Some of the licensed victualk-rs are movhag to obtain a repeal of this ridiculous ilegislation . A great meeting of members of the London trade-was held at tlie -Freemasons Tavern , on Thursday , when Mr . -Simpson , of Gremorne , who was in the chair , denounced the conduct of the Licensed

    Victuallers Protection Society , and of the Morning Adver ~ tiser , in becoming parties to the bilh Mr . Simpson ' s own grievance , which is a public one , is that for tho greater . part of Sunday afternoon he is unable to supply refreshment to tho crowds who flock to his gardens for innocent amusement . Mr . Luce , of Hampton Court , said that the views and position of the suburban hotel-keepers were not quite identical with those of the metropolitan members of thes trade . Those l'esiding in his own district had lately held a meethigin reference-to the question , at'which they resolved to keep their houses open during the prohibited hours , ami to serve their Sunday custonwi = s , 'whom ; tlley regarded as " bond Jide tTsivcllers .
