PROHIBITION ORDERS.
TO TEE EDITOR. Sib,—For once I con agree with your correspondent Michael Hart, regarding the Magistrate’s decision in the recent Court case; that is assuming the prohibited person wan not drunk when he got his glass of beer. Ido so for this reason, that in this particular caao there appeared to bo neither shuffling nor perjury resorted to. But that is not to say that every publican should be let off scot free, especially when it can be proved that the publican does know tho person prohibited, which, I cm afraid, is sometimes tho case. The ease ia question should be a. caution to prohibited" persona, as they will now know that they at least cannot set the law at defiance without incurring a grave responsibility to themselves and cheirfriends. I have great sympathy for the friends of tho prohibited ones, but none for tho lawbreakers.-™! am, &c., OBSERVER.
