filed against the defendant for selling to publicans " a certain
article" which greatly superseded the neceuity of using malt in
the brewing of porter. On condition that the defendant should
give up for ever manufacturing or even disposing of any more
of the article in question, and that the Crown should take a ver-
dict generally on this information the Crown had consented to
suspend any further inquiry. The Solicitor-General hoped that
