SEIZURE OF MALT. On the 21st inst., Mr. Henry Stephens, assisted by Mr. James Davies, officers of the Inland Revenue, made a seizure of about five bushels of illicit malt at the residence of Mrs. Sophia James, the wife of Mr. Evan James, of Cardigan. On the 24th instant, as Mr. Stephens and Mr. Heale were proceeding on their duties, and when near the gaol, they observed two women, named Alban, daughters of Owen Alban, of Verwick, who were carrying bags full of grain, and from their suspicious demeanor they stopped them, and found them with about a bushel of malt each. On a recent occasion Mr. Stephens and Mr. Davies discovered a large quantity of illicit malt in an empty coal-house, near the mill, Cardigan, belonging to the Rev. Mr. Miles, to which access had been obtained by means of false keys. Informations have been lodged against all the parties.
