Excise Commissioners Back Rose as Inspector and Surveyor
Yesterday the Excise Commissioners named Mr Rose General Inspector and Surveyor of the Starch Duties. A major trial before them saw the Crown plead against a Geneva retailer who used a forged coffee-house licence to sell spirits. The noble Duke’s tenants faced an information for harboring run teas and were convicted with heavy penalties after a long trial. A large consignment of tea and brandy was seized at Hampstead. Bets surrounded Pond of Long Acre who briefly beat a Kingston to Gravesend crossing time by two hours six minutes. News of privateers, ships, quarantines, and stock prices filled London coffeehouse chatter as markets and exchanges reported fluctuating values.
