REPRESENTATION OF P.RES7OI .

On Wednesday night a monster demonstration of
the Liberal party, in favour of Mr. George Melly,
of Liverpool, took place at the Theatre Royal,
Preston. Every available part of the building was
densely crowded. Mr. Alderman Smith presided,
and briefly introduced the Liberal candidate, who
was received with a perfect ovation, hats, sticks,
and handkerchiefs being enthusiastically waved in
his favour. He delivered a long speech, in the
course of which ho gave an exposition of his politi-
cal creed, which met with the approval of the
meeting, which was expressed by a resolution to use
every effort to secure his return. An influential
deputation from the Preston Auxiliary of the United
Kingdom Alliance had interviews yesterday with
the candidates at the Bull Hotel. Sir Thomas G.
Hesketh, in reply to the deputation, said that the
Permissive Bill in his opinion would be inconsistent
with the general constitution of the country, which
was on the principle of allowing the utmost free-
dom to the subject so long as no injury was inflicted
on his fellow-subjects, and that it would be unad-
visable and unjust to pass a law to permit two-thirds
of any one district to tyrannise over the minority.
He deplored the evils of drunkenness, but thought

movements cognate with that of temperance, yet he
would not vote for the introduction of the Permis-
sive Bill during this session. He admired the ear-
nestness of the teetotal community, but wouldmake
no servile promise to them in order to gain a few
votes. He had not yet come to the conglusion that

coroner, touching the death of John. (Hence, aged 37,
