MEETING AT WELLINGTON.
At a numerously attended meeting in Wellington, the following resolutions were carried :—»
" That, in the opinion of this meeting, a very large proportion of the vice, crime, disease, poverty, and other social evils which exist in this Colony are direct results of the traffic in and the using of alcoholic beverages." " That no system of licensing laws has yet been effective for the prevention of those evils, to prevent which they were enacted, and that, therefore, a change is necessary, both in the principle and method of the laws dealing with the liquor trade." " T'lat the principle embodied in the Local Option Bill is equitable, practicable, and likely to afford the public relief from many of the evils arising from the consumption of intoxicating liquors."
