[Incomplete] Concerning a new daily paper.

Gives his views upon licensing and other aspects of the liquor trade. The proposed granting of compensation to the current holders of licences. Believes that the provisions of the 1881 Sunday Closing Act should be extended to England and that it should be amended in relation to Wales. He is opposed to the granting of grocers' licences, and believes that much Sunday drinking is the result of the sale of 41/2 gallon casks by brewers and grocers. Publicans are too often unfairly blamed for this. The people rather than the magistrates should be given the power to grant licences. The system of tied houses is now very common and is contrary to the spirit of the Licensing Laws. As long as a house is licensed, the publican should be answerable only to the law and should be free to purchase his supplies from the most competitive source.
