NOUR fellow citizens of Louisville respectfully


i beg leave to bring to your consideration and
ask your immediate action upon the subject of the
Sabbath breaking Coffee Houses in this CITY,
Many of our industrious mechanics and trades
men, released from their ordinary avocations, on
the Sabbath, are allured into these receptaces of
vice on that day, and are tempted not only to a
ruinous expenditure of their money but into hab-
its the most fatal to their morals and their lives
AS it is impossible for the officers to take cogni-
zance of the numerous violations of the present
law against the sale of intoxicating drinks on the
Sabbath, and as the fine is so small that when de-
tectcd it does not prevent repetition of the act
we would respectfully petition that clause be
hereafter inserted in every license, that single
violation of the Sabbath shall prevent renewal Of
such license and that more efficient measures be
adopted to close on the Sabbath all the licensed
houses for the retail of intoxicating drinks.
