A quantity of goods were found on board on the return of the launch to the harbour, after she had been used for pirating one or two junke up the Canton River, and the goods were identi. fied as part of the stolen property. The crew were accordingly arrested and charged with receiving the goods, well knowing them to have been stolen.
