For those wishing to know: James Ewing Ritchie was an anti-drink
campaigner and with others had succeeded in getting a law that limited the
sale of alcholol on Sunday. Others had complained about the limits and
the British Parliament held an inquiry where the publicans tried to get
the new law scrapped. They failed and this short pamphlet is mainly
Ritchie gloating somewhat!
All the best,
David,
England with cloudy skies and wet roads
