The New Sunday Liquor Law Vindicated
1855
The New Sunday Liquor Law Vindicated, published in 1855 by J. Ewing Ritchie, is a historical account defending the New Beer Bill, which restricted public house hours on Sundays in Great Britain. Ritchie argues that the law effectively reduced drunkenness and crime, countering the complaints of publicans who felt threatened by the changes. He presents evidence and testimonies from working-class individuals and respectable publicans, advocating for the law as a means to improve public morality and social conditions. The work highlights the societal benefits of the legislation amidst the backlash from the alcohol trade.
