A BREWER OBJECTS TO A PUBLIC HLiuSE near his own RESIDENCE. AT a licensing meeting in Brighton, .England, a solicitor, in applying lor a public-house license on behalf of a client, said he was surprised to see Mr. Ashby, a brewer, opposing a public-house. Mr, Ashby said “ho did not oppose it as a brewer, but as a private person, who had paid a large sum of money, trusting TO GET A RESIDENCE FREE FROM ANNOYANCE. Ho asked the solicitor, as the father of a family, how he could advocate the erection of SUCH A SERIOUS NUISANCE il' he had the slightest regard for the welfare and proper bringing-up of his family?” The mental twist of this brewer is like the ways of Bret Harto’s Heathen Chinee —"very peculiar.” Ho opposes a public-house license being granted because, to use liis 6wn language, it is a “serious nuisance,” and ho complains of the Injustice of granting it on the ground that ho “paid a large sum of money, trusting to get- a residence Iree from annoyance.” Is it not remarkable that Mr. Ashby should regard a publichouse as a “serious nuisance” when adjacent to his own residence, and yet believe it to be a public necessity when opened next door to other people’s homes? Surely the rest of the community have as much right as himself to “residences free from annoyance.” Mr. Ashby is so satisfied that the sale of his own beer necessarily and inevitably creates an “annoyance,” that he paid a lot of money in order to be freed from it, ■and yet is only too ready to inflict these annoyances upon others as his chief or sole source of income. In other words, he uses a part of his income derived from an annoyance to others in order to ensure immunity from it himself. A man who will assume such an extraordinary position as this is a mental puzzle and a moral tragedy. This liquor dealer pathetically appealed to the solicitor on the other side, and asked “how he could advocate the erection of such a serious nuisance if ho had the slightest regard for the welfare and proper bringing-up of his family?” He admits that a family canlint be brought up properly when living close to a imblic-house, and yet ho°is anxious to plant any number of them in the most thickly inhabited places. He is specially careful to protect his own family from the drink curse, but the families of others can go to the devil as far as he is concerned. And when we try to prevent him erecting a public-house near to the homes of other pcoplo that he objects to having close to his own, ho would raise his eyebrows in horror, and declare that the o ,v 'iosition was a gross and unwarrantable interferenco with the liberty of the subject. What colossal selfishness! It 'is well known that brewers and many publicans take good care to live at a respectable distance from the serious nuisances” and “annoyances' that they create, and from which they draw incomes almost “beyond the' dreams of avarice.” Advt.
