Wno is A TRAVELLER `r"—The Sale of Beer Bill
prohibits the keeper of a tavern from supplying his liquors
during the, greater part of Sunday, "except as refresh-

.ents to a bond fide traveller, or a-lodger therein." The
proprietor of the Wemyss Bay Hotel, by Greenock, having
considerable difficulty with respect to selling exciseable
liquors in the prohibited time to persons journeying along
the road, forwarded to the Lord Chancellor a petition
praying the House of Lords to take the opportunity of
defining the expression " bond fide traveller," but has re-
ceived for answer from his lordship's secretary a commu-
nication stating " that there exists great difficulty in
obtaining a clearer or better definition than what is 'im-
plied in the words themselves !" In the act in force in
New York it seems that the term "boarder" is used ; and
the New York Herald, after stating that notice had been
given that the law for Sunday closing would be strictly
enforced, adds, " In this city the liquor-sellers, with the
exception of the hotels and the restaurants on the Euro-
pean plan, very generally complied with the notification.
But the European plan did a flourishing business. Every
individual whose digestive organs were capable of master-
ing that singular production of nature termed a sixpenny

by any excellence of acting or of elocution. His de-
