Well, Mr. Dudley can’t sell liquor anymore.
From the Richmond Daily Dispatch July 21, 1862:
A Richmond merchant arrested for alleged disloyalty.
–Mr. T. Dudley, Jr., the well known liquor merchant, who formerly did business on the North side of Main street, was arrested at his farm in Hanover county, on Saturday, by detectives Folkes and Caphart, and brought to this city and lodged in Castle Godwin, on the charge of disloyalty. Some rumors to the latter effect caused inquiries to be instituted by the military police in regard to the status of Mr. Dudley. On repairing to his farm they found everything in excellent order, and nothing disturbed, though neighboring houses had been devastated and the country laid waste by the Yankees. It appeared that McClellan and his cronies had paid Mr. Dudley a visit, and the latter confessed that he had taken the oath to save himself and property, and that in consequence a guard was stationed, who prevented all depredation on the part of the Yankees. It also appeared that Mr. D. sold to Gen McClellan a fine field of clover for the use of his horses, for $800 in gold. Mr. Dudley is a native of Massachusetts. The above facts were derived from those officially cognizant of the matters stated. The amount of guilt or innocence of the party will no doubt be the subject of inquiry before the court-martial now in session here.
