TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN.

Sta,—A gross•niis.statement having appeared in
ynor Paper of this day respecting the proceedings
against its in the Cotrt,of Exch, quer, which we
ILia dotivifited could only have Irison in error, we
doubt ioit but you will reatfily give room for a
contradiction.
Tl,e i'eoott states, that a seizure was made at
our house of contraband goods to the amount
of. 20001. The fact is, that the seizure in
question, and the only: one that ever took
place, was about e year and a half since, when
the CustOm•house OffiCers, after searching very
.minutely through the whole of our stock and
:premises, took a few trifling articles, the greater
part of which were afterwards returned to us as
ttritish manufactore. and those retained as contra-
brind amounted only to 7i. Os. 6d. and which had
been broujit into the house by our servants, with-
out our kitoWledge ; the penalty on these amounts
to 204 ; sonic other goods were alleged to have
passed through our hands during the last four
years, which we were fully prepared to have dis.
prdired, but finding that we were liable to the
penalty atteched•to the trifling articles found in
but poiSessjun, we were advised to sutler a verdict
to life't Ver
for the Crown, on the penalty being
Miliglii zitAlne half, viz. 1001.
' '‘Voliix libri of what passed between the Common
Serjent and the Solicitio7General is, we believe,
tolernit correct, the latter stating his belief, front
the representations Made to hint, that we had no
knowledge of Hn y such transactions.
From the exaggerated statement that has ap-
prayed, we think it necessary distinctly to state,
hat the ebovi is the wh'Ole extent of the affair.
' - We are, Sir,
Your 'obedient Servants,

The deceased Was a working jeweller and sit,

sonercame in, apparently a little intoxicated.' lle
Was knoivn to some oftlst cotnpanr, hut not known
to the 'deceased man, Levy. Seeing the cards, he
said be would play any man for five pounds. 'Some
of the Company said, " Bonier; you play him,"
meaning one of 'the', company.' Bonier at last
agreed to play, but it was only for it shilling, and
sixpenny worth'. He lost, and a man of the nnme
of Knight lent him the Shilling. He then offeled
to play again, and looked at Levy, who said,
" What is tits use of piayin•g with.you .;"yott have.
no money.'' This taunt irritated' the prisoner,
and he became very.attnsive, • -Thelleceitteol.

&iced greater irritation;and he' challenged Levy
to-fight him ; this he at first declined, .but at last
they agreed.to., go.out and tight. • They got into
the street, amid Levy said, hewoubl go on the ttnf,
and not fight in the mud ; but the prisoner said,
No, you, you shall' have it here," and im-
mediatel‘yriohed at the deceased. They closed,
and fought a short time, when they both fell,' the
prisoner undermost. 'The deceased sprung up
immediately, and the prisoner Also tole up, and
they fought another romith'' and again' both
fell, the prisoner again inierntepot. As the de-
ceased: rose tip the last 'romnfl; hu staggered tti-

to.a-Doctor'S shop', a few'yardi distant, .where he
died ifs a few minutes. Mr. Tityli.r, the Surgeon;
examining hiabody, found eleven dillerent cuts and
stabs ; 'two' cruciform on 'the right cheek, ome
across the forehead el about the body, and
;Me on the' right t, which had ditided the fe-
moral arttry, witiih was the cause of his death.
He • said, thni during the heat of :the contest he
might not perceive himself wounded, at least it
'might be time case with Seven of the ele yen' wOunds.
Some of the party immediately came 'oack to the

ensued, it wintld'only 'be' manilaughter ; but if

_contest; when his.blood was heated, either strateb.:.
-editip a deadly' weapon, •or used it haying it at
'trend, the law, ineontideration of human friti4.,'
reduced. death to the crime of Manslaughter. -They
would therefore consider the- evidence, and say
'whether, in their opinion, the prisoner went out,
having secreted the deadly weapon' with intention
to'nse it in the contest, or whether, during the
beat t)f the fight, he drew it from his poeliat,'
and as they thought, tither may, they would pro,;
armee a verdict of murder or manslatighter., The
Learned Judge then detailed the.wlinle_cvidenee
very minutely ; which being concluded, tfte)hiry
debberAted about a (twirler of ,an hour, ;old' then
found the prisoner guilty of Wilfal Murder. He
was immediately sentenced-- for execution oh
Thursday morning next. He was much affected
on bearing his sentence, and seemed in great an-
visish. •
