LAZY INTELLIGENCE. .

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
ATTORNEY CERRSRAL O. MANN.
On Satnrday IA was tried at Weßminfier Hall,
?afore the Chief Baron of the Exchequer and a Spe-
cial Jury, a caufe of confiderahle importance tn the
Stamp Revenue, and alfo to the Mercantile World.
It has been the practice with many perfons to open
Policies of Infirrance on (hips and cargoes on poli-
cies unflamped, and in fome cafes on flips or memo-
randums only, by which the Revenue was not only
defrauded of the duty on lea policies, but the inter-
ens of the affitred left unprotefted. The Ratute of
the 35 h of Gen. 111. impofed a penalty on the all
lured as well as the affurer and broker for effecting
inftirances in this way, and the prefent cattle was an
information filed by the Attorney General at the in-
fiance of the Commiffioners of Stamps againft the
defendant, who is a merchant at Hull, for making
two infurances on an importation of deals from
Narva to Hull, on policies not Ilampt, whereby he
had incurred two penalties of fool. each. The So•
licitor General reprefented the great defalcation that
had been'occafioncd to the Revenue by Oleic practices;
land having proved his cafe, he Rated, that the objeCt
of the prelim profectuion being to prevent a conti
nuance of the praCtice, he fhinld decline taking more
, than one penalty, hoping it would have the &fired
effect ; at the fame time he declared, that fhould the
law be again broken in upon, the penalties wr.uld be
enforced to the fulleß extent, as well againtt the per•
tons infuring as the affurer and broker. The Jury
I immediately gave a verdict for one penalty of 5001.

A confiderable dißurbance occurred on Friday in

the neighbourhood of Moor fields, which was ocCA•
fioned by the ffilowing circumltance :—A youngeoun
to girl palling through the fields, between twelve and
one in the day, was accolled by two men, who entered
into converfation with her. She innocently told them
that fhe bad come to town in order to get into fervice,
and that the wished very much to be engaged.—They
afTured her that they knew a lady who wanted afer-
vant from the country, that they had no doubt but
that fhe would fuit her, and that fire would find it an
excellent places By reprefenrations of this kind, die
girl was pea loaded to accompany them to Ropemaker-
, ltreet, ne.tr Finthory-fquare, where they took her to
a houfe of bad fame. She had icarcely entered when
the began to fufpeet their intentions, but they forced
her up (lairs. Her cries, however, alarmed tlih„
neighbourhood ; a crowd loon collected, and thole
within barricaded the door, but it was quickly forced
open, and the girl was let at liberty. The inhabitants
and vilitants retreated by a back door, and efcared
from the indignation of the populace, but the bottle
was almoll entirely dcmolilhed. The furniture was
torn to pieces, and nut a door or window was left
!landing.
