and an extensive and compact domain in hand, with a fine
sheet of water, altogether 3,890 acres, well stocked with hares
and partridges, also black g and wild fowl. A very large
outlay has been recently made in judicioifs—drairdzi-g; lb the
formation of roads, &c., but the greater portion is still only
in a progressive state of improvement. One farm comprises
a portion of the old bed of the River Idle, a rich sound warp
soil, the deposit of ages, the partial application of which to
the moor land has already increased the value of the latter
30s. to 40s. per acre, evidenced by the luxuriant crops, and a
spirited agriculturist with capital might, at a comparatively
moderate expense, extend this surprising and certain improve-
ment over the remainder, by which it can be clearly shown
the property must in a few years be doubled in value, and be
made one of the richest estates in the district. It contains
also superior brick and tile loam, and, as two-thirds of the
purchase money may be left on the security of the estate, it
offers a singularly fine investment, with a certain vast return
in a few years, and a very healthy and pleasurable occupa-
tion. _ . _

\ .4'41" 6el other deg. Mr.,Daniel Whittle Harvey, the City Police •'
Commissioner, gave some very striking and cemprehen-
sive evidence, founded on " careful riSurne." "The .e!e-e.
e
number of persons," he said," who- had been charged .J 3„ ee
-,-,,
with drunkenness during the 10 or 11 months eiriee the eeer,
act had been in• operation was 2,817 in the city of Lon-
don ; and the number of cases of the same kind fer a •
simiar_ period of the previous year before the paesiiag, of ell
the act was 2,809 ; making, in point of fact, only a dif-
ference of eight since the passing of the act." With
still greater point he deposed that "thecases of drunken-
ness on Sundays ' before the passing of the act were 317
for 11 months, and for 11 months subsequently
334. On Monday, before the Passing of the acs,- 418,
and after the act 486. On the Saturdays before the act
paced 536, and after the act 606." '
Such testimony as 'we.- have quoted would certainly
tend to show either that Sunday drunkenness hads-nct
much decreased, or that the diminution was counter-
balanced by increased drunkenness on other days. We
admit., however, .that there must be strong et priori
ground for concluding that intemperance was diminished
at the particular periods when the means of obtaining
drink .were taken away ; but we now ask the reader)to
consider at what experie this'result was secured. In
'order to prevent 1 man in 100 abusing the use of liqoor,
99 have been prevented from getting any refreshment
at, times when it would have been most serviceable. Very
likely drunkenness has been diminished pro tanto, but
.what of that ?. If no persons were allowed to get into a
boat, or to bathe, there would, no doubt, be fewer deaths
from drowning ; if no fruit were•allowed to be consumed,
there might be few bowel complaints ; ore to carry the
argument to its-extreme point, if all fond were forbidden,
there would be an end of the adulteration question ; but
would not the cost overbalance the gain ? Is it just or
reasonable to say that no person shall have access to a
public-house in order that one or two persons may be
prevented from abusiug the opportunity ? When a most
respected alderman of the city of London gave it as his
opinion that " the greater the restriction upon public-
houses the more would be the ,diminution of drunken-
ness," he was, no doubt, correct in his deductions. The
greater the restrictions upon butchers' shops the less
would be the consumption of meat—an article of diet
which vegetarians condemn as roundly is the teetotallers
do drink. Bnt is the use of a thing to be proscribed for
the sake of preventing its abuse ?
We confess we have very great doubts as. to the gene-
ral applicability of coercive or • restrictive legislation to
questions like these. About the expediency of repress-
ing intemperance there cannot be two opinions ; but
when Mr. D. W. Harvey expressed his conviction that
" no kind of legal restraint would stop drunkenness—it
must be by moral restraint.," we think he spoke with
great reason. Except under the absolutism of a Maine
Liquor Law, it is pretty certain that a man who chooses
to get drunk will do so—on Monday, if not on Sunday ;
in an unlicensed-license; if not in a licensed binge. And ----
this, we take it, is the explanation of the evidence,
which, notwithstanding the probability that Sunday
dr' liking had diminished, showed the aggregate of druri-
kennese at pretty much the same height as before. If the
result, however, is thus unsubstantial, the grievance is
by no means so. For the sake of producing this dinai-
-notion, or, as we should perhaps say, this displacement
of intemperance, a large section of the community has
been depr;ved of 'the common and harmless aids of recrea-
tion during the brief periods when it iswitbin theirreach.
It is idle to talk of a "publichouse " as necessarily the
scene of vice or misdoing. To thousands of persons such
'houses are the only houses ever known, in so far as the
•word involves the idea of comfort, convenience, or plea-
sure. • It is here that restrictive enactments operate so
unfortunately in producing invidious distinctions between
the rich 'and the poor. It may be true that no such dis-
tinctions are intended, but they are created, neverthe-
less, for the law which shuts out a poor man . from
his best'or his only place of accommodation is attended
with little or no inconvenience to those who require no
such aid.,
We do not attempt to question the 'countless evils of
intemperance, or the advantage of endeavouring to sup-
press so productive a source of crime ; but surely this
is not an age when we need resort to so rude or violeeft
a method of proceeding as to prohibit use in order to
check abuse. We have many agencies in operation
which were denied to former ages. We have more
schools, more churches, more, education, and a greater
diffusion of religiOus feeling. Cannot we avail ourselves
of these means of moral suasion ? Mr. Broughton gave
_ it as his opinion that the establishment of such institu-
tel.- tions as- baths and model dwellings was of far great
led importance than legislating for public-houses, arid that •.
drunkenness could be much better met in this wan
while Mr. Wakley said that if the rational amusements
the public were 'extended drunkenness would soon

mented and distilled liquors on the Lord's-day have been
found to be attended with inconvenience to the people :
Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent
Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the
Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this
present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of
the same, as follows :

person, licensed to sell beer by retail, to be drunk on the

person licensed or authorised to sell any fermented or
distilled liquors, or any person who by reason of the
freedom of thelmystery or craft of vintners of the City
of London, or of any right or privilege, shall claim to
be entitled to sell wine by retail, to be drunk or
consumed on the premises, in any part of England or
Wales, to open or keep open his house for the sale of or
to sell beer, wine, spirits, or any other fermented or dis-
tilled liquor between the hours of three and five o'clock
in the afternoon, nor after eleven o'clock in the evening
on Sunday, or on Christmas Day, or Good Friday, or
any day appointed for a public fast or thanks-
giving, or before four o'clock in the morning of the day
following such Sunday, Christmas Day, Good Friday, or
such days of public fast or thanksgiving, except to a tra-
veller or lodger therein.

3. No person shall open any house or place of public
resort for the sale of fermented or distilled liquors, or
sell therein such liquors, in any part of England or Wales,
between three and five o'clock in the afternoon or after
eleven o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, or on Christ-
mas Day or Good Friday, or any day appointed for a
public fast or thanksgiving, or before four o'clock in the
morning of the day following such Sundays, Christmas
Day, Good Friday, or such other days appointed as afore.
said, except to travellers.

4. It shall be lawful for any constable at any time to
enter into any house or place of public resort for the
sale of beer, wine, spirits, or other fermented or distilled.
liquor or liquors ; and every person who shall refuse to
admit or shall not admit such constable into such house
or place shall be deemed guilty of an offence against this
act.

5. Every person who shall offend against this act shall
be liable, upon a summary conviction for the same before
any justice of the, peace for the county, riding, division,
liberty, city, borough, or place where the offence shall be
committed, to a penalty not exceeding five pounds for
every such offence, and every sale shall be deemed a se-
parate offence.
