TILE S N, LONDON, FR

Mr. KELLY thought that as these particulars were of a
complicated nature it would be better for Drinkwater to
enter upon the whole of that evidence.
Examination of witness continued—The watch was only
.partial, by examining the premises. I did not watch during
the eighth distilling period, but I received orders to watch
strictly during the ninth distilling period. I was as-
sisted by the same officers, and by one or two
others. I also with them watched the tenth peliod.
During the eighth period there was a deficiency.
On the 9th and 10th there was an excess greater than upon
the 7th period. On the 7th of March, 1844, I took charge
of the premises in the absence of Mr. Drinkwater. There
were recurring disputes on every charge about the dip of the
receiver. I took the drip, and I found two-tenths incor-
rect upon the drip, or twenty-nine gallons gained on
every charge. I found the valves in the pump of the
spirit receiver loose, and water could be let through. Before
I took the drip the Surveyor-General had ordered a lock to
be put upon the suction-pipe. Mr. Smith was not
present when I found the increase upon the drip.
He was present when the dip was taken ; on
that occasion there was an increase in the dip.
Mr. Smith remarked that it had occurred from the water
falling back through the pump. The pump was afterwards
unscrewed and examined. One of the valves was deficient
altogether. I went afterwards on the 15th of June and
examined the top of the spirit receiver with a
lamp. I discovered there another hole which I
had not seen before. It was stopped with a wooden
plug. It appeared fresh as if recently cut. The
hole was circular, and about. Ph inch in diameter. It did not
arise from a knot in the wood. I am positive the hole was
not there on my last examination. When I discovered the
hole I tried it with a dipping-rod, and it would not go in. It
could not, therefore, be an old dipping hole. The dipping
holes are generally square, not circular. I had not charge of
the rectifying premises till the 7th March, 1844. The stock
there is taken once in six weeks. The strength of the
sweetening spirit is declared by the trade. The recti-
fying house is not open at night. On the 14th of October
I went with Cameron, Franklin, and Drinkwater to the
rectifying premises. I observed some water running into
the still-heads, and some questions were put to Mr.
Whitehead on the subject. I went round to the dis-
tillery, and turned the cocks of the liquor vats.
I cut off the stop-cock. I turned on water
again, and went back to the rectifying house. I found
there Cameron and Mr. James Scott Smith in conversation.
The water was then running on the still leads. I returned
with Franklin to the distillery, and showed him how
I had turned the water off. On the succeeding day
I was at the distillery with the same person. I saw
Mr. George Smith. Mr. Cameron asked if there
was any connexion between the distillery and the
rectifying house except the open trough? Mr. Smith said
"Do you Isiah to catch me, Mr. Cameron, I scorn such
ways." Mr. Cameron then said I don't wish to catch you,
but I dare say your brother told you about the water-pipe
yesterday." Mr. Smith then said that there was a water-
pipe to his house and to the gallery over the wav, as well as
to every house in the parish. On the 17th Oct. the surveying-
general examiners attended on the premises, and on that
day men were employed to raise the ground. I traced the
pipes from the distillery to the rectifying house. In the pipe
going across the street there is a stop-cock, which can cut off
the connexion. There was a box upon it, bearing the initials
of the East London Water-Works. I saw the pipe uncovered
towards the granaries. There was no communication between
the pipe and the company's main. There was no other com-
munication, excepting with the pipe which led from the
tanks in the distillery. I was not aware of this communi-
cation between the distillerp and the rectifying house until
the ground was opened. The pipes were not in the entries
returned by Mr. Smith. On the 22d October I was made
to pass spirits between the distillery and the rectifying house.
The largest store vat in the distillery is No. 8, and the pipe
which runs along the top supplies the vats from the spirit
receiver. There is a sink opposite No. 8 vat. I assisted in
stopping the communications to the branches along the pipe.
The first experiment was by placing a small tub of water
above the sink, and that was acted on by means of a
syphon, which reduced the water immediately. It was then
proposed to substitute water for spirits, -and a connexion
was effected between No. 8 vat and the pipe over the sink.
There was a screwed cock on the pipe at the sink, and
another on the pipe at the vat. The quantity of spirits in the
vat was ascertained to be 7,399 gallons in bulk, 13-4 per cent.
above proof,which would give 8,390 and a fraction proof spirits.
In the cont., e of the evening I went round to the rectifying
premises, and on receiving information from Mr. Drinkwater,
that all was ready, I took the dip of No. 17 vat, and found it
in bulk 67 9-10 gallons above proof. The cock was turned
by Drinkwater. Water run for ten minutes, and then spirits
commenced to run, weak at first, but at last they ran 11 per
cent. overproof. Mr. Cartwright caught samples, and
handed them to us. The first dip I took after the spirit
had ceased running was 27 inches. The whole quantity run
was 700 gallons of proof spirits. It took us about an hour to
run that quantity. Rectifiers use water, or, as it is termed,
spirit, for reducing their liquors. We afterwards run water
through the pipe until it no longer tasted of spirits. Five
minutes would be sufficient to do away with all taste of
spirits.
The witness was about to be cross-examined by Mr. Fitzroy
Kelly, when
The LORD CHIEF BARON said it was time the case should
be adjourned until to-morrow.
The Court then rose about five o'clock.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The Barbicre, that best of comic operas, was performed here
last evening, with a cast that might challenge any musical theatre
in Europe. Grist was the Rosina, Mario the Count Almaviva,
Fonasari the Figaro, and Lablache the Dr. Bartolo. All were in
excellent voice, and never has the opera been more delightfully
performed. Lablache produced considerable laughter by intro-
ducing the Polka as one of the aka of his early youth.
His manner of giving it was the ne plus ultra of
mock solemnity. A new divertissement, entitled Le Pechcur Na-
politain, followed the opera, in which Lucile Grahn and Perrot
danced the Tarantella with the, most graceful abandon imaginable.
The Viennese children acted as the corps (te..ballet on this occasion,
and for the first time showed us what a corps de ballet
might and ought to be. They. likewise gave a new pas, the
Mazurka, with all that precision . and wonderful rapidity of
evolution which astonishes as well as delights. The
performance terminated with the concluding scenes of the
Sonnambala, in which Madame Castellan, by her brilliant per-
formance of the celebrated finale," Ah ! non giungeuman pensiero,"
proved her right to the rank to which she aspires, that of prima
donna assolula on the first lyrical stage in the world. The
house was crowded by a select and attentive audience.
Amongst the company we noticed the Russian Minister and
Baroness de Brunnew, the Duke of Beaufort, the Lord Chitt
Baron, the Earl of Wicklow, Lord Templetown, Lord and Lady
Harry Vane, Lord Cantalupe, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence, Lady Katherine Howard, the Earl of Wilton, the
Countess of Essex, Lord Macdonald, Sir William Keith Ball,
Count Louis de Noailles, Count Koudriaffsky.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Her Majesty arrived at five minutes before seven, and was re-
ceived by Mr. Bunn. The Queen Dowager, accompanied by the
Duchess of Kent and suite, arrived ten minutes before her Ma-
jesty, and occupied the Chesterfield box, directly opposite her Ma-
jesty, and above them was a box occupied by the Countess Delawarr
(the lady of the Lord Chamberlain) and family. Her Majesty,
leaning on the arm of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, entered
her box immediately, and was received with a deafening shout by
one of the most crowded houses we ever remember to have seen.
The Queen was attended by the Lord Delawarr, Earl of Liver.
pool, Lord Combennere, Lord C. Wellesley, Lord F. Somerset, &c.,
the Duchess of Buccleuch, and other ladies in waiting. _

On her Majesty's appearance in the box, " God save the Queen"
was sung by Mr. Harrison, and Misses Romer and Rainforth, and a
full chorus, and was greatly applauded, the whole audience rising
and testifying their loyalty.
Both her Majesty and the Prince appeared in excellent health
and spirits, and took the most attentive Interest in the perfor-
mances, which consisted of William Tell and Clari. M. Dupree,
as Arnold, exerted himself to the utmost, and was in fine voice.
The performances terminated soon after eleven o'clock. Her
Majesty, with her suite, then retired, and returned to Buckingham
Palace. The Queen Dowager and the Duchess of Kent retired
immediately after the Queen.
We understand that the receipts of the evening amounted to
upwards of 9001. The cost of the royal box and apartments, to
fit up which magnificently no expense was spared, exceeded 1701.
I A full body of police was in attendance, and order was well pre-
served.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—DougIas Jerrold's new
five act comedy is to be produced at this theatre this evening.
The production of a comedy from the pen of Douglas Jerrold—the
most witty, sarcastic, and nervous cf modern writers—is an event
which every lover of the drama must look forward to with interest ;
and with regard to the new comedy, we understand that this, the
youngest born of his muse, is equal in wit and vigour to any of
its predecessors, and superior to them in construction of plot and
variety of incident. We aidicipate a great treat.
The sporting case of Woud v. Glen, which was to
have been tried at last Kingston Assizes, but was pea
putted for trial this term in the Court of Exchequer, on
the application of Mr. Glen, for the purpose of enabling
him to have the evidence of Abraham Levi Goodman
taken at Boulogne under a commission, and for which in-
dulgence Mr. Glen was compelled by Baron Rolfe to pay
1,5001 into court as a security to Mr. Wood, has been
suddenly terminated by Mr. Glen, who, instead of pro-
ceeding to examine Goodman under the commission,
has drawn up a Jtulg,t's order to stay the proceedings.
upon payment to Mr. Wood of the amount for which the
action was brought, and costs; the 1,500/. being paid out
of court to Mr, Wood's attorney in part discharge of the
amount. The costs have since been taxed at 195/.lls. 3d.,
in addition to which Mr. Glen has also to pay Mr. Wocd
681. Is. 10d. for the costs of his answer to a bili in Chan-
cery, which Mr. Glen filed against him fur a discoverd
y
and injunction, and which answer, principally foundry
vp m written documents, clearly exculpated Mr. Woid
from all participation in the frauds which had been prac-
tised by other parties, and rendered any application for
an injunction to stay the action quite hopeless. The tic.
• tion (as most of our readers will remember) was brought
by Mr. Alexander Wood, of Epsom, corn chandler, (the
plaintiff in the recent trial, Wood v. Col. Peel), against
Mr. Adam Glen, of Regent-street, baker, for recovery
from the latter of 1,555/. 4s. 10d., the costs paid by Mr.
Wood to Col. Peel, and against which costs Mr. Glen
had given Mr. Wood a bond of indemnity, Mr. Wood
taking no part in the proceedings, but leaving the entire
conduct of them to Mr. Glen and his attorney, except
that Mr. Woo. d,.oncommencement of the trial on the
second day, insisted in court on the proceedings being
stopped, in consequence of his having, on the previous
evening, for the first time discovered the fraud which had
Le in practised.

were some charming passages. Mr. Carte also played a fantasia on
the flute with much taste and excellent execution. Miss M. B.
Hawes sang several songs in her best style and with a fine power of
voice. Mr. John Parry was exceedingly lightsome and delicately
humorous in two of his pieces, one of which was a new one and
set to music of his own composition. Herr Staudigl was impressive
and grand, as he only can be in that most difficult effort of vocal
power, Der Wanderer, and in the duet from Semiramidr, " Bella
imago," with Miss M. B. Hawes. But Staudigl also appeared for
the first time in a new character"
