Wednesday the trial of the persons accused of having
stolen the Government Stationery, came on at the Ses-
sions House, Dublin, when William Williams, and John
M'Cormick, principals, and William Edmunds, Patrick
Turner, and theophilus Taylor, were put to the bar.
The prisoners we: e then arraigned under the charge
of conspiring fcc. to embezzle stationery from the Cus-
tom-House, Dublin—and for having, on the 16th Octo-
ber last, taken and carried away 100 quires of paper,
value one shilling each. There were supplementary
counts attached to the principal Charge.
They severally pleaded Not Guilty, and said they
were ready for trial.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case at tonsi-
-1 derable length, observing, in conclusion, that the allow-
ances of paper made to the Officers of Customs,
etceeded much more than their own consumption would
require, and it was a general practice for them to dis-
pose of or sell the surplus, which they did to Sir ABRA-
HAM BRADLEY KING. CAmazement seemed to pervade
the countenances of many of the Gentlemen in Court.]
/le (the ATTORNEY-GENERAL) should, howeuer,say that
he considered such a precedent altogether a bad one. Sir
ABRAHAM took the paper back at the same price, upon
which there was derived no profit, and such an allow-
ance went as part• of their salary. It would be proved
that they sold back to the officer much more paper than
their salary would amount to.
The prisoners were acquitted.
