THE NEW BEER BILL.

At the Lambeth police ---"-----r

Browne, proprietor ofthej°it; Of London Tavern, in the
Crystal
Palace,
was charged before Mr.

ofN August.or

tthoebycimseaneyxcthitoeudsa
crowded.
Sergeant March, 33 P, deposed that on Sunday, the
20th ult., at about a quarter to five o'clock, hewen t to
the defendant's house, and found the door open and
shutters down, and on entering he saw 16 personsthie
the front of the bar, some of whom were drinking malt
liquor and others spirits. They all said they came from
London, and that they were travellers.
The defendant acid they were all etrangere to him, but

he had no doubt they were what they represented them-
selves.

One of the persons present, theoonsta.ble subsequently
recognised to be Mr. Dawes, who lived about a mile
from Mr. Browne's house.
In his cross-examination by a solicitor, who appeared
for the defendant, the witness admitted that on ques-
tioning the parties in Mr. Browne's house they, in con-
firmation of the assertions that they had come from Lon-
don, exhibited their railway tickets, and that Mr. Dawes
whose name he had mentioned, had done so also.
Mr. Norton—The question here is, were the parties
served bythe defendant as "travellers ?" And I confess I
do not feel quite satisfied about this Mr. Dawes. Be-
sides, the house instead of being closed to all but travel•
lers, was quite open—the shutters down, and the door
open, so that any one might enter. The Beer Act is one
which, in my opinion, must be repealed, as it is not
suited to the convenience or necessities of the public.
But acting in direct violation to it is the very worst means
that can be adopted to effect the object ; and if the pub-
licans persist in it, they may depend on it that their
houses will be closed for the whole of the Sabbath.
Mr. Browne assured his worship that the Mr. Dawes
spoken of resided quite a mile and a half from his house,
and asked if he were on his way home from London, and
at his house, could he not be considered in a legal sense
a

traveller
Mr. Norton observed that, if Dawes lived so far off.
and was on his return from London, as had been alleged,
it would make some difference ; and, under all the
circumstances, he should not impose any penalty, but
leave the defendant at liberty to put what he pleased in
the poor-box.
Mr. Browne thanked his worship, and having put
half a sovereign into the poor-box the summons was dis-
missed.
A summons for a similar offence was exhibited
against Mr. Vivian, the proprietor of the Rambler's
Rest, at Norwood. In this case it was sworn that
though the defendant's shutters were up, and the door
shut, 10 persons were found in an upper room taking
refreshments ; and the defence set up was that they
were persons from London who ordered their dinners
before two, and were then enjoying it. The serjeant
admitted that the parties were respectable, and had the
appearance of Londoners, and Mr. Norton at once dis-
missed the complaint.
