BUTCHERS' HAUL, Dec. 9, 1813.
TTJMLROUS Applications having been made
1:11 to the Court of Assistants of this Company, request-
ing their Exertions to prevent the PRACTICEof BUTCHERS
EXPOSING their MEAT for Sale on Sunday,
The Court *think it. Tight to give Notice, that the Master,
Wardens, and .Assistants of the Butchers' Company have, by
'their Charter cif ftworporation, the confront over persons ex-
ercising the Trade in the 'City of London, and within Two
Miles thereat; and that by their 434 Ilye-LaW, penalties are
imposed for keeping open Shop, ogering fur Sale, or'Selliag
Meat, on Sundays.
This Court, althottO strongly impressed with the neces-
sity of cheeking'so _ groSi a 'violation of the Sabbath, will,
with yeluctance,•adopt coercive measures to 'repress it'; they
rather wish 'the Trade't6 Unite, and at once discontinue the
practice.
The Public are also most materially interested in the sub-
ject; for it is a fact, that the profligate part of the labouring
Classes will continue in an Ale-house on the Saturday night,
spending their money and destroying their health and morals,
so long as Meat can be obtained 'on the Sunday-, by Which
their families, as well as themselves, are the sufferers.
It is therefore hoped, that this appeal to the Trade will
stimulate them to a sense of duty and propriety, and that
every Butcher in London and it envirouS, who regards his
religious or moral character, will henceforth discontinue
Selling Meat on 'Sundays.
By Order of the Court,
JOHN LIVERSUCH, Beadle.
