SALE OF BEER ACT.-(THIS DAY.)

The select committee on the Bale of Beer Aot re-
amembled at the usual hour this stoning, Mr. Hoary
Berkeley in the chair.
Mr. Trail), the Ousswieh polio. magistrate, in answer to
the (Adman, stated that is his opinion a liberal emistruc-
tion ought to be pat spat the eat, and is dealing with
the cease which had some before Ilia he permitted the
widest possible latitude to be takes is construing the terse
traveller, bat the eau of proof rested with the publican.
By Mr. Cobbett—The publican had more opportunities
of seeertaining whether a person was a traveller than the
police-akar who preferred the charge ; but the act afforded
the publican no specific means of obtaining the information.
He thought the act wee as error in legislation, as It masa
framed as to render it Moult to enforce its provisions.
By the Chairman—ln his opinion the act was a serious
evil, imams& u it pat as unneemeery wastraint epos per
whose duty it was to provide the Ruud pablia With
refreahmests, while it was so ose-aided is its operations as
to destroy the harmony of society by staking the working
dunes look epos the upper as a privileged elms. Oa the
whole, his experience led him to think that publiahouses
ought to be permitted to open from one to throe o'clock on
Sandal afternoon, and to be closed from three to five, and
then allow them to re-open for the rest of the evening.
The Chairman—Should you Wok • pewee returning to
London who has bees to Brighton, on Sudsy, for pleasure
would ease within the meaning of the tun bona fide
traveller ?

Witness—Wen, I fang a bons tide trsysller means some-
thing mon than a man who goes oat of tows for pleuttre.
The Chairman—Sepses a man arrives in London after
10 o'clock at night, obtains rafreshmeat and lodging at a
ionblisAwase, and I for Francs the next morning, bow
