The Temperance League Chasing the Re- tailers—Convietions and Fines for Selling Liquer—Licenses Declared Invalid—Great Consternation—No telhng how matters will end. \ The excitement in relation to the liquor traf- fie is raised to an extreme heightiin this city at present, on account of the daily persecutions of the temperasice fanatice, A large number of retailers have been arrested and made to pay fines. Oar criminal magistrates are not unani- mons in their decisions. Our Court of Special Sersions decides that persons having obtained Vicensea from the proper anthority to retail liquor upon thelr preraires, bave an undoubted right to do 60, if it is not. sold on Sundays, to minors, or to drunken, riotous persons. Anotber court decidvs that all grocers are prohibited from retailing, and upon being reoognised to spear, uniformily inflicts a fine, whicb if not paid instantly, a decree is issued to incarcerate the offender thirty daysin the penitentiary. A month or so since, the court deoided that the license’ protected the seller, ‘and yesterday the same: court, or rather the same presiding Judge, fur the idensical offence, conipesled rome twenty persods, some of waom-} we ampg the must respectable class, to pay ‘fines or suffer imprisoument, Such ocovtrary decizions. issuing irom the same tribuval bas excited surprice among s Glass of Jaw abiding citizens, “Lhe proaecutions have thus far beea instituted by a common informer, backed up by three individuals, who cet themeelves up as the committee of tbe Albany Protection League The term ‘common in‘ormer” hs been £0 ering described +o often, beth in this country and in England, that it is perfectly familiar with all classes of readers. Though these proceedings are becoming more }rowinent every day, still not a paper io this ci'y, “ independeot” though all oudoabt-d- Jy are, bas ventused to iuiorw the public, nor pblith any of the doings of the Court is the matter. The politicians are alraid to meddle with it. fewring the elections abead. There is an understand ng ot this question strongly de- manded. ‘Ihe Moyors of this city, for 170 years, each successive Mayor, ever since the cbarter was granted by Thomas Dongan, under James the Second of Bayland, in the year 1686, has under that anthority, gravtea licenses to persons for the purpose of retailing liquor. The clauce in the charter stands thus: “The Mayor of the said elty, fer the time being, and no other, shall have power and authority to give and gravt Jicenses annually, uader tke public sea) of the said city, to all tavern keepers, vie- tuallers, and al) public sellers of wine, styong waters, cider, beer, or any other sort of liquors, by retail within the city »foresaid, or the liber- ties and pursuits thereof?’ &. Peveona who Lave made an examination of the question, de- clare that the power above quoted remains in feice this day, never having been revoked, altered or amended. The preseut Mayor, when in office in 1846, shielded himecif behind this harrier, though a majority of our citizens had declared in favor of “no license.” Now, as then, he has issaed licenses, and the retailers now. as then, thought themselves protected under the corporate sva) of this angieat city, and the signature and approval of tue chief magistrate thereof. Now, the officers chosen to aominister the law, are presumed to understand and expound it to the people. In pede Jieenses for the current year, Mayor uta elve pursued the usoal course, scrutiniz- ing ra: ber more closely, probably, and inquir- ing more strictly into the character of the ap plicants, in conseqnence of the ent excit -- ment upon the subject. But, if the court is ecrrect in imposing penalties for selling liquor, what protection is the bit of paper called a licente? None whatever. The Mayor says :— Be it known to all whom it may concern, that I, the said Mayor, by virtue of the powers in me veat d, have given and granted, are there presenta do give and grant to A. B. per on to retail strong or spirituous liquors under five gallons. There is no reservation whatever, excep: closing shopa on Sundays, and the necessity of keeping a peaceable und raged Boag at all times. Now, if the antbority which the chief magistrate of the city o-sumea, is no protec- tion against prosecution, fines and imprison- mnent, and is no stay of proceedings before any star chamber court, then what js the paper pur- porting to give permission to retail liquor werth? Nota rusty ten-ponny nail, nor the threds which dangle from the seedy coat of a ‘common informer.” Then, if the avthorities of the city of Albany cannot protect and defend the nt f and signed papers which they iseue, what are the holders of those papers, alias licenses, condemned in advance hy the court, to do with them! Tho suthoritles issued them, and received for each one—rome thousand in all—from twelve to twenty dollars. Inducements were held out to all our citizens—aye, public notice wea given ip the paperr, informing all persons who desired te retail liquor during the current year, that the depnty excise offcers would attend o: the Mayor's rooin, oa certain days, to grant licenses to retail liquor, For this privilege money was exacted. and a large amount collected; and no sooner did many of the retailers return, forti- fied, as they imagined thoy were, by the Mayor’s protection in their pocket from molestation, when a police officer walked into their premises with a warrant, dragging them directly before & magietrate for retailing liquor. ‘This state of things cannot endure, The city mrt either refund the money paid for bicensea, t herwise sustain those who Daye purchased hat protection. . And if it is decided to refund what hos been ae the present year, the Com- mon Conneil will find itself compelled to refead to thoee who have made similar payments dur- ing the last twenty or more years. The laws under which the Court alleges to possess power to.impose these fines and penalties, are more venerable than the Revised Statates.
