![nKMEDIES. liny measure Avhicli nmy be introduced. Care must he taken not to mako it a party question. The clerjrv and miui.sters of various (lenommations might use their influence and «et up dr^putations to tlieir representatives on the subject.—4,111. From Chief Coiixldhleii. ' ft.v UonitUies. _ 2885. I would recommend an act providiu-,' that aftor a given time it shall be unlawful for brewers, distillers, or wine merchauts to be the owners of licensed houses, or to lend money to persons to take such houses.—463. 238G. Spii-it merchants, breAvers, malsters, and innkeepers should be prohibited l)ecouiing members of the town council of any city or borough, as police oflicers cannot well be strict with publicans when such persons are in authority over them.—55o. 2887. Make it illegal for brewers, victuallers, or other ])('rsons havi]ig any interest in the sale of intoxicating diinks to be members of any town council, as it is impossible for the pohce to ])erform their duties efficiently when such persons are placed in power over them as members of watch committees.—656. Skction 58. THE INCBEASED VIGILANCE OF THE POLICE. From Magistrates. Qy. Remedies. 2888. The increased supervision of the poUce has done much, and will, I think, be the best means of putting a stop to l)ublic drunkenness.—8,580. 2889. My e.s.perience does not extend beyond a country chstrict; but I think it would be very beneficial if the police had power to exercise more authority, so as to ^jrevent publicans from givi)ig liquor to men when in a state of intoxication. I have known instances of nipu drinking to excess for two or three days at the snme Public-House, perhajts merely returning home to sleep, and commencing again the following morning.
