POLICE OFFICE, NELSON.
Two cases were brought before the Justices of the Peace on Thursday last, on information laid by a tide-waiter named Gardiner, under the direction of Mr. Carkeek, 6ub-collector of •Custom*. Capt. Wakefield, R. N., and H. A. Thompson, Esq. on the bench, who were assisted, after an adjournment in consequence of a difference of opinion, by Capt. England. In one case Captain Higgins, of the schooner Ann, had landed six barrels of draught porter, which were duly reported, but had not been properly entered in consequence of some delay on the part of the agent. There is no duty on porter. The case was dismissed, with a caution to the captain. In the other case, some bags of sugar, which did not appear in the manifest of ths Ariel, the schooner in which they arrived, ware landed without entry. It appeared that some misapprehension on the part of the shippers and the captain had led to the mistake. Mr. Hort, to „ vhose firm the sugar belonged, stated that the auty had been paid .at .Wellington. It was decided that the goods were forfeited, but no fine was inflicted on the master, Captain Cruikshank.
