THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ON THE TEMPERANCE
MOVEMENT.—Sir Fitzroy Kelly, M.P., the Attorney-
General, presided on Friday evening at the temperance
meeting, held in the Corn Exchange, Ipswich. In address-
ing the meeting, Sir Fitzroy said it was with great satis-
faction that he appeared to give his countenance andup-
port to a movement which was making great—and he
hoped its Mends would shortly be enabled to say, com-
pletely successful—progress among many classes of the
people. The movement was one in which he could not
but feel that the well-being, the happiness, and the best
and dearest interests, both temporal and eternal, of our
fellow-creatures were involved. His friend, the late Mr.
Baron Alderson, had declared his conviction, after
many years' experience at the bar and on the bench,
that four-fifths of . the crimes committed in England
might be traced to intemperance ; and he (Sir F. Kelly)
was sure that if this degrading vice could be removed from
society a state of things would follow in which an amount
of innocence, virtue, and general happiness would prevail
such as no man would be sanguine enough to foretell. Im-
pressed'witli-this belief, he had felt it a sacred duty, amidst
many other. occupations which left him little time to attend
to such meetings, however important their objects might
be, to lend the temperance movement what little aid he
could. - He was not aware to what extent the movement
had succeeded in the county of Suffolk, but he rejoiced to
hear, from time to time, that the principles of temperance
were advancing, and were supported and practised to a eon-
derable extent in the borough. of Ipswich. (Applause.)
