It was clear that it was the intent of the Legislature to make no distinction of classes as between those who held and did ot hold licenses on the 1st of May, 1866, That intent was a substantive part of the whole scheme of the law; it was precisely the same ease as was before the Court of Appeals under the law of 1855; the case of Weil hamer agt.

A reformation of the publie, collectiveiy and as | individuals, way be very much calied for and’ desired. | Certain vices, however, are better coutrolled, if social inter- conrse permits their gratification in public, than b being retired or driven into privacy. There is some probability of an individual, who has an inordioate foudness for drink, being restraiued, if be can yield to bis favorite passion in the | presence of hie tellow-beinzs.

After consultation, 1t had been decided that this action should be brougbt, and the complaint was drawn after consultation to | test the question.
