INGENIOUS SMUGGLING. - Edward Challingworth, or
Chilliogworth, of Kate's-hall, Dudley, Worcestershire,
gas fitter, aged 29, was charged with smuggling 51bs. 12oz.
of cigars and 11b. of tobacco.

The prisoner was a passenger on board the General
Steam Navigation Company's steam sloop Waterloo, from
Rotterdam, and his box was searched by a Custom-house
officer, named Harris, who asked him if he had got any-
thing about him or in his box liable to duty, and the
reply was, about 40 or 50 cigars among my clothes. There
were 40 cigars found in his clothes. The officer then
measured his box, a large one, and the depth inside did
not correspond with the depth outside. There was a false
bottom to the chest, and on its being removed, five pounds
and twelve ounces of cigars and one pound of tobacco were
discovered very closely compressed. They had been in-
geniously packed between the false and the real bottom of
the chest. The value of the duty amounted to £2 ss. Gd.
Mr. Partridge said there was no defence, and the case
was a very bad one. He fined the prisoner the treble value
and duty, £6 16s. Gd. or seven days' imprisonment.
The fine was paid.

MORE SMUOGLISO.— Lumbutus Feldhausen, the cook of
the Batavia steamship, trading between London and
Rotterdam was charged with smuggling five and a
half pounds of foreign manufactured tobacco found in
the pantry of the ship, and which ho admitted to be his
He was found guilty on this charge, and was sentenced to
pay a fine of £2 Os. 9d., or be imprisoned for seven days.
Ho was then charged on a Custom-house information with
smuggling 281bs. of tobacco, by which he had incurred a
penalty of £lOO. A man named John Coombs, on whom
281bs. of tobacco was found, was convicted by Mr. Part-
ridge on Fri6.y last, and sentenced to be pay £lOO or be
imprisoned for six months. The prisoner Feldhausen was
apprehended on Saturday, and he admitted that all the
tobacco belonged to him, including that found on Coombs.
Feldhausen was on shore when Coombs was arrested.

Mr. Partridge held there was no evidence to commit
Feldhausen with unshipping or being concerned in the
carrying and conveying the tobacco taken from
Coombs, and strongly condemned the system of
Custom-house officers extracting admissions from pri-
soners. Police-constables had no right to do it, and it was
equally objectionable on the part of revenue officers. It
was the duty of Custom-house officers to ask passengers
or the crews of foreign steamers or English steamers if they
had any goods about them liable to duty, but not to inter-
rogate them. He hoped the practice would not be re-
peated. Ile dismissed the second information, and con-
victed only on the first.

with stealth, the place of its authority ; but by its sweet,
