THE LICENSE Law.

To The Editor Of The N. y. TSibuHs
SIR: Your paper should be the last among the many
secular shoots judging from the moral tone which you
assume topromulgate false decision of law and give
il tie stamp OF y0ur assent, when such a decision
strikes directly at the enforcement Of Of the great
reformatory measures of the day. In your issue Of
this morning YOU assent TO the false principle enunca.
ted by Justice Cornwall of Brooklyn that only parties
who are licensed TO sell liquors bring themselves within
the criminal phase Of the Excise law, and that those
who sell liquors on Sunday can, if unlicensed only be
proceeded against in civil action for the recovery OF
$50 fine.
In this you are all wrong. The selling of liquors
at any time and on any day. without license, Is
made a misdemeanor-an indictable ofiense-by the
act of 1857 Under the latter act and the New Police
act the duty of the police enter all places where
liquors are sold whether on Sundays or other days,
and demand 10 the license of the party selling ana
if is not produced 10 Immediately arrest the party 10
selling and bring him, for misdemeanor committed
on view before the nearest magistrate TO be then dealt
with as the law directs. When you assented TO the
stupid doctrine of law thrown out by Cornwall did 1t
not strike you being very strange that the law
conld be 30 construed TO declare act committed
on week day to be msdemeanor and that the same
act committed on Sunday should be criminal oense
at all The only difference between an unlicensed
and licensed dealer, far the Sunday question IL
concerned is this: If licensed dealer should sell on
Sunday one of the penalties would be the forfeiture OF
his license but an unlicensed dealer, it is obvious
could not respond TO that part of the penalty.
a single glance at the law of 1857 will show you
that am right and that your comments and indorse-
men are wrong. In addition to this, and so far as the
liability of person in charge, or behind the bar, OF
an uncenced house is concerned it has been decided
in Sd Parker's New-York Criminal Reports, that a
clerk, agent or barkeeper, be convicted found
conducting unlicensed house at any time, whether on
SUNDAYS or week days. Such conviction was had as
will be seen by reference to the book referred TO-
Your comments are calculated to mlsead liquor
dealers. and thus increase the number of offenders
against the laws S. p. q. r.
