PROVES A WHISKY MINE. PEE PEESS ASSOCIATION. ASHBURTON, June 17.. Yesterday, on account of having strong suspicions that sly _ grog-selling .} was going on at a certain house in‘| Peter Street, the police raided the premises and discovered the largest amount. of liquor which has yet been'found in any house since no-license was _ carried in Ashburton, A small quantity was discovered in the house, but the police were not satisfied, and they conducted a systematic search of the garden, and an empty sack excited suspicion and the police stuck a spado into the ground near it. A shovelful of earth was thrown out and a neat little cadre made out of kerosene tins was disclosed, containing a large number of bottles of whisky. Further down the garden airother “strike” was made and a second hiding-place was discovered. This was made of bricks and a still larger quantity of bottles was found.
