SPIRIT LlOgreenii TO THEATRES. Yesterday
afternoon • public meeting worn held at Mr. Coles's, Unicorn
Railway Hotel, Shoreditch, to take into consideration this •
ittbjeot, sad to &ride apes the raps beet adopted to obis*
• rrsa of the sootiest of the act under which such licenses
have been granted. Mr. Herr, of the Equestrian Terre,
Blackfriare-road, having taken the chair, explained the
reams of the sot of parliament coming into operation. Mr.
Byres moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting
is of opinion that the remelt alteration by which the
hems of theatres her been enabled to obtain spirit
!loonies is extremely unjust to licensed victualler,, who
have been induced to spend large mums of money upon
tee purchase of their house., sod is calculated to lower
the stags se • medium of instruction end improvement." Mr.
Boren, licensed victualler, residing next door but one to the
City of London Theatre, said that at that theatre there were
three bars, one for the boxes, one for the pit, and ens for the
plimy. People were there told there was no necessity to
Leave the hoar, as the mad get what they liked at publio-
house prices, and the Irsgaenten were even prevented tear-
ing the house. With Itr, Berrie he Ind been the originator
of the movement, and he believed that if the licensed vie.
mailers would persevere in it, disk success was certain.
Mr. Stevens, late churchwarden of Shorediteh, saw no rem=
why spirit licensee should be withheld from theatres. It
seemed to be beneficial to the public geserally. who were in
the habit of fee quenting theatres. The resolution was car.
tied with two direntient voice*. Mr. Foster next sub-
mitted the following resolution "That a petition be pre-
pared for presentation to parliament praying for a repeal of
the 7th section of the 6th and 6th Will. IV., c. 39."
Be said that one might jest as well have beer end • pipe in
a church se in a theatre. Leases of theatre* should not
have all the molest rata end now of the Wbilitiee. They
should go before the some tribunal as licensed victuallers.
Thera were two grounds of opposition to this privilege of
Were of theatre*. One was that manager* should be
pieced on the same footing as publicans, end the other was
that the drama would flourish better withott the adjunct of
wins, spirits, beer, and tobaooo. ldr.Fisher seconded the
resolution ; and after a few words hots Mr. Witterbottom,
the resolution wee passed, as the previous motion. with two
dissentient voices. Subscriptionswere then riceived aid
of the movement, and the proceedings terminated in the .
usual manner.

circumstances :—lt appeared from the evidence of& police-
