LIQUOR "PLANTS" FOUND.
A RAID IN ASWBI'RTON
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Ashburton, Last Night,
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. LV. 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 spade into the ground near it. A shovelful of earth was thrown out, and a neat little cache made out of kerosene tins was disclosed, containing a large numlbor of bottles of whisky. Further down the .garden, an. oilier " strike " was made, and a second hiding-place, was discovered. This was made of bricks and a still larger quantity of bottles was found.
