and County ofNew York.
We have already published In full. with some
explanatory remarks, the act lately passed by
our Legislature 'to suppress intempersnee and
regulate the sale Of Intoxicating liquors" through

ration Of the law in this city and county, we sub.
nit the following special exposition, for the bene-
I'll Of all parties concerned.
