Permissive Prohibitory Liquor Bill Backed by Alliance

United Kingdom Alliance pushes Sir Wilfrid Lawson’s bill to empower ratepayers to prohibit liquor licences in their parish or borough. The measure, aiming to reduce pauperism and crime, would allow communities to bar licensing, not grant licenses, and seeks a £100,000 five year fund to build public support and cover campaigning expenses.

Principles of the Alliance Proclaimed at Manchester Meeting

The General Council of the Alliance in October 1853 in Manchester adopted seven propositions opposing liquor traffic. They condemn intoxicating drinks as harmful to individuals and society, urge prohibition, and argue state support is unjust. Water C. Trevelyan signs for the Council.
