PALMERSTON, NORTH.
[to THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND MAIL.] Sir, —Would you inform me if the law permits a publican in a country town to sell “ ad libitum ”on Sunday. Tbe Sabbaths of Palmerston, I regret to say, if yesterday’s scenes are to be enacted, are not fit for any civilised man to share in. The maniacal faculties of some, occasioned by this Sunday trading of nobbler3, will be, if fostered, a means of seducing, wholesale, the younger generation, and spreading one of the worst of vices. I purposely omit to mention the outrages upon men, horses, and dogs during the drunken revel of yesterday, but hope ere another Sabbath arrives the policeman the Government have promised will be permanantly stationed here.—l am, &e., December 18. A New Resident.
