The Middlesex Townsman, 19 January 1884

The new chief-of-police, accompanied by Officers Shean and Barry and Special Officer Johnson, paid his respects to Mr. Geo. Russell, proprietor of Russell's Tavern on Saturday evening. They visited his place about eight o'clock with a search warrant in their hands and made an inspection of the premises in quest of "the ardent." They were successful in finding liquor to the extent of a pint or two. . . .

On the same day several other places on "The Acre" were visited, including Michael Lane's, where a pint of questionable liquor was found.
