On Friday May 9th, a small smuggler called the Goede Hoope, Ostend, laden with contraband goods was brought into Whitby, having been captured by Liet King chief officer of the Preventive service, at Whitby, with 3 men and 2 pilots. The cargo which was immediately landed at the Custom House, consistedof about 300 kegs of spirits, and 100 packages of tobacco, snuff tea etc. She had on board 5 men, and 3 men supposed to belong to the same vessel were taken by two of the preventive boatmen, on the preceeding night, as they were landing out of a boat on the sand near Upgang, about a mile anda half north of Whitby.
It is generally reported in the twon that Liet King was informed by Jacob Coupland and Thomas Douglass, two of the pilots that a smuggler was in the roads:- we think it bad justice to the two pilots, to inform our readers that the report is without foundation: as the two men had no idea, whatever, why they were called up until told by Liet King: and previous to that time they had not seen anything like a smuggler in the roads.Whitby Panorama June 1828 SMUGGLING VESSEL CAPTURED.
