(Aitplau.e.) The firt reason be should urge on behalf
of closit.g public-houses was perhaps • very prow one,
hut it was— 'lose the public-h -uses on behalf of the
publican himself. He did not think there was a greater
injury to any clam of men than that they should be
bound to surrender 'heir Sabbath, to work six days in
the week and then go on again on Sunday for the

There were no less than 340,000 people employed in
public-houses on a Sunday. en 1 that wee a most
lamentable thing. If the employers of labour in one
