Local Option.
London, March 16. A mass meeting of 20,000 publicans has passed resolutions protesting against the Local Control Bill. Lord Burton denounced it as the harshest form of tyranny and an attempt to pander to the votes of hypocrites and dissenters. The measures, if passed, would ruin the trade. He denied that the working classes desii'ed any such Bill. To 'show the evil of infant marriage in India, two husbands have been sent to gaol in Bombay for branding with hot irons the soles of the feet of their little Hindoo wives because they ran away to the residences of their mothers.
