POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

OFFENCES AGAINST THE EXCISE LAW.—William Tren-
dall appeared to a summons charging him with selling tea
and tobacco without a license.

John Hill, excise-officer, said, on the 10th of August he
went to the defendant's premises in High-street, Camber-
well, and purchased a quarter of a pound of tea, and again
on the 14th of August, and bought some tobacco.
John Henderson, supervisor of Inland Revenue, said—
On the 10th or 14th ofAugust the defendant had no license
to deal in those articles. _ _

The defendant said he had since paid the amount, and he
should have paid it before if there had been any one at
the office in Tower-street to receive the money. He
had called four or five times, and the money had been re-
fused by the persons there.

Burton, another officer, said the time the defendant came
it was out of office hours. He knew very well where to go
and pay the money.
The magistrate said he had only power to reduce the
penalty to one-fourth. The defendant could petition the
Excise Board for a reduction. Fined £5 10s.

Another retail dealer, named Dobson, was also fined for
selling exciseable articles without a license.
The case was similar to the last. The charge for the
license has since been paid.
The defendant said the cause of his being summoned was
rather extraordinary. When the collector called for the
money he objected to one of the half-crown's tendered and
left the shop. He intended to send the money to the office
next day, but it slipped his memory. He had only been two
or three days without the license, and during that time he
had not sold anything.

The Magistrate said he had no power to reduce the fins
below £5.

Defendant—What am I to pay that for, I've committed
no crime.

The Magistrate—You have infringed the law, and there-
fore rendered yourself liable to a fine of £2O. The only
thing I have to do is to administer the law. You can, as in
the former case, petition the Excise Board.
Defendant—Yes, that's all very well, but I say I've done
no wrong, and therefore I am unjustly dealt with.
The Magistrate—Your remedy is to petition the board, I
have no power in the matter.
