sold any of the powder alluded to as Cpffee ; it was
called American Vegetable Powder. The bill pro.
deied (eutitled " Vegetable Powder, being a, whole-
some and nstridoes,breakflit, manufaCtured only by
W. Matins, at lii. 2d. per lb.") applied to ._,different
powder to that he had been describing. The latter
powder, sold as" Vegetable Powder," was made of
Indian wheat and peas roasted and ground tpgetber.
—fie had seen some bills for the American Powder,
but never saw any powder packed up in them. Wit-
hers way himself at present a coffee-roister.. lie had
had no quarrel With his master. 4.:; •
Thomas Jones lived with the Defendant about
three weeks, towards the latter end of July and
August last. His occupation was roasting and grind-
ing peas and beans. They looked when ground the
same as coffee. He had seen Mr. John Malins sweep
up the refuse coffee, and anis it with the peas sad
beans. fie had taken. out this mixture to grocers.—
Among others, to._Mr. Palmer, Red Lion-street,
Whitechapel ; to Mr. Gray, in Bisbomate-stroet ;
to Mr. Hall, in Git:ialAine; to Messrs. itelei and
Holmes, Ratcliffe.highteay ; and to several .tbers.
Ills master always sold it ai a vegetable jko*dar; but
not as,coffee.
J. Richardson, an Excise-officer, deposed, that in
Consequence of information which he received in De:
comber, 1817, be went to the premises of the De-
fendant, in Northumberland-alley, Fenchurcb.street,
and there seized four sacks, five tubs, anti 91b. in
paper, of a mixed vegetable powder, made to re-
semble coffee. The quantity ground was 1,5671 b.;
it had all the appearance of coffee, and a little coffee
being mired. with it, any common person might be
deceived. He also seised two sacks, containing
2791 b. of whole peas and beans roasted. Among the
latter were some grains of coffee.—(The witness
here produced samples of the articles seised.)
John Lewes deposed, that the articles produced
were such as he was in the habit of manufacturing
while in Mr. Matins' employment.
The Jury found a Verdict for the Crown.—Pe-
nalty 1001.

THE ATTORNEY-I:MURAL V. T. WARD.
This was en information filed against the Defend-
ant, a respectable brewer, at Leicester; and the de-
claration contained various counts, which imputed to
the Defendant the offence—first, of being a vinegar-
maker without a licence; nest, the having 3,950
gallons of vinegar in a certain enentered store-house;
and, lastly, with selling the said vinegar without
paying the duty upon it as vinegar. It appeared
that the Defendant bad, in 18124 brewed a large
quantity of porter, Which he placed in a store-vat to
improve by age. In 1816 this liquor became sour,
and unfit for use as porter. It was in cdnsequence
suffered to remain until it became more sour, and
was then sold to various grocers as a tgar, being in
quality equal to what is sold as vinegar, under the
title of No. 18, by the regular vinegar manufacte-
rers.—A special verdict was taken from the Jury,
which was, " That the Defendant brewed the li-
quor in question as porter, but that upon its becom.
ing sour he sold it as vinegar without paying the duty,
or taking out a licence ■s a vinegar dealer."—The
penalties recovered amounted to 5401.

It may, perhaps, not be amiss on this occasion
to give to our readers a piece of advice given by a
retired grocer to a friend at no distant period :
v• Never, my good fellow," he said, " purchase
from a grocer any thing which passes through bis
mill. Yo• know not what you get iestead of the
article you espect to receive—coffee, pepper, and
mustard, are all mined with substances which detract
from their own natural qualities." Persons keeping
mills of their own cao at all times prevent these im•
positions.
