TBL KING V. BASSDERs
The defendant had been convicted by the Magistrates,
of Kent, of having had a quantity of smuggled geneva
la his house..
• Mr.'PLarr argued, that the conviction ought to be
- quatlied, on the ground that there was no evidence of
the spirits having been lathe defendant's house with his
revised, or knowledge of the goods: being run goods.
/be ,Sot.settoa-Gemaaaf., on the other hand, cod.;
„wed that the house being the defendant's, there was
sjaimai facie evidence, which the defendant was bound
ode titan he did sot rebut it, and therefore the Ma-
very properly convicted. As to the goods
3 ,ruts goods, the Magistrates, who were- the same
tlateit ury, of the county of Kent, bad decided that the
threeand a half gallons, in a half anker, were run goods.
Mr. PLATT replied, and contended strenuously, thatl
the tub or anker was not evidence of the goods being
run•goods, but placed his chief reliance on the absence
• of she defendant from his house when the goods were
seired. The person who had run away might hive come
with the spirits to sell them to the defendant's wife, and
left them there, on finding that the officers had come, •
