After the memorial of the Ratepayer,* Amociation of July
28 Did ben read,

Mr. LACILUICR maid be wee prepared to prove the elle-
/Mini of this meruceriaL both ea to the morel part of the
question and or to the paireadary bee which the
pariah had illumined. immoral- flokeek• of Cm-

embalm.' complained of.
Mr. Ossort-s seconded the reeolution.
Mr. TILL moved an amendment. Ile thought an inquiry
might to be made before they came to any Anal resolution to
oppose the liceme of Cernonas. It wee a most serious matter
and involved a greet principle-(hear, bear)—for if the me-
try had a right to interim with Mr. Simpson. licensee in
the way proposed, they had an equal right to interfere with
every beam in the parish. (Hear, hear.) This was the
inertia of the thin end of the wedge, end there was no tell-
ing the mica of the demands epos the public funds of en
astabliehment being homed if proceedings were to be in-
stituted because the morality of the fignentare might not
cone up to the standard of gentlemen acting upon that
board. He thought the proper and fine way of prooceding wee
to iailitate the inquiry that wee asked for, but the vestry had
thought different, end he must amens bow to that decision;
but in he opinion the more proper way of proceeding would
have been to have referred the matter over to the pollee.
AU licensed intahlishmenui are under the rpeciai juriadie-
tin of the police autheeities—(lmar, hem)—and if Mr.
impacts committed any flagrant riolation of the law, the
proper quarter for it to be reported to was the police-m;(4-
MM*, and, if proved, they would undoubtedly lie him foe
his misconduct, and the mutter would not net thee* • for
when Mr. Simpson applied for the renewal of his
pcoren, the peeks who had lodged the complaint
against him would be those to make the representation
to the licenses( magistrates, and if the bench roue-
&red the pollommagerate justified in indicting the fins
they would in all probeility suspend the limners. (Hear,
hear.) The would have been • better comic then that
which the board had chomps to adopt ; and his opinion on
the subject remained uneltanged„ notwithstanding the de-
cision of the board on a fanner occasion. Now, with re-
ference to the argaments advanced, as far as he bad beard
them, they went sot to the limitation of Cretuorne, but to
its satire extinction. It was may to say they only wanted
the gardens to be closed at twelve o'clock, but if they had
evidence before them to show that the immorality wee as
great aa had been represent with refers: me to the mdse.
