Excerpt from The Intoxicating Liquor Licensing Acts, 1872, 1874: Together With All the Alehouse, Beerhouse, Refreshment House, Wine and Beerhouse, Inland Revenue, and Sunday Closing Acts Relating Thereto; With Introduction, Notes, and Index HE Licensing Act, 1872, recently passed, and which has made so many important changes in the laws relating to the sale of Intoxicating Liquors, was intended to settle some questions of domestic policy long agitated, confessed to be extremely difficult of treatment, and probably destined after a few years to be again and again made the subject of discussion. It was originally desired by the Government to introduce a consolidation of the multifarious laws on the subject; but practical difficulties prevented the realisation of SO desirable an Object, and the present Act thus adds one to a group of somewhat incongruous Statutes, and increases the diffi culty of its own interpretation. The Editor, after much consideration, has embodied his views of the leading difficulties that will arise under the new Act, and has suggested some solution of most Of them. This Edition also contains a complete collection of the existing statutory law on the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
