BEER SHOPS.
At the last meeting of the Bench of Magistrates
„...,011
Croydon, a memorial vas presented to them by
Wire, who was also instru.
upon the subject of an alleged improper proceeding
r.
e
the part of the overseers in raising the assessment
-led to appear in support ot 1.11:
person's property at Croydon, in order to enable Mtn.
obtain a license for a beer-shop. Mr. Wire, addressirg.
the Chairman, said the Bench we,-e aware that the
le':
gislature being satisfied of the mischief that was croak%
by the lower class of beer-shops, and the fruitful sourc*:,
they were of crime, had passed' an en actment &clarity;
that no person should be eligible to obtoin a
unless he was rated at 151., and this -lAA been found '
work exceedingly well, for the low class of beer-sr;
and all the evils connected with them, h& been ent/r%.,1
done away with, and the views of the Legislature callus
out in that respect. The memorialists now col aplained t • t
one of the overseers of the parish of Croydon, had thougi%
proper to grant a certificate, that some wijnises Intl
town, which were formerly rated at 10/. 16s. only,
worth 151., and they had been assessed at that sum
betr-lieenr.
no other purpose, apparently, than to enable the pers7
who occupied them to obtain a license to keena be
W 5
shop. Mr.. Wire remarked that such a proceed' of 1.,f.e
calculated to defeat entirely the good intentions
Legislature, and parties who might be inelin 2cl to
duct such places respectably would, if such a proceedi.;
were tolerated, no longer have an opportuni h
of doiliosz;
so.. The memorial, -threfore, prayed that raider t
circumstances the Magistrates would refuse to con
fir
the increased assessment.
Mr. George Penfold. the Vestry Clerk of • Crqtr;
stated that he appeared' on behalf of the pa.ish I,ltlLii
rities, and he admitted that the assessment ;gad wiey
raised to 15/., and the parish officers consitierecl ,chat
t
were justified in increasing the assessthent. fining
The Chairman inquired whether the rate eents.„- for
the assessment in question had been laid before heTtho
confirmation, and Mr. Penfold said it had not, alll.O- et
rate was not yet ready. In answer to a questien,:i
the Court it. was then explained that the .I.llagist
Petty Sessions, or etherwise, had no control over
ere
granting of beer-shop licenses ; but that theY
granted by the Excise upon a certificate that the Pot ,
niises sought to be licensed were of the anneal •ttFire
required by the Act of Parliament ; and this, Mr•_;,„.o- ;
said, made it of much more importance that the "'"it.e
ment should be a bona fide assessment, and not
tious one. After some further conversation the s5-$1';;
tt'ates expressed their intention, when the rats
brought before them for confirmation, to instilute
-miry into the mutter.

THE WEATHER IN SCOTLAI4I9'
it%
The month of November has improved vastly 47%e
predecessor ; and the prevalence of dry, sunny West,
has enabled our hill farmers to gather in theirleng
standing crop with comfort and advantage. The latla
part is indeed better than the former, owing to t
favourable turn of the .wrather,. which dried and veil-)
tilated the stooks, and permitted the whole t°
housed in tolerable condition. A few patches et. beB
ti 4
may still be seen in the field, but the corn harveniat.
over. Wheat sowing will -now be m progress;
as we have before remarked, the uncertain
of this grain in our _-variable climate has gee el
abridged the quantity sown, and oats, or barle",",
found to be a more sure and profitable crop.. IS' Ag fflf
tleman in Fifeshire writes us" We have erijoYe",;
tf.e last ten days a tract of very, favourable hate
e
weather. The outstanding corn will now be secure i
and the greater portion of the potato "crop got UP• .
learn from Perthshire that the crop has not suffered °'•
thing like what was feared." v
Potato-lifting is now the order of the• day, i° 11- f t
rural districts. The accounts are contradiotorl ti`„
the effects of the late frost. In a field near this t°,':
same women observed to us that their lOtaa,,
were much damaged ; that they had lifted a ~jr: •
and that one-half of them was scarcely worth °tithe,
home. On mentioning this to a farmer in art
immediate neighbourhood, he remarked, that 1,,
women knew nothing of the matter, and th%ing:
did not conceive the crop would be aO7
the worse Of course, much will depend on . •
A farmer, near Cromarty, said to us the othelanto:
"My potatoes are all secured, and though we .
much frost, they have sustained scarcely anY datif;;•4
c
they are of good size and quality, but rather deu';,e,,,
in quantity." That this is not generally the ase, ,
ss
in the moro exposed Highland districts,
by "
the following agreeable intelligence, conveyed
tleman who has just returned from Strathgla's
" I was paying our friend, Mr. Robertson, °A
ag„.„.
a visit. last week. On my arrival I found his serv;
field to look
0::
-raising the potatoes, and I went to the
them. ',never saw such a crop, either as to xis °`,
quantity. The field contained only two ecru, (I.
were upwards of ninety bolls raised from it. I "'eel-.
two of there, and the largest was 11b. 12oz. I err; ter •
train there was a cart-load of them which would `"
rage in weight 260 z." 1,810
Of abundant produce, the following is a reolar"..- re,

In Glengarry, and the neighbouring districts, ipal.
harvest is completely over ; the oat crop.is the Pril4ler
one, and it is fully en average. The potatoes eras root,.

The accounts front those fertile districts, the "our'
of Gowrie and Strathmore, are nearly the sone s:orre
own. Rain—rain ; but at length partial fine "e best'
and the crop secured, though not always in
condition. Of Strathmore, the Dundee Advet°.

" The lifting of the potatoes, and the get-Aesfer
the wheat- reed. whitre the ground is alreaq,:ievere!,
is now the burden of out-door labour ; but °lf the.:
nocturnal frosts preventing the commencetnet
operations until the day is considerably advOcivizecf
the difficulty in many places of procuring a StIA tett'
of hands, renders the progress-making ni°"„00
tardy than we could desire. The potatoes, °rob
whole, are a good return, and not fin °
