Reward for Discovery of Illicit Distillation.

Department of Trade and Customs, Wellington, 22nd July, 1885. WHEREAS it has from time to time been brought under the notice of the Government that the practice of illicit distillation is carried on in various parts of this colony ; and it is believed that such practice now exists to a large extent: It is hereby notified that a reward not exceeding £SO and not less than £5 will bo paid to any one who gives such information as will lead to the discovery of illicit distillation, and to the detection and conviction of persons engaged therein, or in buying or selling spirits illictly distilled, or supplying to illicit distillers materials for making spirits. This reward will be paid on conviction being obtained, and it will be independent of and in addition to one-third of the net proceeds of any seizure, and of the penalty to which by law the person giving information is entitled. The amount of the reward will be in proportion to the importance of each case. Persons willing to give information are requested to communicate with any officer of Customs or of Police. It may be relied on that any communication of the above nature will be regarded as strictly confidential, and that the name of the person giving information will not be divulged without his consent. By order. WILLIAM SEED, Secretary to Customs.
