Smuggling in Mounts Bay, Cornwall, and the Scilly Isles  Annotated(1)

George Michell drove a cart load of silk up
to the pub, but was met by the landlady, who warned him of a party of
searchers, awaiting his arrival. Michell sent his son round to the yard
with the cart, walking brazenly into the bar, and bought the crowd of
searchers a drink. Relieved that they had their quarry in sight, they
accepted, and Michell managed to spin out the conversation for a good
while, lacing the talk with flattery about the preventives skill and insight.
Eventually, they heard a rumble of cart wheels, and, rushing to the window,
the searchers saw an old horse-drawn hearse driving off — which
they dismissed as a pauper’s funeral. Needless to say, when the officers
eventually got round to searching Michell’s cart, they found only innocent
provisions.

                      conveyed the land
                      but not the house to Thomas Wilkins Morgan,
                      with remainder to Elizabeth Mary Morgan,
                      respectively Mussell’s son-in-law and granddaughter.
                      (fn. 65)
                      Elizabeth Mary (d. 1835), who had
                      married Ely Bates in 1788, was a widow by 1813
                      when she settled the estate on the Moravian
                      Church. Thereafter the estate was administered
                      as the Elizabeth Mary Bates Trust. Sales of land,
                      mostly in Conduit field and including the site of
                      Globe board school, took place between 1815
                      and 1906. Much was sold to the East End Dwellings Co. in 1934 and most of the rest to the
                      Elizabeth Mary Bates Housing Association before
                      1974 and to individual lessees from the 1970s.

                          The Board of Guardians of the Parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green, approached the Society in 1891 with a view to purchasing the estate as a site for a new infirmary, but their offer was refused. In 1894 the Board applied to the Local Government Board for an order to purchase the site. Although the purchase price of £18,000 for the freehold and £17,500 for the leasehold was regarded as expensive the purchases were completed in 1895, except for a small piece of land which reverted to the Guardians in 1909. In 1948 a further piece of land on Parmiter Street was purchased by the London County Council from the Elizabeth Mary Bates Trust for the Moravians.
