Moral -- Alcohol

The first and second days of the April term of the County Court, which convenes on the 29th, has been set apart by Judge Gillet for the hearing of applications for liquor licenses. Judge Gillet, it is said, requires a strict regard to the letter of the law, and that evidence will be brought to bear against many applicants, tending to show their unfitness for the business. The Judge has announced the purpose of having investigated a violation of the law, never before enforced here, in forcing liquor dealers selling by the drink, and having merely a bar-room license, which does not permit of intoxicants being sold in another way, to get additional license or be prosecuted.
