In our Saturday's impre,.sion we inserted a 1 tter
signed " 11-spitality," the writer of which ln.lingly ad-
vocates the propriety of raiing a fund for n,,warding
and making some provision 1, r One of the most intrepid
body of men who ever engaged in the most perilous ser-
vices that can be exacted of our fellow-creatures by the
demands of humanity. The merits and services of the
Deal boatmen are not quite as generally known, we
frar, as the twat sands on which, in their gallant and
daring struggle to rescue others from off them, they are,
in so many instances, lost themselves. Their task is
always one of imminent peril, and demanding the most
undaunted energy both of body and of purpose. It is, to
brave the utmost fury of that elemunt and to encounter
the tremendous horrors of those storms, in which the
shipwrecked voyager expects, on the Goodwins, that

destruction from whence no hurnAn hands, but those 4-.1
these brave boatmen, are likely to snatch them. A very
recent case in which the dreadful sacrifice of two boats'
crews in one of these arduous and daring efforts was the
result of their devoted enterprise—gives an additional
and a melancholy force to the suggestion of our corre-
spondent. The violence of the equinoctial gales, too,
that have been lately blowing, and the boisterous condi-
tion of the weatheryesterday, may well serve to remind
us of the strong and righteous claims that such men have
upon the bounty as well as the sympathies of the coun-
try at large. It is really a debt of honour as well as of
gratitude yet to be discharged by the public to the brave
seamen who have snatched so many precious lives from
the yawning deep, and those engulfing sands, to pro-
vide a fund from whence some provision may be secured
for the wives and families of such of these hardy boat-

men as perish in their calling; and rewards be dispensed
fur the encouragement of those who perform, and sur-
vive, the more remarkable and hazardous of these res-
cues. We have with all readiness given publicity to the
proposal of our correspondent, and shall with great plea-
sure contribute our aid to the advancement of the project
he has pointed out, whenever it shell be adopted.

THIS DA Y'6 Nl4: WS.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

CRIAL AT BAR.-THE GREAT DISTILLERY CASE.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GEORGE 7111TH.

The Court sat this morning at ten o'clock, and Mr. Drink-
water, supervisor of Excise, was again plaped in the witness
box, and examined by the Solicitor-General. After giving
the products daring the different periods of distillation, the
witness proceeded :—The pump, although locked by the Ex-
cise, does not prevent the trader or his servants communi-
cating with the pipe by means of the valves. The officers
were not constantly present at night, unless the trader
gave them notice that he intended to remove wash, or
feints, or spirits. I was examined with regard to the swell in
the pipe which entered the spirit receiver. The defendant
did not, after the last dripping, ask to have the receiver re-
dripped.
Robert Batten was recalled, and examined by Mr. MARTIN
—I went to the defendant's premises in June, 1843, in the
capacity of inferior officer of Excise. There were four in-
ferior officers—namely, Kibble, Pitcher, Mill, and Wallace,
beside myself, and Mr. Drinkwater, the superior officer.
They did not continue all the time, for they were replaced by
others. At one time there were two additional officers—l
mean during the 9th and 10th distilling periods. There
was a strict survey kept on the premises during the whole
time I was there. There was but one officer there during the
period of distillation. The receiver was emptied after every
charge. An officer regularly attended to the removal of the
charge from the receiver. An officer was present while the
spirit was running into the receiver. Aster the charge was
removed from the receiver, water was afterwards poured into
it by the trap-door. I cannot say what the reason
was why water was placed in The receiver, un-
less it were to wash it out, so as to leave
no spirit behind. I have never found spirits
carried about by the workmen in cans or vessels of any kind.
Some samp es of the wash wer. taken by me and delivered
to Mr. Drinkwater to be distilled. I took occasional sam-
ples during the whole time I was there. I discovered the
first hole in the cover of the receiver on the morning of the
13th of December, 1843. One of the foremen of
Mr. Smith was with me at the time. His name
is John bring. He was not on the receiver, but lie was
watching me. I did not tell him of the discovery I made. I
told it first to Mr. Drinkwater on the same morning, about
six or seven hours after. I kept watch that no one went to
the receiver. The boards were nailed on the top
of the receiver, and round the suction-pipe. The boards
were old, and apparently had been there for a long
time. I examined them on the 18th of August, before that
time, and found them firm. 1 might have examined those
boards between August and December, "but I won't be posi-
tive about it. Before the 13th I had means of judging
whether they were- firm or not. (The boards alluded to
were handed to Mr. Martin.) These are the boards, and the
outside obe was moveable. The hole in the board was freshly
cut. The fact of the fresh sawing of the bole was not pointed
out to Mr. Smith, as he would net stop. I informed Mr.
Drinkwater of the discovery, and he took the charge in the
receiver. It was filling at two o'clock in the morning. I
saw Mr. Drinkwater take the strength, and Mr. Smith and
he said there were 28 gallons of excess. Mr. Drinkwater
took the measurements, but it was Mr. Smith who said
there was au excess. I afterwards heard the defendant say
that there was not an excess, and lie asked Mr. Drinkwater
to measure it again. Mr. Drinkwater showed him the hole,
and he said that the nails had rusted off. Two of the
managers, Gill and Viner, came liith Mr. Smith in the
first instance. I did not hear Mr. Smith propose that
the spirits in the vats should be measured out
in gallon measures, to prevent mistake. The 28 gallons of
excess were taken away by the Excise, but I have not heard
that they have been condemned. The top of the receiver
was made good that day, and remained so till the 12th or
13th April, when the boards were temporarily removed, and
then replaced again. I am not aware that the Excise has
taken any measure with regard to that hole. The second
hole in tile top was discovered in June, 1844. There were
two men present belonging to the establishment. It might
be about four or five o'clock when the discovery was made
Hamilton, a carpenter, was sent for, but I did not say that I
had pushed out the plug with my finger. I said I had knocked
it out with a piece of iron. I heard Gill, the foreman, said
to Hamilton, " Hamilton, what do you think of this? What
do you think this has been ?" Hamilton said, " Oh, an old
dipping-hole." Then Gill said, " Just what I said." Then
they brought dipping-rods, but they would not go into the
hole. I saw Mr. Smith some days after, and told him. He
said he knew nothing about it, and if it was there,
it must have been a knot-hole. I made the
drip two-tenths more than Mr. Drinkwater. There was
a dispute between Mr. Smith and myself on every charge.
Mr. Smith complained during the whole time I was there.
On the 23d of March, 1844, we had " a grand dispute" as to
the quantity of spirits in the-receiver. I made it a tenth more
than he. Mr. Ross and another officer came down and
tested it afterwards, and they found a tenth more than either
of us. I cannot tell what amount of the proceeds of this

prosecution mar go into my pocket. One- halfof the penalty
will go to the informer and the other half to the Queen. I
expect nothing but what the law has provided in the usual
way of business.—(Laughter.) I do not expect 75,0001.
It was late in he afternoon—about five o'clock—when Drink-
water said he was ready for his experiment with the pipes
When he made the first experiment, which was made with
spirits, there was a failure. It was eight o'clock when the
spirit began to run from vat No. Bto vat No. 17. It ran
fiir an hour. It was three hours before they were able to
get the pipes to work, in consequence of some air having got
in. It was found necessary to stop two of the cocks with clay.
To the Couier—One of the cocks which it was necessary to
stop was on the roof—in the gutter like. The other was
beloc.-. It was what is called a rack-cock. Thinks it was
not clay that was used, but putty and tow. The exclusion of
air was necessary to the working of the syphon. It took an
hour to put the pipe in order. One of Mr. Smith's servants
had passed under the pipe, and pushed it up with his back in
order to break it or put it so out of order as to prevent the
experiment.
To'Mr. MARTIN—Does not know the name of the man
who acted in that way. Believes that Mr. Smith was pre
sent. Could swear to the man if he saw him.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—If the man is to be produced,
Mr. Martin, he ought to be brought into Court.
Mr. MARTIN said that all the men in Mr. Smith's employ-
ment would be produced.
Cross-examination resumed—The loss :spirits upon the
experiment was, apparently, 100 gallons, but the real loss
was not more than 40 gallons. The apparent loss was al-
ways greater than the real when the quantity of water
mixed with the spirits was increased. The spirits might
have been re-distilled and there woul•l have been no loss.
The quantity of spirits was 700 gallons, and the water
2,700 gallons. When the liquor passed over vat No. 17, it
was five minutes or more before witness could taste the
spirits. There were seven or eight officers of Excise engaged in
the experiment. Several of Mr. Smith's men were about, but he
could not say how many. Before witness was sent to Mr. Smith's
he had been five years at Bromley. Had also been employed
for the Excise in the distillery of Buchan and Co., near
Edinburgh. Left that place when his time was up, and for
no other cause. In Scotland the distillers were allowed to
work at a lower gravity than in England. But they must
give notice of the gravity they choose to work at, but they
will be charged upon the amount of their notice at the end
of the year, whether they produce the quantity or not.
Mr. MARTIN would ask one more question. Did you put
a puddling of clay round the opening in the top of the re-
ceiver when you took the drip? Witness—l did, to prevent
water flowing in._

Mr. MARTIN—Did you ever know that to be done before?
—Never.

Mr. MARTIN—Why did you do so in this Case ?—To pre-
vent the water coming in.
The re-examination of the witness by the Solicitor-General
elicited nothingof the least moment.

By a Juror.-14he water passed through the pipes trom one
house to the other by the pressure of the body of water in
the tank; but the spirits passed, upon the principle of the
syphon, which required the pipes to be air-tight.
By the COURT—The looseness of the cocks, which re-
quired to be stopped with tow and putty, was occasioned by
frequent working.
The previous witness, Drinkwater, recalled, and examined
by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—ThC pipe which I suspected to
communicate between the two distilleries was that which
one of Mr. Smith's workmen attempted to break. The man
made the attempt maliciously, to prevent the experiment.
It was quite plain that he did so. I complained of it at the
time. Mr. Smith was not present, to the best of my recol-
lection ; but Mr. Gill was. -

(The trial was proceeding when our report left.)
