The Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners
met yesterday, all the members present. A dele
cation of six persons appeared before them pre-
senting remonstrance, signed by thirteen hundred
persons against enforcing the Sunday laws There
were in the delegation Rev. DIR. Maxon, of the
Eleventh street Seventh Day Baptist Church Rev.
Geo. B. Utter, of the same denomination, and agent
of their Tract Society," Rev. Charles Sham, of the
German Lutheran Church, and Rev. Joseph L.
Hatch, of the Congregational Church. The docu-
ment set forth that the Sunday laws were a dead
letter, and instituted for sectarian purposes
and not with the design OF suppressing intemper-
ance. 1t suggests that the law should be enforced
all days of the week alike, and no more on Sun
day than any other day. Mr.. Hatch said that the
liquor dealers we're opposed to the movement, as
they deemed it to favor the lager beer interest and
thereby injure their business. The Board did not
act on the remonstrance. The designations of Ser
geant Van 0rdeu, of the Sixteenth precinct and of
Oliver B. Stout were received. Jason Mills, of the
Nineteenth, and James L. Lawrence, of the Twenty
first precincts, were removed for cause.
