.BOARD OF EXCISE, Jaw• 24.

Arthur liarmetin answered tommos issued against him, for
setailing beer without e license. Defendant stated, that he h
poverty been prevented from obtaining a Ikense ; but if tise ad by
Court
viimif.l give him indulgence for a little time, he hoped to be enabled to
procure one. The Court fined him 81. being 'double the amount of the
hi emit..
Defendant stated that he had ceased to sell for the last three months,
but the Court, on that account, did not mitigate their first award.

ADOLTRIATION or saga.
Mr. Thomas Smith, of the King's Arms, Narrow-street, Limehouse,
was charged with adulterating his beer.
Thomas Dean, General Surveyor, proved having, on the 31st. July
last, in company with Joseph Bartlett, also of the Excise, entered the
cellar of the defendant's house, and found two hums of beer on tap, to
which tLey applied the test. On the mild beer the test bad no effect,
but the stale beer became very green. Defendant told witness that
the stale beer had been in his possession for three years. Witness took
samples of defendant's beer to Messrs. Taylor and Co. brewers, Mae-
house, who supplied the defendant with beer, and procured a sample
of their stale tn-er, as like as possible to the sample of that of the de-
fendant. The brewers' sample was very sour and stale, but bad
no icon in it. Joseph Bartlett corroborated the evidence of Mr. Dean.
Mr. Blakie, storehouse clerk to Messrs. Taylor and Co. stated that
he recollected having tasted the samples brought by the above wit-
nesses ; and, as far as taste went, he did not think that there was
much the matter with the beer. Messrs. Taylor and Co. used oaken
in the brewing of their beer, with the knowledge of witness. Mr.
Michael Faraday. Director of the Laboratory of the Royal Institution,
bad analysed the samples of the beer, the particulars of which be de-
tailed. George Petty, surveying cater, stated that the draught of the
defendant was about six or seven butts a month. lie had subsequently
left the house, Defendant said the beer was waste beer, and had been
in the house for three years; as soon as he knew that the beer was
bad, he had ceased to draw it, and had sold it as waste, at a great sa-
crifice. The Court fined him in the mitigated penalty of SOL
Mr. Jesse Lowe. of St. Clement's-lane, was called upon, on a simi-
lar information.—Defendant pleaded not guilty, aid had a solicitor en-
gaged for his defence. The case for the prosecution was proved by
Thomas Heale and James Gripton, of the Excise. On the 6th of
Sept. they applied the test to stale and mild beer on the premises of
Ofte defendant, both of which changed colour by the test. Sever a 1 wit-
nesses from Moue and Co.'s brewery were examined, and Mr. Fara-
day, who proved that the beer bad been adulterated.
The Solicitor for.defendant made a long and ingenious defence, and
called several witnesses to prove that the stale beer had been in the
house when defendant took it, cos the 13th of Nay 1669, and that hav-
ing changed his brewer at that time, he had used every endeavour to
get his beer removed, and at last only succeeded by refusing to receive
any more beer from the brewer till the stale was taken sway.
The COURT fined him 1001.
Dlr. Anthony Lucas pleaded Guilty to a similar offence. He was
fined Sol.

In January, 1751, a globular bottle was blown at Leith,
capable of holding two hogsheads. Its dimensions were

THE CLERICAL Sw num.—This person, known as
the Rev. William Wheatley, has, it appears, left England
for the Continent with 2,0001. in gold in his trunk, besides
bonds and documents of the value of 50,0001. which he can
easily convert into cash. He has swindled numbers of re-
spectable tradesmen, who were completely imposed upon by
his evangelical conversation, and hie being constantly found
in his room at the White Swan, Covent-garden, reading
divine works, as " The Art of Living Holy," &c. Since
the publicity of his proceedings, a letter has been received
by the mother of the lad whom he introduced as his adopted
son, informing her that she need labour under no appro.
hensions for him, his interest being well taken care of by
the reverend swindler.—Observer.
The liberty of Havering, comprehending the parishes of
Romford and Hornchurch, with a population of 6,000 souls,
pays the annual sum of 6,0001. for tithes. The Romford
division, with a population of 4,000 souls, and paying
2,4001. annually, has no resident beneficed clergyman ; and
the curate, who receives a salary of about 1301. per annum,
for preaching one sermon weekly, is paid by the general sub-
scription of the inhabitants for a second sermon in the after-
noon. The living belongs to the Fellows of Oxford College,
who appoint a chaplain, with an income of about 1,0001. or
1,3001. a-year, who pays a curate the stipend above stated.
This chaplain, who, it is stated, holds another lucrative
living, is unknown, even by name, to the inhabitants. The
tithe collectors of the liberty, for some years pest, have been
in constant litigation with the farmers, insisting upon the
tithe of hay and lambs in kind, which the farmers contend
against, as they have paid a modus for about 200 years.
Other suits have also been commenced by the tithe own-
ers against potatoe growers ; the tithe-owners insisting that
the grower shall tithe his potatoes at the end of each day ;
while the potatoe growers point out the loss they must
sustain by this mode of tithing, as new potatoes sustain
great damage by remaining in the Ground, and it is indis-
pensable they should get as soon as possible to market. A
jury and thejudges of the Court of Eing's Bench have
decided in favour of the farmers, and the judge of the Ec-
clesiastical Court against them. A petition, explaining
these facts, has been presented to the House of Commons;
and on Thursday a meeting was held at Romford, to pre-
pare a similar petition to the Lords. The subject under-
went considerable discussion, and the petition was then
agreed to.
EXTENSIVE ROEBEET.—In the early part of the
last week, the lady's-maid in the establishment of General
Murray, No. 4, Upper Seymour-street, discovered that the
jewellery belonging to her ladyship, which was deposited in
the dressing-room of her mistress, was removed. On the
circumstance being communicated to Lady Murray, her lady-
ship declared that she had not removed them from the place
in which they were usually deposited, and it was then ascer-
tained beyond a doubt that the following valuables were sto-
len, via.—a handsome gold hunting-watch of considerable
value, with four gold seals attached, one a white cornelian,
with a figure of a woman engraved thereon ; another of the
same colour with the letters M.M ; one with a red carne-
lian, with the word Vite, and the other an amethyst ; two
gold chains—one a Venetian, in five rows, and the other
heavy, with a French gold cross attached to it ; a superb cut
coral necklace, a gold locket set with turquoise, a bird-pin
with red feathers, and a tin box containing a variety of other
very valuable articles of jewellery, amounting in the whole to
between 2001. and 3001. Suspicion at once strongly attached
itself to the servants in the house, and an active inquiry was
instantly set on foot. The boxes of the domestics were
searched, and their owners severally interrogated, but with-
out the desired effect. Avis, an active officer at Marl-
borough-street establishment, has the subject in hand, and
from certain information which he received on Saturday, be
set off for a short distance out of town to make further
inquiries into the robbery,
Tuesday a meeting was held at Rochester, of inhabitants
of the North Division of the lathe of Ayleeford, on the
subject of Parliamentary Reform—Samuel Baker, Esq. in
the Chair. A petition, praying for a reform; and a reso-
lution, declaring the opinion of the meeting that the
most efficacious mode of preserving the purity of election
is the Vote by Ballot—were unanimously agreed to. Among
the speakers on the occasion were Mr. Bentley, Mr. H.
Prentis, Mr. C. Larkin, Mr. Schnebbellie, the Rev. Dr.
Joynes, and Mr. James Smith.
DEATH OF NATHANIEL Gow.—On Wednesday Na-
thaniel Gow, the, well-known Scottish violinist and
composer of many of the popular national airs of Scot-
laird, expired at his *use in Edinburgh, after a,
painful illness of several years. In his ,latter days, Mr. Gow,
had enjoyed a pension from King GeolV,,,who it will be recol-
lected, treated him with some maks of Royal condeeninsion,
on observing him at the head of his hand in Dalkeith House
in 1822.

BERKSHIRE CHRONICLE, JAN. 22.
At the late great Berkshire Meeting to petition for Parliamentary
Reform, after the general resolutions were carried, Mr. Mooch said,
that he bad now to call the attention of the meeting to a resolution
on the subject of vote by ballot. He apprehended that it would not be
said, that there was any thing new in this proposition of voting
by ballot, though that mode of taking votes had certainly not
yet been applied to elections for members of Parliament in this
country. In the ancient free republics • similar plan of voting
was followed, and the wise and good of those times never fan-
cied that there was any thing degrading in the pierce •
it would raise the character of our aristocracy, by showing them the la.
utility of wealth and 'tattoo when unaccompanied by virtue and pod
conduct. The hon. gentleman then coseluded by morng a resoludee
to the effect, that vote by ballot was the surest means of
for the free and independent exmclas of the elective franchrlig
Marsh supported the resolution, observing, that it had been found to
answer extremely well in America;; anethat the late success of the
people in France could never have been achieved without the right of
secret voting. The Earl of Radnor expressed his general cow
currents in the argument embodied in the petition. He thouOt the
ballot would put a stop both to general and to individual briWy.—
It was said that the system was un.English. Indeed ? Why, it was
that which all of them were doint every day. In conclusion, he stated
that as the arguments in favour of ballot were infinite, he 'Laid cer-
tainly held up his hand in favour of the resolution. Mr. Whebleg:,
posed as an amendment, a resolution to this effect—" That no Re
coulebe practical, rational, and efficient, without the vote by ballot."
Mr. Fyshe Palmer said that for many years he had found it
difficult to reconcile himself to vote by ballot. He wee now as
favourable to vote by ballot es to any other of what he believed
to be essential points of this important question. He could
state from his own experience that under the present system a roan fre-
quently ran the risk obeing ruined if he exercised independently this
acknowledged and valuable right, and he was free to confess that if it
were offered to him to have vote by ballot only on condition that the
statutes against bribery should be repealed, he would say at ones, and
without hesitation, "Burn your bribes y sets and welcome, so that you
give me vote by ballot."
Mr. Hula thezruer then put the resolution, which was tarried
amidst loud acclamations.
Mr. Budd said that Mr. Dundee had represented the county for many
years, but be had always been a dumb dog (laughter), and they wanted
some one who would speak, to press the opinions of the county upon
the house. Mr. Denim (continued the boo. gentleman) thee put the
weed Refbros " upon his chair at an election but in a few months
after he said to me, You reformers." " Yon reformers," said I;
" why ain't you a reformer 1 " " No," said be, " not ens of your kind
of reformers." (Laughter.) Mr. C. Dundee said, that the fact was, his
good friend Mr. Budd was a radical reformer, and he (Mr. Dundee))
certainly was not. Mr. Budd knew this very well, and this was what
Mr. Budd complained of. With regard to vote by ballot, be weuM
state now, lest any man should hereafter accuse him at pen.
tieing deception on the subject, that although he had heard a pod deal
about the ballot, he had not made up his mind upon it.

REPORT OF THR COMMITTEE.
The first plan which the Committee teak into their consideration,
was the peinility of devoting, in execution of the resolution of the
vestry, a portion of the Wash tor the purposes of spade husbandry.l
This, it apposes, can be done under attain limitations, by a grant from
the Lord of the Manor, and hem a particular majority a the owners of I
land and houses within the parish. And, in furtherance of this Pao,
the following was suggested, that three different plots of groun on
the Wash Common, be selected as applicable to the purposes of spode
husbandry, amounting to about twenty acres together, and that the most
industrious men be Wed for the purpooe of enclosing end digging,
which may be dons for about four pounds by the sere, and that it fret
by tender.
The second plan was that of hiring or leasing land for the papose
aforesaid ; there is no manner of doubt but that this can be dame seder
the provisions of the Act of 69 Geo. lIL 22.1112.-
The third plan was that of hiring or hi a brick kiln, and sank.
ing bricks; the provisions of the same Act w I extend to this
The eligibility of this plan Is very apparent in the seise; Whet
if bricks are made, It will be the means of building homes, for the re.
eeption of the poor in particular. In the statement of the overseers are.
counts for the last year, it will be seen there is the enormous sum of
267 L le. 4d. paid foe rents.
The labourers employed in the workhouse garden of St. Helen's pa.
rah, in taking out the gravel, have, within these few days, discovered
seedy thirty skeletons, in a high state of preservation ; the teeth were
shiest invariably sound and white; the shallowness of the graves, sod
the Insplar position of the bones, indicated a hasty interment after a
beetle. If this conjecture be eruct, those are the remains of some, mat

THE ENNISKILLINER, JAN. 19.

About four o'clock on Sunday evening, (the oth), owing to the sudden
thaw and the immense quantity of snow which fell upon the mountains
and begs between Bloomfield and Osevagh, part of the high bog belong.
ing to Abraham Martin, faq gave way, and relied before the mountain
torrent in tremendous quantities, covering many acres of tillage and re.
claimed meadow, and doing incalculable damage wherever it marked ha
furious way ; the bog burst about a quarter of a mile from the
road, and chiefly taking a small stream which divided Mr. Savage's
pp oputy from Mr. Nicholson's as ha guide, overwhelmed the country
for it disuna of at lent two miles, to the breadth of several hundred
yards on either side, carrying in hs destructive course the contents of
about 100 acres of bog, turf, heath, stone, timber, &c. representing a
chaos quite out of the power of any one, without seeing, to imagine;
about a quarter of a mile from where it burst, it crossed the road
leading from Bloomfield to St. James's Well, and carried it away
from below the foundation, for the breadth of two hundred yards. It has
carried away a considerable extent of a new road which, Mr. Martin
was making through thrbog, chiefly to give employment to the poor,
and has substituted in its stead a wide and deep ravine. One man named
M`liim had a narrow escape, as it branched off before it came to his
house on both sides of it, and joined again shortly after it had passed it.
This man, and a man named M'Donagh, have been the greatest suf.
ferers in the immediate neighbourhood of where it burst. Whole acres
of reclaimed land have been lost for ever; toads completely carried away
from ten and Sheen feet below their foundation, and on the spot where
oats bad been reaped, and potatoes dug in harvest last, nothing to be
seen to-day but frightful and yawning chums awful to contemplate.

CALEDONIAN MERCURY, bat. 20.
The following is an extract of the report of George Stephenson: Rata. I
Civil Engineer, on Line of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Leith Railway :
In collecting the necessary information, my attention was, in the first
instance, naturally directed to the two lines which have been partieu-
tarty surveyed for a railway—the one by Mr. Judins, which may be
denominated the old or south line—the other by Messrs. Grainger and
Miller, which may be distinguished as the new or north line.
With respect to length, it appears that there is a difference of two
miles in favour of the north line to the same point at the Broomielaw.
The summit level of the south line, as shown on the section, is 804 het,
whilst that of the north line is 635 feet. It spirants, therefore, that even
if the two lines were of equal length, it would be necessary to reduce
the summit level from 804 feet to 535 feet, in order to render the one
line capable of being worked as cheaply as the other; and this redaction
of the summit would involve the necessity of a deep cutting and tunnel-
ling, for a distance of seven miles ; and the nature of the ground on
the west side of the summit, even beyond the end of the tunnelling,
appears by tbe section, to be such as not to allow of its being paved,
by mesas of inclined planes.
After erasing the summit, the line stretches forward towards the
Gamitirk Railway, through a country, which, as far as my observation
has extended, is the best that can be obtained.
The line then proceeds along the Garnkirk Railway, which presents a
fine.kvel surface for the distance of Ave miles—diverges from the Gam-
kirk Railway before arriving at the west end thereof—descends the pro-
tected tunnel under the city of Glasgow, and terminates at the Bromide.
kw, in an extremely eligible situation, for the purpose of shipping and
anshipping goods into and out of vessels lying in the Clyde. With
respect to the formation of the tunnel, no appahensiooa need be enter.
tained„„as it is a plain practicable work, unattended danger or an-
noyance to the houses or other property under which it may pass.
It is urged in favour of the south line, that it passes through a rich cool
and iron field, and that the north line does not. But any advantage
which this circumstance may give to the south line will, I imagine, be
esncelled by the disadvantage arising from the nacuity of raising al.
most all the minerals, from the points at which they are obtained, up to
the main line whereas the branches which weed be made from the
Benhar and other coal fields, and front the Hatbgate and other lime
works, to Join the new line, would descend towards it. The desirability
of passing through the western coal field, admitting that, under other
circumstances, it would be advisable to sacrifice something to accomplish
this, is very much diminished by the circumstance of the Wiabaw and
Columns, and the Monkland and Eirkintulloth Railway: 413
through a antral portion of the rich mineral district of Lanark
connecting it with Glasgow, by mesas of the Osenkirk Railway.
Though not pretending to say, from my own personal lauded. es
the subject, what will be the probable revenue arising from the
of goods between Edinburgh and Glasgow, or from the cards's=
between Leith and the Broomielaw, and ug the intennoisbahlonho
