In the performance of his duties as Exciseman, Burns was severe on the regular smuggler, though not unwilling to turn a blind eye to occasional relapses.
One of the smuggling fraternity, not knowing Burns personally, offered one night to sell him some smuggled whisky. " You've lichted on a bad merchant," said the Bard. "I'm Robert Burns the gauger." The fellow stared, then impudently replied; "Aye, but ye're likewise Robert Burns the poet ; I mak sangs, too, sae ye'll shurely ne'er ruin a brith...er poet." "Why, friend," said Burns, "the poet in me has been sacrificed to the exciseman, and I should like to know what superior right you have to exemption " — and, sangs or no sangs, the seizure was made then and there.
In his last illness, unable to remunerate his medical attendant in the usual manner, Burns asked the doctor's acceptance of his pair of pistols as a memorial of their friendship. Dr. William Maxwell, who died on the 13th October, 1834, proved a generous friend 8o ROBERT BURNS AND FREEMASONRY to the bard's widow and children, and retained these pistols till his death, after which they were preserved for some years by his sister, and on her death they were presented to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, in whose Museum in Edinburgh they are now kept in an elegant coffer, but open to the inspection of the public.
