Smuggling Prosecutions in England and Wales c. 1722-1732

This is a raw version of the data that was transcribed and compiled from reports ordered by the British House of Commons in 1733. In that year and following debate over the Excise Bill, the House ordered a summary of all prosecutions for smuggling throughout England, Wales, and Scotland for the preceding 10 years. 

​

While the Scottish report has not yet been located, the reports for England and Wales were found 

at the National Archive, Kew, England (references T64/146-149).

​

Corrected data will be provided in early March, 2026
