Temperance and prison statistics cited in old journal
The article reviews prison records for women, noting most had prior imprisonments and some up to thirty nine times. It then summarizes John Taylor of the National Temperance League urging inspections of public houses, shorter hours, fewer pubs, and Sunday closures amid rising drinking, especially among women. It cites Liverpool prison commitments rising from 9 913 in 1864 to 13 313 last year and mentions Canon Ellison and William Hoyle to be discussed later.
