T7IXTRACT from a report on an Anaiyris JJJ of G-AKDNEB & Co.'s " X India" Pale Ale, made by Professor Alfred S. Tayloe, M.D., F.R.S., of G-uy's Hospital, London : — "I believe this to be a sample of good, wholesome, and genuine Beer, sufficiently strong in alcohol to render it a pleasant stimulant, and to confer on it keeping properties. The mineral matter or ash is in smull proportion, no greater than that which should be found in a genuine decoction of malt. It consists of alkaline, phosphate, and chloride salts, which are naturally found in the blood, and which may be regardoi aa necessary constituents of our daily food. In the form and proportion in which they exist in this sample they are conducive to health, and confer whoiesomo properties on the Ale. "As to the quality of the Ale for Indian con sumption, I do not see that it admits of any improvement. It has the genuine taste which only malt and hops of good quality skilfully proportioned can give. " Apart from the results of this ohemioal analysis, which has been made for my own satisfaction, I have U3ed this Ale as an article of diet for several weeks, and I find it to be as wholesome and proper for daily use a3 its chemical composition indioates."

THE TLK.A. MONSTER PETITION, QN the 10th April, 1872, the Annual Licensing Day, the above petition was, contrary to law or precedent, smuggled before the Bench of Justices, the Mayor himself leaving his seat on the Bench to introduce the bearers of same, after which he resumed his seat on the Bench, and together with a brother Justice—Mr. Archibald Clark —who had signed the petition, lent their interest for its introduction. No wonder that in spite of the strong pro test made the Bench decided to receive the petition, stating they would not be influenced by anything it contained. The after proceedings leave little doubt how far that promise was car ried out by the majority. The Eev. Maunsell was chosen as the represen tative of the party. The high char acter of that gentleman is a sufficient proof that ho was no party to the infamous contents of tho petition. Of his coadjutors I will say nothing. Some hundreds of persons sigued, being of opinion that there were plenty of hotels to meet the requirements of the people, and in complete ignorance of the last clause, which prayed that a license should bo refused to any-house against which an information had been laid. These zealous reformers could not wait for a conviction, but would, upon informa tion only, rob the widow and fatherless of their only support. For why ? The first four sheets were in old hands, and were carefully nursed, but at sheet five commences a system of duplication seldom attempted, certainly never equalled. Some of the parties so signing might plead ignorance, but names will be found there duplicated, and triplicated, the owners of which will find it difficult to explain. What shall we say of the canvasser who lent himself to such practices ? Many of the sheets bear unmistakable evidence that the canvasser has entered the the names in batches. Over five hundred have signed in pairs; forty nine persons have signed twice, and no doubt many more, could the petition be properly scrutinised and tested. Ten hundred and fifty male signatures, thirteen hundred and fifty-four female signatures, and one hundred and aixty-three aflixed their X mark. This includes children, of which no inconsiderable number have been signed for. Great doubt attaches tc many signatures signed as by the husband for the wife, or by the wife for the husband, such as — Ann Gill, for Colin Gill. Stephen Dearly, for Lousia Dearly. Isabella Mason, for Peter Mason. Margaret Ferguson, for William Ferguson. Sarah Ladd, for Alfred Ladd,



This occurs on nearly every sheet throughout the petition, to the number of two hundred anclsevenfcy-seven times, and representing five hundred and fifty-four names. The forty-nine persons found to have signed twice are as under— Sheet 1. E. B. Shalders, repeated on sheet 25, E. B. Shalders Sheet 2.

I would propose that the foregoing, with whatever alterations the Com mittee may deem fit to make, shall be published in tho Evening Stae of Friday and Saturday, and in the Herald and Cross on Saturday and Monday, and that a full page should be devoted of each paper to that purpose ; that no better purpose could be found for the funds of the Society, as the petition is a blow to the true interests of the L. V. A., and a lie upon Society, contrary to all honesty or justice. Signed: on behalf of the L.V. Association. EOBT. HAYWOOD, President..
