IT is a measure based upon the broad principle that the Liquor Traffic is inimical to the | well being of the nation, and its preamble sets forth that — " Whereas the common sale of Intoxicating Liquors is a fruitful source of Crime, Immorality, Pauperism, Disease, Insanity, and premature Death, whereby not only the individuals who give way to drinking habits are plunged into misery, but grievous wrong is done to the persons and property of Her Majesty's subjects at large, and the public rates and taxes are greatly augmented : and whereas it is right and expedient to confer upon the ratepayers of Cities, Boroughs, Parishes, and Townships the power to prohibit such common sale as aforesaid." Its provisions would simply give effect to the public opinion of the country upon a traffic which is confessedly dangerous and difficult to control. It would give ratepayers the power to prohibit the traffic by a decided majority, a right confined at present to Licensing Magistrates and landowners, who seldom permit a public house to be licensed near their own dwellings, and who frequently exercise their power as landlords to prohibit them over large districts. Its principal clauses provide — I. That any time after the passing of the Act it shall be lawful for a given number of ratepayers in any Borough, Parish, or District, to require the Mayor or Overseers to take the votes of the ratepayers as to the propriety of bringing into operation the provisions of the Act.* 11. That the Mayor or Overseers shall, oh receipt of snch requisition, cause voting papers to be delivered to, and collected from, all ratepayers within the district. HL That if, on examining these voting papers, it was found that two-thirds of those voting were in favor of the adoption of the Act, no license could be granted or renewed within that district after the term for which the license was current. It is therefore a Bill which could only come into operation when a very large majority in any district were in its favor, and as a result would, after all, prohibit only a privileged monopoly. ALEX. HAY, R.S., Sons of Temperance. DAVID BONTHRON, W.S. Independent Order of Good Templars. ♦All details, such as the number required to sign the requisition, extent of the district, &c. would be decided in Committee, after the general principle of the Bill had been accepted.
