APPENDIX TO CHRONICLE. 345 



parcels, to his recollection. He 

 saw him at other times. He was 

 not paid for the mixture on 

 delivery. He received some 

 halfpence at the defendant's shop, 

 for which he had been sent by 

 John Malins. It was not said 

 what this money was for. Did 

 not believe the defendant gave 

 him the halfpence : to the best of 

 his recollection it was a young 

 man in the shop. John Malins 

 sent witness to the defendant for 

 some paper bags, and other 

 paper and string. He then saw 

 him, and received from him the 

 bags and paper. These bags and 

 paper were to put up the imita- 

 tion tea. He afterwards delivered 

 these bags, filled with the imita- 

 tion tea, at the defendant's shop. 

 Remembers subsequently taking 

 a quantity of the imitation tea to 

 Mr. Malins', in Russell-street. It 

 was sold to grocers at the west 

 end of the town. When he took 

 it there, it was taken up to the 

 top of the house. Of this first 

 quantity he took none to the 

 defendant. He afterwards carried 

 some more to Russell-street, 

 which was also taken to the top 

 of the house, about one hundred 

 weight and three quarters ; from 

 this quantity he carried 53 lb. 

 weight to the house of the 

 defendant's porter, by the desire 

 of Mr. Malins, as the defendant 

 did not wish it to come to his 

 house ; it was in paper parcels at 

 7 lb each. 



Cross-examined. — He was first 

 employed by Proctor at the latter 

 end of April, 1817; the leaves 

 were then coming out ; he was 

 ordered to get as many leaves as 

 he could, and employed Bagster 

 to assist him. Was not told what 



the leaves were for till a month 

 after; Proctor told him in the 

 month of June. He was shown 

 the way to make the fabricated 

 tea by Mr. John Malins and Mr. 

 Proctor, and was ordered to assist 

 in the manufacture. Was engaged 

 in this way two months or ten 

 weeks. They made a great many 

 pounds in May. It was common 

 for grocers to sell bags and paper; 

 witness was not told by Mr. 

 Malins what the bags were for, 

 which he got from the defendant. 

 He had no conversation with him 

 on the subject. He could not 

 say how many bags he got: there 

 might be 50. It was in May he 

 took the parcels of tea to the 

 defendant's house; part before 

 and part after he got the bags. 



On being re-examined to this 

 point, he said it must have been 

 after he got the bags that he took 

 the parcels ; it was a mistake 

 when he said part before and part 

 after. When he carried the 

 parcels, he saw a young man in 

 the shop. Did not know his 

 name. He might be about twenty 

 years of age. He was middle- 

 sized, about five teet high. He 

 saw Mr. Palmer afterwards in 

 Northumberland-alley. He did 

 not then tell him he had taken 

 the parcels of imitation tea to his 

 house, or have any conversation 

 with him. It was in August or 

 the latter end of July he took the 

 .56 lb. to the person whom he 

 described as the defendant's 

 porter. He had said that he was 

 not paid for the teaby Mr. Palmer. 

 Thought the halfpence was part 

 payment, but was not certain. 

 The porter lived in Boundary- 

 court. James Malins told him 

 he was Mr. Palmer'* porter, and
