The Rum Trade in Trinidad.

In view of the contemplated chang
es in our laws concerning the sale of
spirituouS liquors, the following ex-
tracts from a letter published by DR..
KnaggS Of Trinidad in the Port of
Spain Gazette will be found to have
some interest =
If the utmost malignity had design
ed the downfall OF the Colony, nc
more trenchanl weapon could have
been prepared than the Rum Ordin-
ance as 1t stands mow. irresponsible
magistrates are empowered by it to
grant licences " at their own sweet
WILL" against all propriety and in
direct opposition to the expressed will
of the inhabitants Of any district, to
any scoundrel who may have money
to pay for a l%icence: and if he has
not enough to take out an annual
l%icence, he may have one for nine
months-or six months-or if he still
cannot manage that, for three monthSl
In Port OF Spain these licences cost
a big sum-; in San Fernando less
in St. Joseph's less still and in the
country districts, where our valuable
agricultural labourers have to be
debauched to obtain the revenue, a
quarterly Iicence can be obtained for
the ridiculousIy small price of S48 or
G10 sterling. No wonder that with
ability thus conferred to sell water
at 8 shillings a gallon, and such faci-
lities for the distiller and licensee,
grasping men with plenty of money
and little principle take out three or
fourlicences! No wonder that theSur-
geon-General depIores the thriflless
and %extravagant habits of the coolies
(only thriftless and extravaganza be-
cause they cannot withstand what Dr..
Mitchell SO APPLY termed ''the fasci-
nation of the rum shop" and com

ton as is shown by the Justices in

it is verify wonderful to me that SO
little injury is produced-great as
that little IS.
With your permission | will reit-
crate that in my opinion licensing
such a baneful traffic is altogether un-
wise and wrong; but as it would be
impossible at present to sweep it
away, | will venture to suggest how

from Centre, he saw i'm the road ahead of him n
slight, dark-complexioned man, apparently
going towards the bushes the side OF the
road. The man, who appeared TO be drunk.
when he saw Mosher turned back to a wagon
Standing near by and threw something on IL
he then got in himself and drove away Az
Mosher passed he saw part of the legs and feet
Oh a man Sucking out from under some boxes OF
eggs, and also saw blood on the wagon. When
Mosher was returning home he saw the same
wagon standing in the middle OF the road but the
man whom he had seen had Disappeared.
Mosher went TO the wagon and found The bodv
OF a man in IL, which on Investigation proved To
be that of Richard Nelson Lawton, about thirty-
seven years old, residing near Westport He
mao undoubtedly been murdered, there were
several marks of what appeared 10 be shot ON
the left side of his head, and his skull was frac-
tured on the right side by a blow from some
heavy instrument There was a great deal OF
blood on the front of the wagon and ON the
shafts Lawton had evidently been struck
down while driving, and the murderer had at
tempted TO hide the body by putting the egg
boxes on IL. There was a rope around the neck
with the intention of dragging the body To the
woods and hanging IL up. The pockeibouk OF
the unfortunate man was gone. The murder

hours before the remains were discovered IA
