picture-frame, ex its value, under tilt following cir-
cumstances :—Mr. Stroghlin had executed a highly-

for iIZISOO, which SUtli was paid. At the time the
pictitte was purchased it was in an elegant gilt frame,
but when sent home to Sir Gregory the frame wls
kept back, and the picture Was rolled up on a wooden
roller. Sit Gregory expressed his surprise at this,
conceiving that for his a'lsoo he was to have a frame
as well .1. A picture ; he therefore sent a person to
Mr. Stroghlin for the frame. Mr. Stroghlin, how-

worth 60 guineas. Upon .this refusal Sir Gregory

COURT -OF EXCHEQUER, JULY a.
THE NINO V. DUCARItON.

This was a prosecution instituted against the de.
fendant, for the purpose of condethtting 1638 pieces
of French cambric, which had been :cited by the
officers of customs as contraband.

The Soma-on-GR.-venal. stated, that it Was of the
highest importance to the interests of the country,
that foreigri aftitles of this valuable description should
not be imported into this country, without having re-
gularly paid the duty. He feared there were many
persons, dealers in French lace and cambric, who
imported a large quantity upon which the duty was
teguiarly paid, and who also imported to a grelt
extent articles on which the duty had not been paid.
The mode by which this was done, after eluding the
•igilance of the officers on the coast, was tti bring the
eambricx to a place called Riddlcsdo*n, between
Croydon and Godstone, where they were packed up
in what were called flats, and brought to town in
the same way that country people bring fowls, but-
ter, or any thing Of that kind to market. The de-
fendant himself resided in Vine-streeti Piccadilly, but
besides this hem, information was given that lie had
a warehouse up two pair of stairs, at a china shop
in Newgate-strette . In consequence of this two of
the officers went there, and proceeded to the defer.
dint's room, where, in a closet by the file-side. they
discovered a number of boxes of cambric, which they
seized. The facts were made out by the testimony
of the officers.

Mr. SCARLETT contended, that the defendant had
paid the duties upon the cattibries seized ; but not
tble to ptove the fact as to the greater part of
the articles, a verdict passed for the Crown, with an
understanding that the amount of the loss to be sus-
tained by the defendant on the seizure, should be
made the subject of a compromise.

THE KING TY. JENKINS.
This was an information against the defendant, a
maltster, to recover three penalties, amounting to
0400, for making malt in a private place ; for not
giving notice to the proper officers of the time of wet-
ting it ; and for not making regular entries in his bar-
ky,ltooh of the quantity made by him. The facts
were distinctly made out in evidence.
The Jury returned their verdict for the Crown for
all the penalties.
