GROCERS LICENSES.

One of the most noticealde plia.ses of the temperance
movement has been the direct attack made upon what
are known as grocers wine and spirit license., and there
in apparently a determination to bring about • sweeping
reform in respect to them. In many large towns the
police have reported in very strong terms against the
great increase of licensed chops, and in Manchester and
Leeds, for instance, the magistrates have felt bound to
sildres* the Government on the subject, urging the ueoes-
sity for an alteration in the existing law. Last week an
influential deputation from the Church of England Tem-
perance Society waited upon Sir H. Selwyn-ibbetson,
who received them. on behalf of the Home Secretary, and
the views of the 'powerful organisation were very clearly
expressed. The deputation was a representative one, and
comprised several magistrates, whose experience in the
matter would of course be exceedingly valuable. Accord-
ing to Canon Ellison's statement it would appear that
the parochial clergy of the country were beginning to do
battle with the great evil of intemperinice, and their
first request was that the Government would prohibit
the granting of new licenses for the sale of intoxi-
cating liquors at shops. The reverend gentleman insisted
upon the necessity for gradually restricting the sale, and
clinched hie argument with quotations from the reports
of chief constables of many important towns, who all
at grocers were responsible for • great amount
olrfelicOl that
drunkenness which prevailed. Canon Ellison made
out a good case, and his argument that there was a strong
public opinion in favour of the abolition of grocers
licensed was entitled to earnest consideration. There can
be no doubt that • prejudice is growing up against the
practice of family grocers being able to supply households
with drink, and this is Snore particularly the case on
account of the great increase in secret drinking. Women,
it is alleged, are more easily led into temptation when
opportunities are thus placed before them of readily
indulging their appetite for stimulants, and • panic has
arisen in certain quarter* on account of the alleged
insidious extension of the practice of privata
The clery are perhaps brought snore directly into contact
with this form of social vice than any other section of the
community, and their experience is worthy of attention,
as they cannot be actuated by interested motives in the
course they are now pursuing.

money, and asked him to square the matter for him
He admitted to him that he had ridden from Wituborne

out • ticket,— Defendant went to Wamborne by the 110
train, and would have to change carriates at Wimhorne
and Bourneanouth, to get back again in the time. De-
fendant was not drunk.—Mr. Rickman, booking clerk,
corroborated, and said defendant was as "sober as a
judge"—Defendant said he was the worse for drink, and
dad not know whathe did, lie remembered taking a ticket
for Wituborne, and going into the sale- field there, but

SPELLING SEE,HAVIOR.

It was incredible to Mrs. Robinson that R. should come
"straight home" from the Spelling Bee the other morning
at two, if not pat. So she prepared to receive him with
a broadside. He let himself in with his key, walked on
tip-toe into the dining-room, where the gas was on, and
was preparing to light his candle. when the wife of hls
bosom suddeniy rose from the Bide of the fire and con-
fronted him. " Disgraceful !" she hissed from between
her teeth- "fl-is, &Ls, g-r-a—" he stammered. " Non-
sense !" shrieked the infuriated woman. "N
-o-n-s-e-n-s-e
—try • harder, Betsy." "Beast :" was the objectional
word which found utterance on her fair lips. "B
-e-a--"
The sudden flopping of • sofa-cushion in his face inter-
rupted what rally promised to be • very fair attempt.
"My dear I" he remonstrated. "Oh, you—you—mon-
ster V' was the rejoinder. And Robinson cooly took up
the running. " M-u-n-s-t-e-r," he hiccupped. "But look
here—give us another, Betsy." She flew at him like an
enraged tigress, and seizing both his hands, held her
infuriated face close to his. "Listen to me! You and
your Spelling Bee—" "Do—do—don't swear. Betsy."
he pleaded. She did not heed him but went on. "Is all
moonshine." "Are all. Betsy." "I,—is—is all moon-
shine. I know all about it. And now. Mr. Clever, perhaps
you cAn spell—separationr "With pleasure. S-a-rz-p
The next instant the gas was out. Robinson's had had
come in violent contact with the wall, and the stillness of
the house was broken by the rapid ascent of female feet
upon the stairs, followed by the banging of a door. And
the word she had propounded was :Meted no more. In
Its place there was the next day abstituted the prettier
word "Reconciliation, " which Robinson spelled after •
• fashion of his own thus :—"S-e-a-la-k-i-n-j-a-c-k-e-t."

Sornawm..--Special Lenten Services are being held in
this little village so far from the mother church. They are
held in an empty cottage, at 7.30 on Tuesdays. Judging
Iron the successively increasing congregations, the clergy
have hitherto been encouraged In the special work. The
evident attention which lights up the features of village
comers proves that there is a bright harvest to be reaped
in this little village. It sestina manifest that though un-
able to get to the church the people are anxious to have
the church brought to them. There has been a long talked
of scheme for building a rhumb for our distant ones. The
ground is bought. The hearts of many are warmly
sympathising. and it is to be hoped that now we may get
fairly tinder weigh. No one can pass through this village
and fail to gather that its people not oely need, but would
vastly appreciate both schools ands church. The presence
of so many earnestly attentive to a simple cottage service
—the sight of children within the village and thus absent
from school, in the day titne, suggests that both church
and schools are touch needed. And may this much to be
desired end be attained.

Joseyk Woolfrey, a lasplooking labourer, was charged
under a warrant with violently assaulting and threatening
to kill Matilda Hancock, a woman with whom he lives, on
the; previous day.—Prosecutrix td.) the usual tate—she
wished to wi.hdraw the charge, but as this was the third
case of the kind within four days, the magistrates declined
to be trilled with in this way, and refused to discharge
the prisoner. The woman was told she must give evidence,
but this she would not do, and an intimation that she was
liable to be sent to prison for refusing did not alter her
determination. She said prisoner was very tipsy (the old,
old story) at the time he assaulted her, and she dared say
he was sorry for what he had done ; she should not have
had him locked up but that she was afraid it would be
worse than it was. in answer to the Bench the woman
said the information sworn to by her on applying for the
warrant was true, and the marks on her face were caused
by prisoner. This was quite sufficient to convict, and tho
Bench being satisfied that the woman had been ill-treated
moat unmercifully, and being determined to put a stop to
such disgraceful proceedings, sentenced prisoner to 7 days'
hard labour and bound him over in his own recognisance"
of £lO to keep the peace for 6 months' from the expire•
tion of the term of imprisonment —The unfortunate
woman paid the costs of the binding over, 2s. 61

been before the Bench several times before. Last evening
he was in the George Inn, and later on was found ill a
loft over actable asleep and snoring by the landlord, Mr.
Brown, and Constable Best, who locked him up. Mr.
Brown said he had found prisoner on his premises many
times before and had got up in the middle of the night
more than once and given him a thrashing (3 and sent
him away; and he had promised not to come there again.
—Prisoner said the ostler gave him permission to sleep in
the bit ; but Mr. Brown said the ostler had no right to do
so, and he had told the constable and him that he did not.
—As late ae the 9th of July prisoner was sentenced to It
days' hard labour for sleeping in a loft at the Sloop Inn,
Parkstone, and the dose was now repeated.
