PROHIBITION LAWS.
TO THE EDITOR , g lß —xi is asserted that, if prohibition is carried in New Zealand, it will be unlawful lo make home-brewed beer or home-made wino for one’s own consumption, and that any justice of the peace may issue a war rant for the search of one’s house by poll coin on at any hour of the day or night, I am a temperate man in every respect, and am opposed to many evils that the sin of drunkenness entails, but these alleged measures are alarming. Is this another trick of the trade to bludgeon the unthinking?— I am, etc., . Anxious. Dunedin, September 9. [The law on the subject provides that, in event of a determination in favour of national prohibition, ‘‘it shall be unlawful for any person to have in his possession for the purpose of sale, or to import into New Zealand, or to manufacture or sell, intoxicating liquor of any description.” The police ■will necessarily have the right of search in any case where there is reason to suspect a breach o£ the law.— Ed. O.D.T.Jj,
