 The Scott Acl in New Brunswick. 
 
 The Canada Teipperance Act generally known as the Scott Act 
 Is not total prohib'ition, nor can it be as pflFective as prohibition would 
 be. Intoxicating liquor ma^ be freely brought into counties in which it 
 isjn force, the sale pnly being illégal. Notwithstanding this serions 
 ditticulty, ifc has accomplished very much good in the part of New 
 Brunswick' in which it is in opération. 
 
 The Scott Act was carried in ten counties of New Brunswick 
 and in the cities of Portland and Fredericton. One of thèse counties 
 was St. John, ia which is situated the city oï St. John, with which the 
 city of Portland is now united. The Scott Act was not carried in St 
 John city. This intierfered seriously with thé usefulnes's of the law 
 in St. John county and Portland. It was repealed in thèse places 
 and the whole of St. John county is now under license. The Scott 
 Act is still in opération in the other nine counties, and aiso in the 
 cities of Fredericton and Moncton which are situated in York and 
 Westmoreland counties respectfully. Moncton was a part of West- 
 moreland when that county adopted the Act.

 LE8S DRUNKENNE88AND CRIME. 
 
 ^ Important évidence relating to New Brunswick is furnished in a 
 document prepared by .Mr. George Johnstôn, Dominion Statistician 
 in response to a letter from the chairman of the Royal Com- 
 mission, addressed to the Hon. the Finance Minister, asking for 
 ^stati^tica relating teeoftvictions -for orime nr thôse parts of tKff^ 
 Dominion in which prohibition laws were in opération, and for similar 
 information relating to places not under the opération of such laws. 
 J^romthis report the following paragraphs are taken : 
 
THE SCOTT ACST IN NEW BRUN8WIOK4 
 
 The crime returns for the province of Ontario afre made to thô 
 Statiatics branch at Ottawa in accordance with divisions of the country 
 provided by tte Provlncia) Government. The ix)pulation in 1«81 is 
 ffiven according to divisions provided by the Fédéral authorities. A» 
 Uiese two sets of divisions do not coincide, it becomes difflcult to 
 designate the Scott . Act counties so that comparisons may be made as 
 to the growth of population anà other^points. . , - 
 
 There is, however, in the province Ôf New Brunswick a group of 
 nine counties whose territorial division hâve remained the same. 
 Thèse nine counties hâve been under the Scott Act for more than ten 
 yearp. They are ail connected geographically. They contain 61 per 
 cent, of the whole population of the province. Thev hâve within their 
 bordera several flourishing cities and towns, as Fredericton, Mary ville, 
 Woodstock, St. Stephen, Milltown, Ohatham, Moncton. They seem 
 in every respect a group fairly représentative of the country, m 
 industries, in religions beliefs, in racial and in gênerai conditions. 
 
 In respect to crimes the statistics show that in the ten years 1882-01 
 (both yeara included) there were 22,811 convictions in the province of 
 New Brunswick. • * * Divided according to Scott Aet counties 
 and non-Scolt Act counties, there were 8,738 in the nine Scott Act 
 counties and 14,102 in the other counties, or 384 per cent, in the nine 
 countils and 61 -6 per cent, iiï the non-Scbtt Act counties, judged l)y the 
 criminal statistics. That is to say 61 per cent, of the population had 
 38i per cent, of the criminal convictions and 30 per cent, of the popula- 
 tion had 61Î per cent, of the crime as indicated oy the convictions. 
 
 Thèse facts are very forcible. Mr. Johnston might hâve followed 
 the comparison further. Of the 22,841 convictions, 13,598 were for 
 the offence of drunkenness. Of thèse 4,986 were in the Scott Act 
 counties, and 8,612 in the counties in which license was in opération. 
 That is to say, sixty-one per cent, of the population (under Scott Act) 
 had thirty-six and one-half per cent, of the convictions for drunkenness, 
 and thirty-nine per cent, of the population (under license) had sixty- 
 three and one-half per cent, of the convictions for drunkenness. 
 Tbese résulta are summed up briefly in the foUowing table : 
 
 / 
 
 There can be no arrangement made of the figures for drunkenness 
 and other crime in the province of New Brunswick, which will not 
 show that the Scott Act counties as a whole bave a record for sobriety 
 and comparative freedom from crime far ahead of the record of those 
 coundés in which the liquor traffic is still licensed.
