Mr.. J. J. Smith, was yesterday examined be-
fore U. S. Commissioner VIM H. Clifford on

ton was continued until Saturday next. The
penalty for this offense is fine not exceeding
$1,000, or Imprisonment not exceeding five
years, or both.
This case Is sequel TO the one we published
an account Of in Wednesdays issue, of bar
rel Of molasses being stolen from seaman by
two men, who were subsequently arrested and
punished for the ofiense. 1t now appears that
Smith hired these men to convey the molasses
away. That he went down to the vessel with
them on Monday night, broke open the matches
and took out the barrel. The same night the
forecastle of the vessel was broken into, some
planks in the bulk-head removed, and several
hundred pounds of sugar stolen from a hogs
head belonging to the cargo. The barrel of
moasses which was removed by the mate, and
stolen from him by Hutchins and Curtis, was
sold by them, and was afterwards seized by
the Surveyor of the Port as struggled goods.
