THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL versus
AUSTIN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stu,---Our attention has been just called to your
report of this case, which we must say is not only far
from correct, but will operate greatly and unjustly to
the prejudice of our client, the defendant. There was
no evidence given, nor was it the fact, that Messrs.
~Robinson sent the defendant to pay the duty of 851.
payable upon silk, as stated in your report ; this was
merely the statement of counsel, too frequently made
without foundation ; were this all the defendant had
to complain of, we should have advised him to disre-
gard it, but you represent that having entered into
recognizances for his appearance at the Old Bailey he
did not appear when the sessions came on, and there-
fore the present prosecution was instituted. No such
statement either was or could be made ; the fact is,
the defendant did appear, and was prepared to defend
himself, but in consequence of Messrs. Robinson
having fled the country, no further proceedings took
place; this was distinctly stated by the defendants
counsel, and uncontradicted by the Crown. We are
persuaded you will feel the justice of correcting so
serious an error, and remain, Sir, your very obedient
servants, J. and C. ROBINSON.
May 13, 1845.

On Saturday last an alarming and destructive fire
took place on the premises, situate in Toll-street,
Derby-road, in the occupation of Mr. W. Smith, uphol-
• starer and cabinet-maker, Chapel-bar, Nottingham,
which completely destroyed a brick-building, consisting
of workshops, and a large and valuable stock of furniture.
Owing to the premises being immediately adjoining a
long range of wood-built workshops in the occupation of
Messrs. Denby and Howard, mill-wrights, and sur-
n
rouded by vast piles of wood in two tirnber-yards, a
fire could not have broken out in a more dangerous
situation.
Lord Wharncliffe, Lord President of the Council, left
town. on Monday, for his seat at Wortley Hall,Yorkshire.
