On Monday, the .1(1 inst. Philip C. Lovett. Esq.
Surveyor of Excise, and Neptotie Blood, Esq. Ex-
cisseOfficer, assisted by a detachment of the 7th
Dragoon Guards, detected at Fort Fergus, county
Clure, a most extensive private distillery, at full
work, the still containing .200 gallons; also a large
Smiler, of in° gallons, regularly set ; the still, head,
worm, and boiler, are all of copper, which. with the
apparatus, except souse vessels, sky coolers, &c. of
necessity destroyed. were lodged the Custom-
House at Ennia. There were also some siuglings,
and about goon gallons of pot-ale spilled. This
distillery was on a plete and must extensive
scale, and hail it been allowed to continue, would
have been ',reductive of great injury to the fair
trader. The indefatigable exertions of these gen-
tlemen highly entitle them to the thanks of the
public, anti cannot fail to recommend them strongly
to the notice of tbs Commissioners of His Majesty's
Heseuue.
