TYSACK V. HILL

A case of considerable interest to auctioneers and
others was heard before C. Crompton, ESQ., on Saturday.
Mr. James was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ramshay for
the defendant. The action was one of tracer, and was
brought by Mr. Thomas T. Tysack, a schoolmaster and
lodging-house keeper, against Mr. Joseph Hill, auc-
tioneer, Hanover-street. The declaration set forth that
the plaintiff was possessed of a quantity of goods, which
he casually lost, and which the defendant found and con-
verted to his own use. Defendant admitted that lie had
converted a certain quantity of the articles—household
furniture—and paid a shilling into court as compensation
for the damage. The plaintiff did not admit that this was
sufficient compensation. There were several other issues,
resolving themselves into the fact that the plaintiff was
possessed of the residue of the goods, which had been re-
turned to him ; and that the other part had been con-
verted with his leave and authority. There were twenty-
five witnesses, fifteen for the plaintiff and ten for the
defendant. It appeared that in December, 1844, plaintiff
occupied a house in Sussex-street, but being in difficul-
ties, and anticipating a distraint, he entrusted his furni-
ture to a man named Smith, and it was removed to another
house, in Lowther-street, to which plaintiff also went,
and continued to keep lodgers. In April last Smith went
to the house with bailiffs, seized the coods as his own,
left them at the defendant's, and confided them to his
care. Defendant then received notice that they were the
property of the plaintiff, and that if he disposed of them
he should be held responsible. Being, however, otherwise
instructed by Smith, he sold the greater part of them. A
few of them were afterwards sent back to the plaintiff,
with the shilling for compensation. The learned counsel
said the jury had nothing to do with the conduct of the
plaintiff with respect to his creditors, but merely the
question as to the rightful owner of the goods. On the
part of the defendant, it was shown that Smith had pur-
chased the goods from the plaintiff for £32, and that the
sale was directed by the proper owner. An inventory of
the articles had been made out, and a receipt for the mo-
ney stated was signed by plaintiff. Tne sale by auction
produced £l9, and Mrs. Tysack was present, and pur-
chased some of the articles. The jury, after an absence
from the court of ten minutes, returned a verdict for the
defendant.

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE.
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE
TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black-Teas, produced
on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from
the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength,
peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper prc—
portions, they comprise all that is desirable.in-Tea. This
discovery was not the effect of chanceetint of many great
advantages united in one individ , and the result of
numerous experiments and t most minute analysis.
For another to produce the e result, he must possess
equal skill, the same disc • inating taste, equal power of
procuring the forty va, ous Teas required, and know the
exact proportions of ach kind used—arid though he may
never once have vi ed China, he must have had equal
opportunities of securing to himself, its productions :
with one, who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there
in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How-
qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the
secret of compounding his Mixture.
Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell
tea, they call " Ho%qua's Mixture "—each mixture dif-
fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ONE
REAL " Howqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif-
ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The
499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority
of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose
that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight
Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that
country, would be so silly—even were it possible—as to
yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable
a secret.

The very great celebriety this Tea has acquired, having
tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or
nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to
guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe
that " THE SIGNATURE THUS,"
Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING,
Honourable Company's Service,
is on every genuine Package.

To those who drink Green Tea, " Captain Pidding's
Howcria's Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one
estate, is recommended for its strength and economy, and
as being the purist and most wholesome Green Tea im-
ported from China.
