LAW INTELLIGENCE.

An action was yesterday brought in the Court of Exchequer
agalust Mr. Hoar iluev (now a prisoner in Ilchester pot) for
having established a manufactory of Radical Coffee, made fn. trt
dried rye, and ground like coffee.—The SOIJCIIOII GINZEt. A I. was
beard for the Crown.—An Officer of the Excise stated that he
'went In Febnrary last to the defendant's factpry, in Broadway,
near Christ Church, Surrey, and bought 261hs of the mi.!! in
question, for which he paid d. per pound : the witness was ac-
companied by other officers, who immediately seized an iron Lr-
nace, some roasters, and 206 lbs. of powder like coffee, aid
1,4691b5. of roasted rye, which, if ground, would be the same
as the powder.—Mr. Fine addressed the Jury for Mr. Iluev,
observing, that ft would be monstrous to say, in any country we ti
of Russia or Turkey, that a poor man should go without his
breakfast, rather than make it of a wholesome and cheap beve-
rage, manufactured from grain cf our own production, and which
tended to relieve the agricultural interest of the kingdom, which
it was known Laboured under the greatest distress. It was very
much the same as if it were sought to recover a penalty from a
man who, because be could not afford to drink wine, had re-
galed himself with porter. The Learned Counsel 'then called
the son of Mr. Holm who swore that his father never called the
breakfast powder cojir, and that he desired the witness never to
call it so.—lt was admitted by the Excise Officers, who made
the seizure, that the breakfast powder was not called by the de-
fendant, or his servants, either coffee, or an imitation of coffee :
but it was held by the Coca:, that it clearly came under the
meaning of the Act of the 43d of the late King, as an article
which might be used as a substitute for coffee ! The defendant
was therefore convicted in two penalties of £lOO each, the one
for making, and the other for selling the article.
At the Middlesex Sessions, yesterday, Mr. Anortnes moved
the Court that Articles of the Peace might be exhibited against
Sir J. G. Caawroan, to keep the peace against Mr. and Mrs.
GAMMON, proprietors of Griellon's Hotel. Sir Suits, who wet
brought up from the House of Correction in the custody of Mr.
Anxtxs, the Governor, said, he had had only twenty-fours So-
Lice, and consequently he was unprovided with Legal Advice.
Ile proceeded in a violent strain against the Kum of FRANCE,
and his Ambassador, the Duke de CAZZS ; when the Cwssa:tstt
interfered, and directed the matter to stand over.

THE HERMIT IN LoNoom.—Those persons, and
there are many, who have been disappointed in ob-
taining this delightful Work, will be pleased to hear, that a New
Edition, completely revised and compressed into three Volumes,
is just ready for publication. Who the Author of these Papers
is, still remains a secret; but no one can for a moment doubt
that he has long been familiar with the highest and most glitter-
ing circles, which he describes with an ease so graceful, and sa-
tirizes with a humour so genial and free from gall: yet it is
equally evident that his study of the gayest ranks has not injured
his sympathies for those
_sorrows which are the common lot of
his species, or for these errors which destroy the happiness which
'nature. offers. Light and airy as most of his delineations are,
I there is more real heart in them than in many works professedly
sentimental ; mid he often makes us feel seriously and intensely,
while he is captivating us by the prismatic hues, in which 69 sets
many-coloured life before. us.
