Il Little Too much Legislation.-"One Of
The most remarkable laws in the in fancy
of Co"ueciicut, was aimed against the nse
of Tobacco. a similar denunciation was
Illuminated in Massachusetts. 1t was en-
acted, thai no person under The age of
twenty, nor any other not already hahiu-
ated to il. should use it. until he brought
certificate from a physician stating that it
was necessary for his health, and had in
consequence received license ofthe Court.
Those who had already addicted them
selves to this obnoxious ,ceed, were pro-
hbited from using it in any company, at
their labour, or on their travels, unless
they were at least ten miles from house:
and then only once day-under penaly
of six pence for each offence; of which. the
conslahIes were directed to give inorma-
ton To the District Court. The Connec-
lieut. settlers treated the Quakers with lit
tie less severity, than their Massachusetts
brethren For the fourth breach of the
law framed asainstth the offender was
to be imprisoned, kept at hard labour, & his
tongue bored through with red hot iron.
