A cask of distilled spirits from a distillery in Sappemeer was arrested in 1874 by officials (near Veendam or Stadskanaal) on suspicion of fraud.

¶ Obscure item. Not present in public collections. The author is anonymous but outraged. It could be the Groningen industrialist Willem Albert Scholten (1819-1892) who around the time this booklet was published, owned a potato malt wine roaster in Sappemeer providing work for 60 employees.
