S,,e,,-In n few of the first cases which were
decided on the 14th, the proceedings we've quashed
on the ground that the complaints were insufficient
| inasmuch as they contained no avernent OF time.
The liquors were thereupon returned to their OWL

| ION the 10th there was another seizure. The
MARSHALL and his posse proceeded to Nh GARDENERS
store, Nor ID Front street, and attempted to exc
cute their search warrant. The store being closed
the Marshall broke open the door by force, took
possession of quantity of liquors, to the value of
nearly $4,000, which he placed under the charge
of keepers. y r5 = ot -..fs,.t''
The Boston Chronicle says that Rev. Geo. Ward,
who was prominent i'll enforcing the law, was as
saulted by the crowd that gathered around the
scene of this seizure, and peltedwith rotten eggs

Lvnn.-The City Marshal visited eWhitneys
Hotel,' at Nahant, last Friday, and by virtue of

| LotoeH-On Monday, Judge Crosby gave de-
cision in the case Of Judge Young and K. w. Sis
son, The Judge held that the complaint was faul:
4 ty inasnluch as it did not contain an averment that
the defendants were not authorized agents of the
city for the sale. The counsel for the Government
asked leave to introduce further evidence. but the
Court ruled that, the Government having closed its
| case, further evidence was not admissible. They
were both disch lrged.
1 The sales of liquor atthe agency in this city, du
ring the last twelve days. were little over 5000, or
\ between SIG or S17 per day. The sales OH Tues
day were over fifty in number the quantities be-
ing, in nearly every instance. SMALL that is in pnts
| or quarts. The profits of the business 33t per
cent, to cover the expenses Of Sales freight rent,
&c. The business thus far appears TO have been
very fair considering that almost every family has
its own demjohn supplied.

ty, and was fined $40 and costs of Court and wns

Il W0rcester.-On the 18th, Jonathan Day, Esq,
one of the Deputy SherffS of this county, made
the first seizure of liquors that has yet been made
in Worcester, under the new Liquor Law, al the
store of Edwards Il Bancroft, in Wash ton square.
The liquor found upon the premises, some five or
six barrels in all, consisting of general assert
ment of rum, brandy, gin, &C., was seized IN the
name of the Comnonwea lth, and by him deposited
for safe keeping in the city liquor store, until the
case is decided by due process of law. We under
stand that feeling was pretty generally entertain
ed among the old topers, that the law would not
be enforced in Worcester, and it has been current
ly reported that our worthy Police Judge would de-
cline to issue warrant, and that the Sherifs and
Constables would not serve them but there seems
to be no question now, on the part of any one,
that the law is to be enforced, and the liquor traffic
stopped.-.Spy, 18th.
