OFFENCES AGAINST THE EXCISE LAW.—Wm. Edwards,
lately occupying the Britannia Coffee-house, Britannia-
street, City-road, was summoned for selling gin without a
license. He did not appear.

From the evidence of two men, one a porter, and the
other Girling, " a commercial traveller," it appeared that
on Sunday morning, the 26th of May, they went into the
house about one o'clock in the morning, and on proceeding
upstairs to the first floor they found about 30 persons drink-
ing coffee. On leaving the house they asked for some gin,
when Ed wards produced a half-pint bottle, and served
them with a quartern of gin, for which they charged 6d.
They then informed the police of the circumstance.
Inspector Bicknell and Sergeant Godwin confirmed the
evidence of the preceding witnesses.
11Ir. Henry fined the defendant £lO.
James, George, and Hannah Richmoni were also sum-
moned for the same offence.

John Yeomans, a compositor, 172, City-road, said on
Sunday morning, the 2d of June, he went, in company
with Girling, to No. 34, Blu© Anchor-alley, at about a
quarter past eleven, to the prisoners, and there saw the
young man George Richmond outside the door, when he
asked whether he would " have a drain." He said he
woull, and they all three went up stairs, and there they
had t quartern of gin, for which they paid 41d., and also a
pot of beer, for which sd. was charged.
Girling gave evidence to the same effect.

Inspector Bicknell said he went to the premises, and
there found seven pints of gin, one pint of rum, a large
stone bottle which had contained beer, 12 dram glasses, and
a quartern measure.
All three persons denied the charge.
The wife and son were discharged, but the elder defendant
was fined £5O for selling spirits and £2O for selling beer
without license.

John Johnstone, refreshment-house keeper, City-road,
was summoned for selling beer without a license.
The two witnesses in the case were Yeomans and Girling,
and they deposed that they went into the house on Sunday
morning, the 9th of June, and there were served with two
pint bottles of stout, for which Is. was charged.
Inspector Bicknell said he found 22 men and 4 women
drinking beer. He found 15 pint pottles of beer and lof
ale.

Mr. Johnstone said he denied the charge-of selling beer.
It was true the beer had been sold in his house, but the
circumstances were very peculiar. The beer in question
belonged to a gentleman who was lodging in his house, and
who was proceeding to India. He was taking a farewell of
his friends, and that accounted for the beer being on
the premises. The servant girl knew one of the
witnesses, and to oblige him, as he told her he was thirsty
as he had just come from the theatre, she let have two of
the bottles of beer. The money, however, was given to
the gentleman who belonged to the property.
Mr. Henry said the offence was clearly proved, but ho
would mitigate the penalty from £2O to £5.
