In 1830 John along with the Excise Collector Thomas Richards and Supervisor Thomas Jenkins Couch wrote to the Reading Mercury refuting a report that Wethered's brewery in Marlow had been found by them to be using illegal ingredients in their beer and had been fined £1000 as a result. To set the public's mind at rest and protect the Wethered's reputation they announced that they would inspect the brewery premises anyway [Reading Mercury 8th March 1830].
