A NOVEL PUBLICHOUSE.
NO SMOKING ALLOWED. AND ONLY ONE GLASS OF BEER. There is one publicliouse in London w|th which, the most enthusiastic reformer would have difficulty in finding fault, says the Daily News. It is 90 years old. At the Ship, in Artillery Lane, Bishopsgate, it is announced that no one may he served more than once, and that smoking is prohibited. Even talking is not allowed unless carried on in a sufficiently quiet manner. The innocent customer who lights a pipe, orders another glass of beer, or raises his voice is referred to the following rules hanging on the wall : —“ No person or parly of persons can he served under any circumstances more than once, the rule being that he. she, or they (as the ease may lie) must have left the house at least half an hour before being entitled to he served again. The quantity supplied upon any occasion for consumption on the premises not to exceed one gill of wine, half a gill of spirits, or one glass of malt liquor for each person. “ Persons using obscene or profane language, talking loudly, or in any way misconducting themselves, cannot be served at any time or under any circumstances whatever.
“ Smoking is strictly prohibited at all times and under all circumstances.”
