UPROAR AT THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S TRA SALE.
—The Tea-sale was impeded nearly an hour yesterday.
The moment the doors of the sale-room were opened,
the junior Brokers took their seats on the benches which
have been hitherto exclusively occupied by the oldest
and weal.hiest Brokers, and such is the value of these,
from their contiguity to the Chairman, that they have
been known to bring from SOU to 5001. by priva e
contract. The original occupants alleged that custom
and purchase had given them an indisputable right.—
On the other hand, the juniors contended that no part
of a public sale-ivam could be made private property,
and that as they had been excluded for a series of yews
from all participation of 10001. per annum grasted.lw
the Company to the oldest Brokers to print tea books,
which enabled them in a great measure to monopoliLe
the trade, they were determined to assert their rights.
The tumult was at length appeased by the Chairman
-(Mr. MASTIRMAN, the Bunke') prorni,ing to enquite
into the appropriation of the 10001. and Messrs.
TWINING andGILL promisingto recommend to the Court
of Directors to enlarge the Sale-room.
