St. Pan-
cras Workhouse, was to be brought to this court by
the order of the directors of the poor of that parish,
to answer a charge of having violated Eliza Smith,
aged 16, one of the in-paupers of the above establish-
ment.

Mr. CoMBE, addressing Mr. Cooke, the vestry
clerk, inquired of that gentleman whether the case
was one of misdemeanour, which would subject Mr.
Eaton to indictment at the sessions ? Mr. Cooke
answered in the affirmative.

Mr. COMBS said then he was to take his place at
the bar, as no difference should be observed between
him and others similarly charged.
Mr. Eaton then proceeded into the dock in which
persons charged with felony are usually placed.
Eliza Smith, a weakly, but rather interesting-look-
ing girl, made the following statement, viz. :—My
name is Eliza Smith. lam 16 years of age. I lived
in St. Pancras Workhouse, as long as I can remem-
ber. I don't recollect the month when it took place ;
I believe it was about two months after Christmas.
On a Thursday, at 3 o'clock, I went with Mr. Eaton
to Hampstead. We walked a good way, and then
got into an omnibus. We went up to Mr. Elliott's
door at Hampstead. We didn't stay there long.
Then we went to my mistress's house at Hamp-
stead, where I Ind been in service, and saw my
mistress there. I stayed there about ten minutes.
Mr. Eaton then told me to go and stay at Mr.
Elliott's house. I stayed there until Mr. Eaton
came. It was for a long time. When he came it
was daylight. From Mr. Elliott's house I went with
Mr. Eaton in an omnibus. When it stopped Mr.
Eaton got out with me. Mr. Eaton asked me whe-
ther I had a sweetheart. This waS when we were
walking along, before we got into the omnibus.
When he asked me if' I had a sweetheart I said, " No,
sir." After getting out of the omnibus, on our re-
turn from Hampstead, Mr. Eaton took me through
different streets. I have no idea whereabout it was,
but it was not in St. Pancras. We went on until we
came to a house in a narrow street. There was no
shop to the house. The door was opened. Mr. Eaton
said nothing but went in first. I followed him. He
went upstairs first. I went up after him ; and he
went into a room, and a servant (a woman) came in
and put a light on the table ; and, as she was going
out of the room, she stopped and asked Mr. Eaton if I
had ever been there before. He said " Yes." There
was a bed in the room. When the woman left the
room she shut the door, and Mr. Eaton fastened it.
(She here detailed particulars quite unfit for publica-
tion.) We were upstairs together about an hour. I
said nothing to him in the room at all. I did not make
any noise. I did not cry. I came out with him, and on
going out two girls said, ".I know what that man
has been doing, and we will have him taken into
custody for it." We didn't go far before we got into
a cab, when the two girls called out to the cabman,
" You only take them for•the sake of the money."
Mr. Eaton said nothing when we got out of the cab.
He left me immediately. I don't know the name of
the street where I got out. lie then told me to go
somewhere. When he left me I asked my way to
St. Pancras workhouse. When I got there they were
all in bed in my ward but the nurse. When I arrived
at the workhouse-gate Mr. Eaton was there. I did
not hear him say anything to the porter. He went in
at the same time with me. I had no supper on my
return to the workhouse, nor anything all the time I
was away. I went to service the next day to Mr.
Dykes. The first I said about it was to Susan
Savage. I was at Mr. Dykes' 12 days, when I re-
turned to the workhouse. I told Susan Savage a
week after I returned.

Mr. Mallett—Did Mr. Eaton ever speak to you or
take notice of you after your return to the work-
house ? Witness—lle used to ask me how I was
when he came into the ward on a Sunday. I said,
" I was better." I had been ill before. I was taken
ill on the 2d of March. The day before I was taken
ill I told Susan Watson of what had happened.
By Mr. Mallett—No person had acted towards me
as Mr. Eaton did before. I had 2s. from Mr. Eaton
when I was in the room with him, after it had hap-
pened. Before he gave me the 2s. he told me not_ to
tell anybody. gave me Gd. since I returned to
the workhouse. He gave me the Gd. a good bit ago
in his office, and told me not to tell anybody.
Mr. Charles Henry Robinson, parish surgeon, said
the girl was admitted into the infirmary of the work-
house at the end of February, and left. She was
again admitted a fortnight after that. She laboured
under fever. On Tuesday week he made an exami-
nation by order of the directors of the poor, and he
found symptoms to show that an offence had been
committed. She was subject to epileptic fits, and was
of weakly constitution.
Mr. COMBE said, as the directors had properly sent
the case here to be investigated, and to afford the de-
fendant the opportunity of defending himself by
counsel, as he (Mr. Combe) was about to remand the
case for further investigation, he would leave it en-
tirely to his own discretion whether he would cross-
examine the girl that day, or leave it for his counsel
to do so. He would make no remark or offer any
opinion upon the case. He would remand the pri-
soner until Wednesday next, and take his own recog-
nizances in the sum of 501. to appear on that day to
answer the charge.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Mr. Joseph Samuels, a person of very respectable
appearance, stated to be the son of a widow lady of
property residing in City-terrace, City-road, was
charged before Mr. Arnold with an assault of a very
aggravated character upon the person of a young
woman named Elizabeth Davey, about 16 years
of age.

Wontner conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Clarkson, the barrister, instructed by r. Norton,
appeared for the defence.
The prosecutrix stated that the defendant resided
with his mother, into whose service she entered as
housemaid about three weeks ago, and she slept upon
the third floor, adjoining the defendants bedroom,
while his mother's sleeping apartment was under-
neath hers, and two grown-up daughters were on the
first floor. In the course of the week preceding the
circumstance she now related the defendant had
ma l e h oer not plaint
too
do
t
re-
peatedly taken trifling liberties with her, Which
she
repelled, but did not makea a n
her mistress about them, bey entreated
so, and upon one occasion brought her home a new
dress piece and presented it to her; she, however,
positively refused to accept it, and having afterwards
discovered that it bad been placed in her bedroom,
she took it out and threw it into the defendant's. On
the Saturday night, at twelve o'clock, her mistress
and her daughters retired to bed, followed directly
after by the defendant, leaving her up to finish her
