The present year, says the Prcsse, has been a very
fortunate one for the proprietors of vineyards, and in
particular those of the Gironde. All the crops have
brought such high prices that we must go very far back
to find a parallel. The. Minister of the Interior, who

his wines for 380,0001'. It is not merely the finer wines
which have brought high prices, but also those of the
ordinary kind.

LAW AND POLICE.
At the Court of Excise on Thursday, a great number
of wine-merchants, carrying on business in the City, were
summoned before the Court, for having the words " li-
censed to deal in foreign wines," written over their doors,
without having renewed their respective licenses. In all
the cases brought before the Court, which were more
than usually numerous, the parties were convicted in a
mitigated penalty, varying in amount from 10s. to 21.
At the same Court, Cornelius Metcalfe, a gardener, re-
siding at Hoxton, was charged with retailing spirits in
his garden on Sunday mornings. The Court found the
defendant guilty, and fined him 20/. for selling gin, and
51. for selling beer.
Frederick James Buckland, a wholesale wine-mer-
chant, of Great St. Helen's, was fined 701. for not renew-
ing his license.
At Marylebone Robert Kingston was placed at the
bar before Mr. Long, charged with having threatened to
horsewhip John Rawlinson, Esq., the magistrate. After
a lengthened investigation, Mr. Long said there was no
doubt very reasonable ground for apprehension on the
part of Mr. Rawlinson, and called upon the prisoner to
find bail to answer the charge at the sessions, himself in
5001., and two sureties in 2501. each, with 48 hours' notice.
Mr. Samuel Furness, and sixteen others, omnibus pro-
prietors, were summoned to Wandsworth Court by In-
spector Creed, of the V division, for plying for hire
and stopping longer than was necessary for the taking
in and setting down passengers opposite to the Plough
Inn, Clapham. Mr. Clive, the magistrate, said the
offence had been fully proved. As these summonses,
however, had been issued merely as a caution to the
proprietors, showing that they had been acting ille-
gally, he should only inflict the nominal fine of six-
pence and costs in this case. The other defendants would
pay one penny each and-costs.
