THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.—It is not perhaps
generally known that some important changes in the law
regarding the sale of gunpowder and fireworks are made by
an Act of Parliament which came into operation on the
Ist of September. By one section of this enactment, no
Person can sell, or expose for sale, any firework without a
licence for the purpose, and by another the penalty for
throwing fireworks in thoroughfares, or other public places,
is raised from 20s. to £5. The most important innovation,
however, is the provision that no firework can be sold to
any person apparently under 16 years of age, without
subjecting the offender to a penalty not exceeding V.
„ a.ue
enforcement of this prohibition wou'd seem to threaten
reductionthe to very small dimensions of the trade in squibs
And crackers connected with the approaching anniversary
the Quial)9Wcit,r 'lot.
