The Southern Presbytery and Glasgow Bye-Laws.—The Presbytery, on 3rd April, adopted the following resolution with regard to the Bye-Laws for Places of Refreshment, recently passed by the Glasgow Town Council, and the Sheriff’s decision thereon:—”This Presbytery would earnestly urge the Town Council of Glasgow to adhere to the Bye-Laws for the Regulation of Places of Refreshment in the city, already passed by them, respectfully refusing to alter the same in accordance with the judgment of Sheriff Gardner Millar, and to appeal to Parliament in order to have the Act changed in such a way that one official would not have it in his power to over-ride the decision of the Town Council of a city, who represent the large majority of the rate-payers. The Presbytery would further express their decided opinion, that the evidence laid before the Sheriff fully justified the Bye-Laws of the Corporation as being absolutely necessary, from the moral and religious points of view, to check gross evils among
the youth of the city, and that any evidence given to the contrary was entirely based on personal and pecuniary interests, which ought to have no weight in the eyes of the Corporation.” The Clerk was instructed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Clerk of the Glasgow Town Council.
