Breweries and No-License Districts.
STATEMFNT BY SI ft J. G. WARD Wellington, December 2. In reference to the protests against the proposed eieetiou of a brewery just outside the No-licence district of Ashburtou, Sir Joseph Ward has replied that whatever the law requiies the Goverment will carry out. The Prime Minister has intimated his opinion that whoever is responsible for the proposal is acting unwisely. He is satisfied that it was never contemplated, where the people had decided iu favour of No-licence, that practical iy a defiance of the law should take place. It is evident, says Sir Joseph, that such a brewery cm be legally erected, but he has no hesitation iu saying that this ought not to be done. He is determined that the will of the people shall be respected, and if a brewery is erected on the borders of Ashburton Parliament will be asked to legislate to prohibit such a thiug.
