Prohibition
The liceusing sessions recently closed at Liverpool have been disastrous for the publicans. The local Poet says that such a catastrophe as has been befalleu the " trade " is not within the memory oE a living Boniface. A prominent city publican, who has several hostelries, said to the writer in our contemporary : " The trade now will scarcely make salt for one's porridgu. It has received a staggeriug, it' not a fatal blow. Some public- houses — I fear a large number I of a certain class — will before long be i thrown iuto the market. Townsmen will nut invest their money in them, for they know what is coming. They cannot pay without the patronage of the class we are strictly forbidden to serve, and there is nothing before them but start misery and bankruptcy. I camo to this conclusion for one particular reason, and that is our opponents are ever on the watch, and the fact that few persons enter certain houses will be used as an argument to prove that they are not required. There are houses in this neighbourhood which during the past week have not cleared expenses."
