Lol, no, haven't seen Smuggler before but I have seen other spiteful remarks made by the enumerator not by the person who was filling in the form.
I've seen "says she is wife"
"her illegitimate child"
"he is the husband of...."
"says she is widow but never married"
and so on.
Perhaps the enumerator had an axe to grind and was hoping the smuggler would get into trouble!

There's an Alice McMahon admitted to Hoxton House in London in 1850 as a pauper lunatic. Could well have been transferred to the County Asylum at Hanwell.
And on the image it says her alias was Alicia French - a smuggler name if ever I heard oneRick
