IMPORTANT TO SNUFF TAKERS,

COURT OF RICH EQU CR.—Bier u 'TAT.
TUC KING V. TRIEBNER.
1111% BROUGHAM moved, on the part of the defendant,
for a new trial. The calm, he said, was ao information
against the defendant for offences committed against the
Excise Laws, and bad been tried before Baron Bullock,
in the Sittings after last Term, when the Jury found a
verdict for the Crown on the first, second, and fourteenth
counts in the information. The two first counts were
for mixing earth, clay, and sand with snuff, for which
the penalty was 2001. on each count. The fourteenth
count was for having more stock than he had credit for
in the Excise officer's hook, for which the pen thy was
100/. The verdict, as it app)led to the fourteenth count,
was not sought to be disturbed ; but the verdict on the
twa first counts was clearly erroneous, as there was oo
evidence given of the defendant having mixed earth, clay,
and sand with snuff, although there was evidence thy.
be had snuff which was so mixed in his possession, for
which offence there were two separate couata in thelo-
formation. The offenceof mixing earth, clay and seed
with sooff. and having such mixed snuff in possession,
were quite as distioct as forging a bank note. and bow-
jog a forged note In possession ; and as there was no
evidence of the mixing, the verdict found an the counts
in width it was charged, ought to be set aside.
Mr. Baron lIIII.LocK said he recollected that 'on die trial
the Jury were Co satisfied with the evidence that they pre-
vented his charging them.
Mr. Ba*vonsat said he would admit that there *as strong
evidence of thg defendrut having the mixed snuff in his
possession.
- The l'ounV observed. that the Attioney-Generat would
probably-apply to have the record of 'the "verdict amended.
by applying it to the counts In the information, which
been sustaioed by the evidence.
Mr. BROUGHAM said. even by that proceeding his client
would be a considerable gainer. as the peualties fur having
the mixed snuff in possession were SW for each offence.
instead of 2UW., and by such a modification of the verdict,
the whole Da:tattles against the defendant would be 4J1.2. In-
stead. of ISO4f. •

Sir eitaiSTOnliEß. litoniNsON..fe gluing aisjuagenent,
took occasion to regret that the deed of separation (which
probably might have thrown some light upon particular
parts of the history of this este, where information was
Wanting) had not been annexed to the libeL • Upon that
libel itself, the Court was of opinion that Mr. Barker
had not shown sucli injuries to have been sustained by
him, by reason of his wife's misconduct, as would maid..
hint to the.protect!cro or interposition of the Court. The
learned Judie, therefore, pronounced that Mr. Barker
had failed in proof, and dismissed Mrs. Barker frum the
suit.

PROST V. HAYWARD.
rh. Ltruitrittiors stated that this was a suit promoted
by the Rev. Mr. Prohv, Rector of the parish of Ariel:en-
fant, agaimit the defendant, who was a market gardener
in the parish. for t'e idistraction of tithes.
The officer of the Court stated that the defendant was
present, and prayed' mini admitted to plead as a pauper.
Sir C. Roof Naos/ asked the defendant whether he was
worth fire pounds &boreal! his• lawful debts? The defend-
sot declared that be was trot.
Dr. LUSHINOTON suggested that tho• defendant was
particularly examined,. it might appear that fie was nut
entitled to the privilege of pleading as a pauper.
Sir C. IlloasysoN expressed his reitilinrss to pot may
questions the Learned Doctor woohl suggest for that per-
pose.—The defendant was accordingly examined, when
it appeared that he rented four and a half aims of ground
in the parish of Twickenham, for 501. a.vear ; hilt that
Ilia was unable to pay the full rent, and ban borroWed 251.
for the purpose of Hying the last year's rent, as a security
for a hich ha had deposited the lease of his ground. which
lease, however, he considered of no value. He worked
hie gardebtrionsetf, never employing msre than one man,
and that only for a abort time. Ile lived in a cottage in
the garden. but had lately let it to a clergyman, who
was in a bad state of health, arid for the cottage and
attendance paid 11.13. a week. Himself and his wife,
and eight children, layiin a sinall out-house, that they
might let the cottage, to enable !ilia to pay the rent and
tithe. •
Mr.' Lovarsar here said, that if the poor man was ad.;
mined to pl-ad as a pauper, he was willing to act for
!dui as a Proctor. The unfortunate man bad made every
effort in his power to satisfy the Rector, without effect:
the fithea were abstracted since alichaelmas, and he bad
offeled either to pat• 5f., or to leai,e Vie snot he shonlil pay
to two persons to be mutually appointed ; but every otter
•it was in his power to make had been retuned.
Sir C. RouiNsoa: said there appeared to be such a die-
positioß.Fn•tthe party to satisfy his Rector, that he would
let the cais stand over, in the expectation that an agree-
itteutmight take place.

On the 23J if MAY, threOlecerif looking lads came
into Mr. ILutletlge's, the gitlastatith, !co. 33. Lndgate-
hill, under the pretence of cheapening a brooch, that
was in the window.—They were a long time bargaining
as to price, and, at length, left the shop without buying
any thing.—Shortly after their depirture, and before
any other customer had been in the shop, two gold
watches, out of eight, which Lad been, at the time,
upon the counter, were missing. &Way last the pri-
soner was taken into custody.
Before the Magistrate, the prisoner denied ever bay-
ing been in Mr. liontletige's shop.
Ills father said, be hall run away from him npwanls
of three weeks ago, and he feared had fbrused bad eon-
nections.
The prisoner was remanded, that farther inquiry
might be made respecting the property and his-compa-
nions.

Bow-s-ritErr.—A gentlemanly looking yoneg Man,
who give his name Charles Campbell, was brought before
ti. It. MixsnuLL, Esq., on Saturday, charged with hav-
ing obtained certain goods under false and fraudulent
pretences, (ram Messrs. White and Hervey, of Blackfri-
ars-road, linen-drapers.
Messrs. White and Hervey deposed, that on Wednes-
day last, they received a now by-the two-penny post, of
which the folloising is a copy :
-" Oentleinen,—l beg to be informed whether my late
father, Ueneral Campbell, whose dissolution took place
abroad, is indebted to your firm. If he is, you will have
the goodness to send a statement of your. account to his
solicitor, Mr. Tyler, of Farnivars-Inn, in order that it
may be examined and discharged. At the same time, as
I am in want of someirish shirting cloth, I will thank
you to send six or eight pieces for my inspection imme-
diately.
" I am, &c. " CHARLES CASITaILt.„
" No. 2, Edgna:e-road."
Upon receiving this note, Messrs. White and Hervey,
who had been in the habit of dealing with tieneral Camp-
bell, of Stanmore, took it for granted that the writer
was a son of his, and seat eight pieces of Irish cloth us
his house as requested. The messenger sawthe prisoner,
who desired the goods might be left ; and Messrs. White
and Hervey, having no idea that he would have wanted
more than a piece or two, became suspicions that all was
not right ; and upon inquiry it turued oat so ; for they
found that their customer, Gauen! Campbell, was Dot
dead ; and also that the prisoner was in no way related
to him. Under these circumstances, Mr. Hervey called
npoo the prisoner, and without letting him know his sus-
picions, asked him how be liked the Irish cloth ? The
'prisoner replied, that it was all very well, but not fine
enough ;It was only fit for ladies' wear, and he had sent
four pieces of it to his sisters at Hoglefielifireen, and be
now wooed five or six pieces of the very finest they bad
in the house, for his own wear. 111 r. Hervey :promised
him they should be sent, and took an uppermost), of ask-
ing him if his fatber was the tieseral Campbell who re-
sided at Staismore. The prisoner answered in the Mir-
mauve, and 11/r. Hervey. upon coming away, determined
on applying to theßlagistrates.
