TEMPERANCE IN FRANCE.
OLD RIGHT WITHDRAWN.
Times and Sydney Sun Service*. (Received September 12. 5.5 p.m.)
London, September 11.
The French Government has suppressed the old privilege to the peasant class of a right to distil for private consumption. Enormous advantage has been taken of the privilege, fully a million peasants distilling brandy and other spirituous liquors from the fruit crop. A reduction of the number of public houses is also contemplated.
