upper part of which has been enclosed and known as Leiston On this held at that time by Mr. Doughty as an off hand was a at one end of the barn a over the stable a in which loft there was a wicket win dow looking into the upper part of the and another looking out abroad through the loft this which was surrounded by a haulm wall or is nearly two miles from Sizewell and after I had sold my the major part of it belonging to the Leiston wais stowed away in what in Suffolk is called the is the grain in straw packed in ready for which operation generally finds employment used to do before the invention of threshing to one and in this case Crocky Fellows happened to be the man in the gin was deposited there to be under his and to be as it was Mr. Doughty never troubling himself about the matter as long as he had and without looking for Now there was a roan in the parish called whose name was Bowles a breeches but the Smugglers never could trust as he had been found out playing them some slippery trick a year or two a Club hence nick Crocky was one day looking out at the barn and Mr. limping along across the Common with a tub of gin he supposed under his and it at once hiin that he had stolen he therefore mounted the and found somebody had been as the barley was disarranged and a tub gone Crocky in an instant decided how to for he concluded Bowles soon be there and lie was not wrong in his Thumping away at his work and keeping his ears in about an hour he heard a rustling and dropping his he sprung up the bracket of the coss beam and on to the goof in a there was Clumpy crouched in coiner and the window Crocky approaching gin you and suiting the action to the gave Clumpy in Suffolk is called a clout of the and catching him by the collar hurled clean over the large beam of the barn down to the floor enough to break his but for the straw and barley on which Crocky had been at work the other jumped and would have commenced pummelling him hut he would go and lay aii information against the and Crocky thought to Bowles left the barn threatening and and Crocky went up and shut the and locking up the barn went intn the village to call a council to know what was to be The owners were soon and some thought Bowles would be afraid to and some otherwise; but the conclusion that the goods should be removed as soon as night came when an accidental sight of Bowles by one of the party in close discourse with old Read the Preventive officer accelerated the and set all hands to At that time there were soldiers at Leiston White two at East Bridge about two miles and no more nearer than Snape Crown or The Leiston soldiers were both and Read or Old Billy as he was was and be told Clumps he must goto East Bridge for the two soldiers Off set Bowles limping along as fast as he could but if any of the Smugglers had known his he would never have got to the Elephant and Castle but he did arrive and by the greatest chance in the world found the The landlady seeing something was called the soldiers into a back and gave to each two large glasses of Holi a cold an on awn account befi out for It a glass they took made them said the and be across the and opening a closet door he forced the trembling soldiers haid got and the Smugglers being the time men it was Clumps kept out of the for he now was frightened at his own Just as the officers and soldiers entered the barn Crocky had put the large barn padlock on the I demand admittance to this says Mr. says search for smuggled was the I shall let no man pull my master's property about without his says the Then I mast order the soldiers to knock the lock and be says you but I'll knock down the first man who touches that of the soldiers took hold of the cask as if to examine Crocky struck him the breast bone and drove him At this Sam Newson of and a malster of the name of a great cross made fellow entered the barn and Thornton who was called Quids from his immoderate use of stood behind Sam Newson began to wrestle with another and thus about an hour was in laug tumbling and swearing at one another in and pelting each other the at length a little fellow a in the came and spoke a few words to who immediately unlocked the doir with the if his master had no objection he had The whole party and one of the soldiers scrambled up the Here's the said by G-d the egns arc all Why you don't say says old who an to get uji but could not manage it. The soldiers were all busy in looking when Sam Newson having been up the stable loft and fastened the wicket on the other now came and spoke to who silly slipped and shutting the barn made the whole of the king's men Locking them all he and Newson went and made themselves sure the tubs were all and then returned and released tie who saw the trick had been by removing the goods while his men were engaged in the ham yard told the soldiers it was plain there was nothing to seize and they were The fact that the tubs were handed in silence by about twenty Smugglers into six two-horse carts and away to Cold Ford and deposited in a cart died till when they were carried right back to the anil placed in a large vault in the barn yard under a or as the call a About or eight score ijf sheep being driven in and about the place to obliterate all signs of any other footing than their The tubs were on each side the and a passage left in the at the further end of which was stowed some bales of tobacco and the whole being shut up by a trap door at one to get at which a portion of the long horse muck had to be cut away with a hay being the mode of concealing goods in the long winter nights against they might be wanted in the They were now in a place of and the next the Smugglers turned their attention was to prevent any more About a fortnight after the circumstance took place I have one night about nine a couple of very tall stout men stopped their horses at the door of tha cottage where Bowles which was a small house standing in a sand close by the and about a hundred yards from Leiston One of the men and opened the cottage found all the inmates in a state of as they had heard the horses Is Bowles said the replied the poor old woman his It's 8 mounting set off at full gallop through Leiston Street into a lane which leads toward Cold Ford and there they dismounted and one man thrust the end of his whip into and the other directly forced a bung of a beer cask in between his and tied it fast round his head with his they then took his head on one and the other took his they then flogged the poor wretch with their heavy all the way from Leiston through and five or six miles at least did they keep on with their barbarity till they were and then they threw what they supposed to be his dead body over the hedge into a plantation of Squire at where he was found by a labourer's next to all appearance but the husbandman seeing the state he was unbound his procured and had him conveyed to Tunstall Green where an incident which had the effect of bringing the two ruffians to who found went on the Sunday morning to sec how he ami was admitted to his where he had been attended at Squire Shepherd's and who had ordered every thing for him his forlorn situation for the gentlemen of the neighbourhood took up the and were determined to bring the actors to justice if In the course of conversation the man pulled the bung out of his pocket to shew Bowles what it The girl of the house being in the room at the took the bung to look at and Why dear if that is not the bung Tom asked me to lend him last I'll swear to for I cut the notch on it to know which cask it belonged The countryman said tothe Just stop with owners were there of course to them been a as m the door wm said you had air get with an implied all the foul air 4 bl the down the under the moment they were who to but received no A called or Black now attempted to go but he had but just got his head level with of the vault when be held his arm and Stokes caught jt and lugged him and he fell down on the ground insensible the whole party now fell to and the heap was soon ami the roof torn but it was too Cooper was found lying flat on his facn .it the farther eml of the and Debney standing leaning on the gin about half way along the both and their faces as as soon as they had laid the in to one of the thoy took the and and conveyed them paying but a as they were all horror struck about the dreadful disaster which had The bodies were taken to and I never ' knew whether a inquest went over or ' how it was but they lie both in one and a large nearly in front of Church Park and near the was to perpetuate their and so far as 1 know still I was not at the time In but I had the particulars from a friend who was pretty well it all the time and he tells that it was about twenty of the most desperate of smugglers that swore to and Debney and took the job in of their own and at their own and the whole seemed to be for the same evening that were old an living nt having heard of the death of the two concluded that there would he a removal of the as it was no secret that was and he thought he could make a The smugglers had for some years paid a man of the name of Isaac who lived opposite to to watch him of an and when he saw him go to his stable and pistols from a holo bored in the gable end of his saddle his which he could Isaac knew going out after the A man was always posted at a preconcerted spot to wham Isaac repaired with the and so the man raa and almost always on the night in question Isaac could not find the for none and exciseman took the two has soldiers with and knowing all the haunts of the as it happened went right to the spot at and in the yard made a. of six twelve and ' for the to arida short time the ira ait that were staved in the and the all thrown and on which was last that poured down it run out of the and the people dug a hole outside the and carried away the gin in dirt and and one man drank much of the filthy mixture before it had time to that he died the same Isaac Mayhew lost his birth as because he was suspected of being paid by both and informing when he had an and I think that I could call this lot of goods by no more appropriate name than the doomed this poor man a minute or for he had seen Mr. Shepherd ride into the and did not want the girl to see any body till Mr. S. had seen She did as he and the man asked the Squire into the where an examination of Bowles took and he declared the two men to be Debney and as he knew them having often seen them at Leiston White and in their smuggling The consequence of this information was a warrant issued against each of and both were apprehended 5he same day in the and were fully committed on the girl's in conjunction with to Woodbridge It appears they thought very lightly of the as that who was a admitted the fact in a boasting sort of and declared if it had not been for Nosey he would have served the b-y informer ten times After they were put in it was found necessary to send Bowles right and he went to London till the when the poor girl who had got into a sad mess gave her and Bowles gave and the two fellows were sentenced to two years imprisonment in Ipswich gaol Bowles quitted ihe and I don't think he ever returned to as I have been to learn any thing of hiT To return to the goods which were deposited in the and happened to be wanted in a short time after the circumstance A party of among whom was a brother of I think his name was anki a young fellow of the name of Will from assembled to work the goods as it was and had three or four carts
