Evidence Of Dr. Richards Before The Royal Commission On Licensing
A correspondent has sent an extract taken from the evidence given before the Koval Commission on Licensing, by Dr. Richards, D. 5.0., M. 8.8.5., M.R. C.S., L.R.C.P, of Auckland. li i> well worth quoting. Indeed the vvhoi • of his evidence should be broadcash If we can do anything in the way ot making it widely known, let us do it.
I>r Richards speaks “As a Citizen,” and also “As a Doctor,” and what he says is marked by a simple, unvarnished style which carries conviction because it is free from any attempt to hr sensational. “As a Doctor,” he gave details of 14 cases with which he had dealt in the previous fortnight, where the trouble was directly caused by alcoholic drinking. “The children suffered,” he said, and gave instances of the repercussions caused by prinking parents.
