SEIZURE OF AN EXTENSIVE
DISTILLERY.
ler
Yesterday afternoon a seizure of a large distillery was made by
geral revenue officers in Hertford-place, Globe-road, Mile-end,
c 4 the Parties connected with the concern were at the same time
'id used
dtaweelaberietfoe In the rear of this distillery is an open field of con-
rldt_epnita,ceanida beatween this field and the rear of the hou-es
piece of ground containing three small
swelling-houses sheds, boiler.house, steam.engine, and buildings,
hatlrhich it appears 'illicit distillation has been carried on for the
Seno:ni4 Months, and the revenue defrauded to an enormous
bY a t.
The approach to the premises frOm Hertford place was
it ‘; nennw.covered pathway, about one hundred feet in length,
'fte end of which there is a door, with the words " Carter and
-nto
h.line Painted thereon, in large letters. There is another en.
t° the premises from the field ; and a pair of large gates,
ortet siXteen feet in width and nine feet high, inclosed the
I intervals
in this direction, 'and the gates were only opened
whichfor the ingress and egress of a horse and cart,
Rho Was kept by the fictitious firm of Carter and Sims,
t Professed to carry on the business of glue, site, and
a Makers. The workmen and their families inhabited the
reing-houses on the premises. Yesterday, in consequence of
rnis4MatMa, a Custom-house officer, named Colby Atkinson Da-
ita_.PPlied to Mr. Broderip, at the Thames Police..court, for a
10.47swarrant to enter the premises, which was immediately
Dat,,,ftl; and having obtained the assistance of two excise officers,
ttui'm Cartwright anti Wallace, and Thomas Forck, police-ser.
44,4127 R, and Pierce, Stair, and Forsyth, constables of the same
ogice'tn. he repaired to the place. The police and one of the excise
aims having beeen judiciously posted to prevent any of the parties
the 'be their escape, Davis and Cartwright obtained admission to
tiskl'telnises by stratagem, and found the distillery in full opera-
,) IheY immediately captured four men, who gave the names
bistit:4l4 Jones, John Watson, Thomas Welsh, and Edward
1111. pig Who made a show of resistance ; on which Davis exhibited
his IDs Is; and having opened the gates and admitted the police,
T13,7n quietly surrendered, and were immediately taken to the
the Police-court, when Mr. Broderip, who was about to leave
ba,7neh, directed that they should be detained until this day.
thia Informed the Magistrate that he had seized the largest illicit
si,c'erY he had ever seen in London, and an inspection of the
au fully bore out his statement. It appears everything was
User ."ed on a large scale. here were four stills and a large rec.
ithi '4 full operation, with fires under the whole of them. The
Working off strong spirits, and in a vat sunk in the

hike "he night. The upper floor of the building contains nine
the p'ata, filled with upwards of 1,200 gallons of wash ; which, at
the 1-" he the officers entered, was in a state of fermentation, and
j°le of which the officers intend to convert into spiii,s. The
SaPpear to have been conducted in a very scientific man.
Shit -un not like the ordinary private stills. were gauges,
hot(kaeters, and other instruments on the premisTherees, fore the pus.
st ti°l. testing the strength and quality of the spirits. The value
hilt 'tills, rectified spirits, and materials is upwards of 3,0001.
Scgi,a.n extraordinary fact, that some time ago Davis discovered

Itaire"tled to seize them but he managed to cut his name with a
