Flowing gin, eh? Mr. Merryweather is not quite as staid as he paints himself...
It's a very good point. I suppose, as debriswoman so amusingly suggests, the dug-out soil must have remained in the cellar. Perhaps the question ought to be, how did Clay prevent Wilson from entering his own cellar all the time the tunnel was in progress? Wilson was got out of the way while the actual digging was happening, but he could have chosen to enter the cellar any time he was home. And though you could hide the entrance to the tunnel, it's unlikely you could disguise a huge heap of earth.
