mistaken their bunnceH wcrr appointed by Tho fi'ou-
tive Committee and no, by The Alliance, md should
have made their report to the Executive Committee,
and not tO the Alliance - .
Tie Secretary Of the Alliance filtered IN ms memory
of the appointment from Mr.. Warren.
VIM. T. Estabrook moved that the whole subject be
referred 10 the Executive Committee.
Mr. hickman said that he had been made OUT
rcrfect nnmsrull He asked in the meeting in which
be wss appointed where he could get hold Of something
by which he could find those men in the First ard;
and be up more than 900 highs oil sair' 70 ma
them but he could not find them and so got some OF
his temperance friends together and formed new organ
iza,ions. He protested that he had none but the
purest motives, the Purest temperance motives.
Mr.. Edward Faulkener, who wSs on the Comun,t@
with Mr. Buckman stated thathe did not suppose that
the Committee had any right to organize new " ara
Alliances.
Mr.. J. T. Brooks thought that he generally knew
WHIST be was about.
Tho amendment was Withdrawn and after several
voes tbe matter was declared TO be referred to the
Executive Committee, Mr.. Buchanan, however, pro-
testing stouty against the decision
Mr. Warren then stated that Mr. Capron, the coun-
sci of the Alliance in their case against Coleman
Stetson, was presented and would give some account
OF the progress of that case.
Mr.. T. /. Capron then came forward and gave an
account of his connection with the cases OF wallace,
and Coleman 4 Stetson. The Wallace case had gone
out Of his control into the hands of the Dstrct Auor
ney ard pro batly would have very long resting spell
M Capron thought the working of the P-ohbi,ory
Law would be facilitated by the repeal of the clause
allowing the sale OF imported liqnors. He thought
clio that the exclusive power OF trial OF cafes under
the Proibiory Laws boud be taken from the hands OF
the Court of Spe cal Sessions. The law should De that
every court in the City should have power to try these
cases II were made their duty 10 do so, 1t would
rot be three months if they did their duty before the
Prohibtory Law would be broken no more than o,her
criminal laws The liquor sellers would lind that II
voud not nav 10 continue their business when sixty
seventy courts were all the while trying them for IT,
The law which had thrown all liquor cases into the
Court Of Special Sessions was, be understood passed
with no thoughts of its disastrous operation IN these
cases. These two obstacles should be removed by the
Legislature this winter, and if they were ont OF the
way the main obstacles TO the execution OF the law
would be removed. Mr.. Cepron then went on to show
Tint the opinions of Judges Bronson and Boards
lee and Mr.. Hill were not TO the effect
that the law was positively unconstitutional
and that they where said so. Temperance men had
no cause TO be discouraged. The law was constltu-
tional although it lad been decided not 10 be so
by some Judges whose noses pointed 10 the brandy
bottle az clearly as the needle to the pole, and whose
opinions were founded rather on their sppetes than
their Judgment Cheersl. Mr. Capron continued at
some length. When he concluded, Rev. I. j. War
rem stated some facts in relation 70 the Coleman a
Setson case and then offered the following resolution:
Reoed That the thanks Of this Alliance due TO E. L.
Capon Efq for the abe manner IN which he ha conducted
the prosecution those who have violated the uo law aud
has succeeded in getting the question OF the onsutonAy OF
the law fairly launched that must soon reach the highest
courts.
The resolution was unanimously adopted and the
meeting adjourned at l0 o'clock, but not until after
one Of Buchanan men had made final effort.
