Стр. 125 - Inquiry, — that there are at this time, within the Province of Canterbury, upwards of one thousand Parishes in which there is neither Public-House nor Beer-shop ; and where, in consequence of the absence of these inducements to Crime and Pauperism, according to the evidence before the Committee, the intelligence, morality, and comfort of the people are such as the friends of Temperance would have anticipated.
Стр. 105 - ... due observation, I have found that if the murders and manslaughters, the burglaries and robberies, the riots and tumults, the adulteries, fornications, rapes, and other enormities that have happened in that time, were divided into five parts, four of them have been the issues and product of excessive drinking — of tavern or ale-house drinking.
Стр. 105 - The places of judicature which I have long held in this kingdom, have given me opportunity to observe the original cause of most of the enormities that have been committed for the space of near twenty years ; and by a due observation I have found, that if the murders and manslaughters, the burglaries and robberies...
Стр. 107 - English vice, which makes us a by-word and a reproach among nations, who in other respects are inferior to us, and have not the same noble principles of Christianity to guide and direct them — I mean the vice of drunkenness. No doubt that this in most of these cases is the immediate cause, and it is a cause in two ways of the crimes which will come before you, and especially of the crime of highway robbery ; for whereas, on the...
