1.11 PO RTANT DECISION.
Dt.:111. _ . . J MY I.
_

Application having. been made by a Publican 0!
the name of Cummins, residing in Suffolk-street.
against certain Printers of the Bank of Ireland, to
enforce payment for spilitignits liquors, alledged to
have been consumed in his house the ,remand sea
resisted by Mr. Oldham, Engraver to the Bank, t
the part of the Printers. •
The qaestion being of considerable importr.rt,
and involving the interegs not only of publicans
general, but of the entire working classe, of th
ciininitii,ity, the worthy Alderman v.-ished to haw.-
the point argued by Counsel, aad, accordingly, Mr.
ivas heard on the part of the PLintitr,
Mr. Jos is CHLEM: lgt the part of the Dclendants.
It appeared that certain ‘1 the copperplate rime:
employed by the Bank of Ireland, had been in t
• habit of frequentilt; the house of the pktintif,; aw
IhUd incutred a debt of lid. for Lpititatuai
consumed by them in hi, house, and that t; hook .
the same, he had proceeded to arrest two of the s;i:.l
copperplate prime's ; but that, finally, the mitt
had been submitted to the decision of the Magi..trau..
•On the part of the copperrlate printers% Mr. (AAA 7.
stated, that he had established a Savings-bank anir:
them,theaccumulations tic which he refused to hi: 4

over in discharge of their debt, the same havt!.....
been incurred contrary to the prdvijons of sir/ AcE,
passed in the !nit ) ear of the reign 4/1 tic-arge I
which prohibits the giving credit to v:otkmen, it:-
vants, and others, by publicans, above the va'ate •
one shilling. Mr. Oldham further stated, that I r
fund in question had been established v:ith the vi•
to its being appropriated to the purchase W. clod
and other necessaries, the payment of rent, occa.irr
relief in cases of sickness, Sec. and that the

any part cf k over for the discharge of th.: debt
question, would be a diverting it from its origin '
destination to a micchievous and illegal purpose.—
That so beneficial had been the operation of the fun,:,
that a sum 01.216/. had been actually s:tved, by

_ .
few printers. in the short space of eleven mau.,
I most of whom had lived hitherto in poverty at: I
dissipation.
Alderman Watauga, after bearing an ingenimr-
argument an the part of the plaintiff, dismissed the
application ; complimenting Mr. Oldham on the suc-
cess of those exertions which had effectuated so
tary an object, by thus, as it were, renewing tio.l
obstacles which the Legislatine had wisely interposed
to that dissiration in public-houses which has pr ovid
the very bane of the working classes in this country.
