The Taunton, .(Mass.) Dew Drop gives
the following: ..l4s4


we are now enabled TO lay before our rea-
ders full report of the actions against the
rumsellers of Bristol county, brought TO the c.
c.. Pleas, which closed it session in this town
last week i4tt Ell .ta+ Asth


Twenty seven cases was disposed of.

secutons. Let no man, then, offer an objec-
lion 10 the enforcement Of the law on this
ground. pe4.tf s...a ~
