into cni.-lr'ncc on a capital of L 3 to <...-i;c !■> swell the criminal calendar of the town by the villainous compounds their proprietors sell to the unfortunates who are trapped by them. Thus the shearer, harvester, or miner melts his cheque. A few days, or weeks at most, find him without a penny, little less than a mendicant on the Queen's highway. Where has his L3O gone to 1 " Shouted," of course, or rolled out of his pocket in his miserable box of a bed. The landlord does not know. Maybe he gambled it. There's many a way a man can lose his money when he is drinking, says the virtuous sly-grog-seller. In Ireland, the law places it within the power of the Bench to issue a search warrant, on the application of the police, provided there be sufficient evidence brought forward to justify the proceeding. Armed with this instrument, the police may enter a house suspected of sly-grog-selling, and seize without hindrance the stock of unlicensed liquors. Those persons who are convicted of having on their premises an unlawful quantity of spirits, wines, or other liquors are liable to a heavy fine, imprisonment, or criminal prosecution. " Desperate diseases require desperate remedies," and such is the case in the town of Oamaru and the County of Waitaki, and the enactment of a law similar to the one quoted would do more good than Mr. Stout's far-famed "Local Option Bill," besides throwing trade into its proper channels, where it is within the power of peace officers to see that no improper advantage is taken of the license the law gives it.—l am, &c., A Tp«aYEl.i/er. i LATE ADVERTISEMENTS LODGE WAITAKL—No. 1111, E.O.
