Attention has already been called to the fact that sugar from China delivered in Greenock is mixed with foreign substancos, especially such as add decidedly to the weight of the packages. In further proof of this we may state that the barque Gesine Brons, of Emden, discharging a cargo from Amoy, has had the labour of bringing to this country more cargo than freight will be paid on. A quantity of broken tiles, stones, &c., were discovered along with the sagar in the bags landed on the quay. One of the stones weighed about seven pounds. As the discovery of those "make-weights" is only accidental, and while the sampler is doing his work, it may be supposed that very much will come to be separated at the refinery. The cargo of the Gesine Brons is consigned to Messrs Walker & Co.

The claim was for washing 374 pieces of clothes at $2 per 100, and for the value of an umbrella which he estimated at $3. The defendant produced a shabby. looking cotton umbrella to prove the plain- tiff's excessive valuation, but the plaintiff said he valued it at so much on account of its ribs being made of whale bone. Judg. ment was given for $9.14, the umbrella being valued by the Court at 82.
