TI lt St,

Outtnnst.L.—The fullowinz cireemitances trans-
pired yesterday before Sir 111Maus Leirhton, she
re-ecansituation of a fellow unused George
Row-
den

In the course of his Linty on Sunday last, Turupennv,
the officer, met the pkisoner at six o'clock in the
morning, in Aklersgate•street, carrying a heavy bundle,
which, when stopped by the officer, he said contained
a piece of beef for his dinner ; on examination, how-
ever, it turned out to he a large loaf of sugar, weigh-
ing upwards of ft/lbs.—The prisoner would give no
satisfactory account how be becau►e possessed of the
property, but begged earnestly to be let go off, and
offered to give Turnpeony the sugar if he would
permit his escape. This conduct, by no means indi-
cative of innocence, ceufinnesl the officer's suspicions,
and he accordingly conveyed him to the Coulter.
Here the prisoner turned obstinate, refusing to give
any account of himself, either as to where he bulged,
or who were his employers, and the officer left the pri-
soner to make his inquiries, with no other due than
that of the name the fellow had given in. By dex-
trous management, Turnpenny succeeded in thecourse
of the day in discovering his lodgings, at No. 12,
Hatfield-street, Aldersgate-street ; he searched them
and found another loaf of sugar of similar site, which
the prisoner's wife at first refused to give any account
of, but on being threatened to he taken to prison her-
self, she at length confessed that her husband brought
it home on the Saturday night. Neither threat or
intreaty, however, could pre►ail on her to tell where
her husband worked. 'this was soon learnt, and
Turnpeuny conceived he had completed his case, when
he found the prisoner was porter in the employ of
Messrs. Chandler and Tilden, sugar refiners,
brook ; but when Mr. Wildett appeared before the Ma-
gistrate on Mon fay, although lie thought it highly
improbable that the prisoner should have become pos-
sessed of the property Isoneitly, he knew nothing of
the gam's, they were not their manufacture, nor stolen
from them, nor could he from the marks say whose
manufacture they, were.
The prisoner's defence was, the stale story of having
bought the sugar of a man he did not know. lie was
then remanded.

Tnrnpennv then commenced a general inquiry in
the trade, hut after occupying nearly the a hole day,
and visiting almost every sugar.honse in town, re.
turned without the slightest infornistion respecting
the property in question. Thus disappointed, it oc-
curred to him that he must he on the wrung scent,
and that the goods had been sissleis from souse retail
dealer. Accordingly he commenced anew, beginning
with the grocers in the immediate neighbourhood of
the prisoner's lodgings: and yesterday morning, a
short time only before the priso.o.e was to be brought
up fur re-examination? found an owner for the pro-
perty, in Mr. Smith, a grocer, in Aldersgate-street.
Mr. Smith stated before the Magistrate, that in
consequence of Turpenny's inquiry, heexansined a lot
of sugar he lead received in on Wednesday last, and
found two loaves dedeieut ; he had examined the
loaves in the potsessiow of the otficer, and found thesis
precisely similar to those he had lost. The Rue paper
in which they were wrapped up was the mine as his
loaves, were always wrapped ;it
paper made in Wales, and used only
beam he dealt with i be aitsatid her*

baker would be able to swear positive!,
manufacture.

Mr. Smith is wholly unacquainted with the prisoner,
and at present has no suspicion how he gut pomades
of the property. The prisoner was ordered to be
brought up main to-morrow.
Harrov-liAusesi.—Yreterday a man, who said he
lived in 19, Somer's-street, Back-hill, was brought
up fur examination in the custody of au Excise officer
on the following charge :--The officer stated th'at he
received information that the prisoner was in the ha-
bit of making up a certain composition made of mo-
lasses, course sugar, And poisonous drugs, which he
sold in gallon jars to publicans, for the purpose of
making two bens of porter into three, and which the
prisoner himself undertook to perform, with the addi-
tion of *rater. He produced a stone-gallon fall atlas
deleterious mixture which he found on the prisoner
when he took him into custody, and as it was an of
fence for which the prisoner was subject to a pushy
of five hundred pounds, he (the officer) wished the
Magistrate would hold him in custody until he *msd
sufficient bail, or could be legally proctiletl 14a.11){;l

Mr. flooding, landlord of the Falcon and Computes,
