AD U LTER A TIO N OF SUGAR.
Yesterday morning,two men in the employ of Messrs.
Munyard, of Wardoor street, Soho-square, came before
the Magistrate at Marlborough•street, (Mr. CONANT) to
take his advice under the following circumstances:
By the statement of one of the mechanics, it appears
that there were about thirty men employed in the ma-
nufactory to which he belonged, and that nearly the
whole of them had been much affected with severe
diarrhoea, and some had not been able to attend to their
work for two or three days at a time ; they were at a
great loss to know what :hey should attribute so serious
a malady to, and several Medical Gentlemen attributed
their illness to something which they had taken. This
led them to inspect more closely than usual every article
of diet ; and in con%equence of reading the report of the
exposure which took place at the Mansion-house of the
adulteration of sugar, they strongly suspected that the
sugar which all the men in the factory were in the con-
stant practice art using, both in the morning and in the
evening, to sweeten their tea and coffee, was adulterated
with something that produced their illness. Yesterday
morning several of the men examined the sugar, and'
found that it contained in their opinion, great quantities,
of salt; but to be more convinced, they took the sugar
to Mr. Joyce, the eaperimentat chemist, of Old Compton-
street, who, on analysing it, ascertained that it contained
a considerable portion of salt, and suggested the idea
of applying to a Police Office.
Mr. Comma inquired at what shop the sugar was purchased ?
He was it formed that it had been purchased at a shop
in Broad-street. Golden-square, and that the grocer's
name ,was Blake. • • •
Mr. cottage! desired-,one ef, tTr aftern lir gem tiostihrirand
purchase two parcel* of the sugar; and wrote a note to Mr. Joyce,
to request his attendance.
In a short time the officer'returned with the sugar he bad ;w-
-aned; the one parcel weighed two ounces, and the other weighed
a qtiarter of a pound.
Mr. Joyce, who had by this time_ attended to the
Magistrate's request, stated that he had analysed some
sugar brought to him that morning by the two me-
chanics; he found it to be adulterated with a. great
quantity of salt. in the proportion of a fifth, or it might
be a fourth. The salt with which the sugar was adul-
terated was good salt, and gave the sugar a damp
appearance.
Mr. CONANT said, he feared that all that could be
done in the case would be, to caution the Public to be
particular in the sugar they purchased ; but he thought
it his duty to send to the grocer, and request him to at-
tend at the office.
The grocer was accordingly sent to, but the officer wbo went to
his shop was informed that he was from home.
This being the case, the mechanics and Mr. Joyce left the office
after stating their willingness to attend.when the grocer came.
Mr. Joyce, prior to leaving the office, said that the smaller pareel
of sugar was the same as that brought him by the mechanics, but
that the larger parcel was not so much adulterated.

One of the Newspapers advertises a milk walk with a
mangle to be let.. Query—Would net a milk walk and
a pump be a more natural alliance?
Futs.--Friday morning se'nnight, about one o'clock,
a stack of sainfoin took fire on the premises of Mr. Har-
nett, of Little Mongeham, near Deal. In a few mo-
ments after the fire burst forth, the whole stack was
in flames, and from the rapidity of the devouring,
element, the whole of an extensive range of farming
buildings, cern stacks, &c. was in the greatest danger
of total destruction; but by prompt assistance the fire
was confined to the stack where it originated, which was
nearly destroyed.
EXTRAORDINARY ROBIZRY..—.Mr. It. Jones reported
to the Head Police Office, that on Sunday night, abodi
the hour of eleven, he fell asleep on the Liffey WAIL
George's Quay, Dublin, and WAS robbed of a 2001. Bank
of England note, seven Bank of England notes of 101.
each, and his hat.
The Magistrates of York have sent to the tread-mill,
r for six months, a militia-man of the name of Samuel
Barnborough, for not attending the late training of the
2d West York Militia, to which he belonged. He was
seen in York a tew days previous to the training, and
again shortly after it was over, but took care to .keep
out of the way whilst the Regiment was on duty. He
was, however, apprehended by the Permanent Staff of
the Regiment a short time ago. He was also a de-
faulter at the training in 1821. The same man also
hired for the North and East Ymk Regiments of Militia,
from both which he is likewise a deserter; se that
when his six months are expired for the above offenoe,
he will be liable to six months more labour at the tread-
mill, for his desertion from the North York Militia, and
to a third period of six months, as an absentee from the
East York Militia, making together eighteen months
for his frolic.
The unfortunate persons who were buried under the
ruins of a stack of chimneys, in Tothill-street, on Mon-
day last, were last night in a fair way of doing well.
