A number of the publicans have resorted to the practice of holding, what is termed, a " free and easy," in their houses on Saturday nights, at which a number of tradesmen spend a great part of their earnings, and leave their families in starvation during the ensuing week. Next to masters paying their servants in public houses, this is the greatest evil to which the working classes can be subjected, and it is to be hoped, that the police will look strictly after the houses where they take place, and see that they are cleared and closed at the hours allowed by their license.
