skilfulness of their agents and servants, in taking (town a cur:.
tain house, in doing which several tricks were thrown through
the skylights of plaintiff's warehouse, and goods to the amount
of 700/. were damaged.
The verdict was for the plaintiff, and subsequently a rule for
a new trial was obtained for the defendant, and on Monday last

thereon, which, by agreement, caw on again this day, upon a
cross. rule, au t, after hearing Mr."-Peacoek for the defendant,
and Mr. sergeant Channel) and Mr. Addiion for the plaintiff,
the Court took time to consider its judgment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Robert Pearn, Captain of the sloop Charlotte Ann, from
Rotterdam, appeared upon an information charging.him, under
the 48th section of the 3rd and 4th of William I V., cap. 53,
with having had concealed on board that vessel a certain
quantity of tobacco and of spirits, called Geneva, upon which
duty had not been paid. It appeared, from intelligence inci-
dentally communicated after the decision of the Magistrate,
that in the same vessel nearly 12,000 pounds weight of snuff had
been found, which was imported as provisions; but the latter
article is to be adjudicated upon by the Commissioner!, and
that the sloop is under seizure.
Thg Lord Mayor and Alderman Thomas Wood presided.
The Solicitor for the Customs appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Hobler, jun., attended on the part of the defendant.
Mr. David S. Harding, Tide-surveyor to Her :Majesty,
stated that on the afternoon of the 26th inst. upon rummaging
the Charlotte Ann, then lying at Brewers'-quay, he found
secreted in the master's state-room, and in other parts of the
cabin, occupied by the master or captain, 141bs of manufac-
tured tobacco, two gallons and six thirty-two's of Geneva, and
other contraband articles, such as coffee, tea, sugar-candy,
liquorice, manufactured tea-caddies, &c. &c. Part of the
tobacco was secreted between the Master's bed, and the vessel,
part was found upon the removal of the bulk-head of the state
room behind a board, which witness was occupied ten minutes
in removing by force, so completely was it fastened with nails;
and other contrauand articles were found in the bread-locker
under a false bottom. The captain was not on board when
witness proceeded to rummage; but upon appearing, he denied
of the articles 'at all.

Mr. Hobler, jun., endeavoured, by some ingenious observa-
tions, to get his client partly out of the difficulty.
Alderman THOMAS WOOD said that all the circumstances
showed great design and effort at concealment, which cer-

and sentenced him to pay the penalty of 1001.
The mate was also convicted on a similar penalty, but the
Bench recommended, that, as he probably acted under the in-
licence of the captain, the Board of Customs would order him
to be discharged.
