From A Local Paper - 1st February 1822.
'Mr Foreman, Master Sitter in the Preventive Service, took possession of a Mevagissey smuggling boat with 170 kegs of spirits. He went below with the Captain, gave his pistols to a servant with the muzzles pointing towards himself, a gun went off and he died'. - Bill Parkyn
First Impressions
|
In the early 1960's 'DJO' was posted to the islands as the Preventive Officer in Charge. An article in the January 1963 edition of the Customs Journal - 'Penetrating silence and intensive light' - recorded his first impressions of the islands and gave a little Customs history of the islands. The article, reproduced as a PDF, can be seen by selecting the 'button' on the right. |
