SIR J. KAY-SFIUTTLSWORTH ON

DRUNKENNESS.

To Ike Ethiore.

Ass reporter at the recent Social Minim Congress
in Macobester. I had die opportunity of recording
the utterances of leading men of thought and hen.-
vaunt anti n—such as Lord Brougham, Sir J. Kay-
Shattleworth, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Rev. W.
Arthur, president of the Wesley= Conteredoe, and
others, respecting the crime of drunkenness, the
facilities afforded by the law for its encouragement,
the desirableness of greater restriction if not entire
prohibition of the traffic in intoxicating drink, and
the duty of punishing the droakardinaker as well
as his victim. Lord Brougham's remarks on this
subject have been circulated ; I will therefore team-
Cribs from my nate-book (having permission to doer)
and ash you LO give publicity 63 • forcible paragraph
in a speech by Sir J. Kay•Slinttlewirrth, made in his
capacity as president of the Economy and Trade
Section, at the close of a long and searching discus-
sion on drunkenness and the booming system :

"It has been my duty to act at Lancaster, at Man-
chester, and at Liverpool, to wiveral ociesaione ain ettair-
man of the grand jury ; end on one I was so deeply
impressed, end so were some of my brother mmistrates
of most proninent positions in this county, with the
amount of brutal crime brought before us, and traceable
simply to the inffeenee of intoxicating drinks upon rude
natures, that we made &presentment to the Judge, and
we had it forwarded to the Secretary of State
for the Home Di:mamma, expre•sing in .mphatic
terms the very sentiment which fell Ineloquent language
from the lips of Mr. Arthur, the president of tine
We•leyan Outiferenos —Mutt thery was • sort of preven•
lent guilt in the inluence of intoxithoine liquor. which
ought to be dealt with by the L.,. • • • Intoxica-
tion as a source of crime should be treated with more
Signor as • misdemeanor, and the ainsesmeooss of
that misdemeanor should' be visited not merely upon
eke individual, but also upon the keeper of the
hems in which the intoxicating liquors had been mold.
We ooneeived that it should not be optional with magis-
trate., or with the Inland R it, or with any other
department, but should be obligatory upon them to
withdraw liornses after a few repeated convictions had
beim obtained of the misdemeanor of having suppl ed
men with drink so as to cam. intoxication. No one
Mb sit as foreman of • grand kary and pollute inns
thoughts for the time with the ebonoinations and
horrible crimes that ale committed under the influence
of drink in the low parts of this city, lent to • much
greater extent amonget the scum of the population of
Liverpool, in foul hatinta of bestiality, where life
is sacritleed merely to the irratibility of a dissrdereed
brain, infinentied by drink—no man, laity, can pollute
his mind by diaoharging his duty as foremen of a grand
jiry in examining the witnesses through one week,
by details of that kind, without coming to the
eonviction that the legislature has nryjleetod to
• very great extent its duty in the repression of
what is to so very great an extent a source of crime.
I am very glad tome that the Veiled Kinadom alliance
—to whose labours l attach the utmost importance—do
not preclude, or in any way discourage the adoption of
memoir's of • km 'atinglee charaster than those which
they advocate; but that they are fsvoutable to the
adoption of other steps as means of attainiug their own
end, I fancy from what I have heard today that no
earnest member of the alliance would desire to diseonrage
an attempt to obtain the sanction of Perliament to •
memoire which would visit in a more vigorous manner
this form of misdemeanor, both upon the poems who
rommitted it, as bringing grievous calamity upon him•
self and his family, danger to his neighbouta, and
ultimately evil to the State ; and that then the sum
mi.demeanour should be visited upon the person wino is
partireps ("Maisie in bringing these evils nem the family
and the community. That was the central tit...night of
the preeentation made by the grand jery of Liserpool
with the concurrence of myself, Sir Thomas Hmketli
and others. I sin Ohl to see that something of •
similar kind was recently embodied is • presentment
from the grand jury of Manchester. I have never pre-
sided as foreman of any grand jury in this *minty with-
out having impressed most painfully on my mind theta
was my duty to make such a presentment noon every
occasion, and have only 'refrained from it from that
delicacy which one always bee in reiterating the same
ides, and appeal-Mg to be dogmatic upon u matter which
ought, it ma me, to me, to have struck everybody as a
matter of tioinison sense. I must my, in conclusion,
that though there is a wide difference of opinion on thin
subject, I do believe there is • ripening inituence of
puhlne opinion which will I ad to early legislation. No-
thing smears to ins to be more ni.graoeful than that
any roe.ber of Parliament, or oesdidate for horongh.
should tamper with this question, is order to obtaie the
aapp..rt of the bosomed vietnailers of any town. I per.

the appeal from the decision of Viaobannallor Stuart,

for Monday, as it was desirable that it abould be
heard before the trial of the plaintiff at the Central
Criminal Court, which had bee. postponed till the
November Baloos to await the results of the decree in
the suit. Lord Jostles Cairns observed that he was
cenneel in the ma in the court below., Mr. Snaps
then asked that he might be heard before the
fell Court Lord Justice Turner maid that it would be
imponsible for the sass to be adrenal, and, even if It
were, as it would probably «any some Mate,the °Oat
of the application would not he amend. The-aped

Company having purchased the Ilfracombe Railway, •
debt of £10,750 was due in respect thereof, as an instal-
ment due, and it become seesseary to talc* proceedings
against the whole of the shareholders for unpaid ealls

moved for tLe issue of 63 other writs of mire Jacks

stated that if the shareholders paid up their anlle on re-
ceiving notice of this motion no further expense in the
way of meta would be incurred. On this understanding
