SMUGGLING GANG.

“MOTOR-BOAT ĈARGOES .

DODGE CUSTOMS.

London, July 24.-Operatione by a cleverly organised gang of Con- tinental smugglera have just come to light.

It is now known that during the Just few years they have succeeded in bringing into this country many thousands of pounds worth of goods on which the McKenna duties imposed a tariff of 33.1/3 per cent. it is only by reason of the fact that the duties are to be abolished that information, as to their schemes has leaked out.

Jewellera, both wholesale and retail, have been puzzled by the fact that occasionally large parcels of watches of Swiss make have been offered to them at prices which it was considered would not recompense the makers, to say nothing of the profit for the middle. mang in view of the McKenna duty leviable on them.

It is now revealed that an organisation having its headquar- tera in Switzerland moved quan- tities of watches to Holland and at

про

of the Dutch fishing ports chartered a fishing-boat.

The rest was simple." said an authority. "The cases of watches were placed on board and the skip- per was told to put out into the North Sea na if for the purpose of fishing, but if approached by a motor-boat was to hand over the cases,

£600 CARGO. "The English members of the gang were ostensibly.members of one of the many motor-boat clubs which have sprung up all round the coast, and no surprise WAB OC- casioned when they went out eria- ing. Nor did anyone consider it his business, to examine the motor. boats when they eventually returned to port after a lengthy trip.

They would run a cargo valued ut about 56,000 at a total cost to them of about £200 instead of £9,000, which would have had to be paid in duty in the ordinary way. They have now ceased their operations because, with the McKenna. duties corning off on August 1, there is no longer any need to run the slightest risk.'
