The Court Of Appeals, sem. con-, has
decided that all who sell intoxicating
drinks without license, are indictsble
according 70 the license act Of 1857,
thus upsetting tho nunsroas decisions Of
tn lower courts to the contrary, and let
ting the many very learned opinions Of
our eminent lawyers, in favor Of free
trade in rum, and rumsellers' rights,
60 for what they we're worth--or sold for.
We can hardly imagine it possible that
any judge or lawyer, or any person Of
common sense, ever for moment serious
entertained the opinion that tho license
law Of 1857 took away al penalties from
those who sold liquor without license
Yet, 80 long q those Who occupied the
position of judges in our courts and who
had the reputation Of being able lawyers,
could be found to argue and decide every
legal or constitutional question, teohni-
cality, point, or quibble in favor Of ram,
the efforts Of the temperance party were
virtually paralysed. But nov that the
law is declared BY the court Of last resort
to be prohibitory instead Of protective 70

val Of measures 70 promote Temperance

and hence the necessity Of tho visit from
the ''Regulators,' who warned him to

You will recollect that about one year

to reform and keep better house, which
