Private Pot-Houses. A Correspondent, in alluding to the convictions for selling ale without licence lately recorded in this Journal, makes the following judicious observations :-" The illicit practice of selling ale and spirituous liquors without licence is very usual and it strongly behoves the public officers of every parish (if they are disposed conscientiously to do their duty according to their oaths) to restrain and to detect such baneful offences by every means in their power.- The public-house is under the wholesome control of the laws, and its conduct may and ought to be properly guarded by the vigilance of the parish constables and churchwardens; but the private pot-house at one and the same time defrauds the revenue, injures the fair trader, and gives a secret and secure harbour to the nightly villain of every description."
