SELLING LIQUOR oN SuSDAY.-itwill be Iemem-
bercd that short time since warrants were Issued
and several OF our larger hotel keepers in Broad
way, together with bir. Vultee, OF Chatham street,
were brought to the Police Office for selling liquor
on Sanday contrary 10 law. Till then, the law had
bo.n anirrrcf apningt the smaller
dealers, on complaint TO The Corporation Attorney.
By The case OF Mr.. Vultee the other defendants
agreed 10 abide. BY the decision OF Justice Drink
er, copy OF which has been placed in oar hands,
appears that the whole OF the objections taken ty
the defendants, have been overrued, and the COM
plant fully sustained. This will have most salu-
tary effect by giving summary process TO enforce
the Law in al! cases where liquor is sold on Sunday
