THE LICENSING COMMISSIONERS AND FEMALE LICENSEES.

(To the Editor "of the Evening Star.) Sib,—l have read with much pleasure your leading articles in last night s Star, and also this evening's, commenting in manly language on the resolution arrived at by our Lioensing Commissioners; whereby they refuse to allow any woman to hold a license. I fully agree with you, that it is opposed to the spirit of British lawarbitrary and——(l was going to write a plain spoken phrase) to the numerous respectable females who from the ups and downs of colonial life, are obliged to turn their attention to public business at a means of maintaining themselves and those depending upon them- My object in writing this is to try "to prevent any obstacle being put in the way of a mother of a family striving to keep that family around her, rather than see them scattered through the world, owing to a new interpretation of a new law by new law expsunders, who, if allowed to errat all, skoulderr—if posjible—bjr being too liberal to a respectable'applicant,"and severe as they desire to the opposite clasi. —I am, <fee, J. G. Pollen street, Sept. 10th, 1875.
