Thursday, January 2. Isaac Samson, Jas. Williams, and Jeremiah Creed appeared on the inforImation laid by Alexander M'Carthy, charged with defrauding the revenue by giving away an unstamped receipt. Alexander M'Carthy proved paying Creed £l7 on the 17th of November, for which Creed gave him a receipt without any stamp affixed. It was pleaded in extenuation that the receipt was given only a few days after the Stamp Act came into operation. The Magistrate regretted that the Act left him no discretion whatever, and that he had no option but to inflict the penalty therein named, viz, £lO I er oue month's imprisonment.
