THE SUNDAY TRAFFIC IN LIQCOR.—On this
aommattee re-umenbling yesterday, Sir James Frisson,
Bart., in the chair, the first witness examined was Arch.
bishop Mamma. In answer to the chairman the archbishop
stated that he had very much considered the subject before
the committee. The restriction on the sale of liquor is last
limited then the sale of any other community. In his
opinion Saturday is the meet dangerous day in the week
for the working chases ; there is more drunkenness on that
night than on any other night In the week. With regard
to the polios reports they afford no authority of the extent
of drunkenners at the present time. The sale of intoxicat-
ing drinks is generally admitted to have increased, and
drunkenness has increased with it. In spite of the pollee
it is notorious that drink is obtainable at any hour on the
Sunday, especially in low neighbourhoods. At the oesela-
sloe .1 the examination of Archbishop Manning, the Rev.
Newman Hallynassomined.
