AUDACIOUS VIOLATION OF TILE LAW DY A BEERSHOP-
KkEPEß.—Henry Lee, a farrier, and landlord of the ale
and beer-house, called tho Sailor's Return, Duke-street, St.
George-in-the-East, appeared before Mr. Woolrych to an-
swer an information and summons exhibited by Inspector
Honey, of the K division, for having his house open and
oarrying on trade therein during the prohibited hours on
Sunday last.

At a quarter before nine o'clock, Police-constable Mad-
den, No. 60 A, saw persons enter and leave the defendant's
house, and upon entering it saw 13 men and two women in
front of the bar. There were pots and glasses containing
malt liquors before them. Some of the men were smoking.
The defendant said the party seen by the policeman were
his own friends who paid him a visit. He was a farrier as
well as a beer seller, and belonged to a club, the members
of which visited him.

Mr, Woolrych—Your Sunday morning friends were very
numerous. Did you make them a present of the beer they
drank and the toobacco they smoked ?
Defendant—Yes, sir. (Loud laughter.)
Mr. Woolrych—That will not do for me.

Inspector Honey said the defendant had been a very
short time there, and carried on an enormous trade while
public houses in his neighbourhood were closed and the
law obeyed by the proprietors thereof. He then called three
police-constables.
The first, Robert Smith, 25 K, saw thirty persons enter
the defendant's beershop en Sunday the 24th of May,
between the hours of half-past six and half-past eight in
the morning.
Frederick Greenfield, 405 K, counted 121 persons enter
and leas e the Sailors' Return between the hours of nine
and one on Sunday the 31st of May.
William Gaylor, 303 li—Last Sunday, the 7th of June,
from half-past nine until one, I saw eighty-eight persons
enter and lea e Mr. Lee's beerhouse.

Mr. Woolrych—This is wholesale law-breaking—a moat
audacious and a very flagrant violation of the law, which
you find very profitable. You are fined 40s. If you are
brought here again and the case is made out the fine will
be £5.

Inspector Honey said a great many beershops in the
district were continually open during the prohibited hours
on Sundays.
