“The police are at present actively engaged, endeavouring to stamp out a giant evil in the village (Lochee), in the shape of shebeens. It is considered that these illicit traders are in a very great measure to blame for the alarming and ever-increasing amount of Sabbath drinking here. We wish the police every success in their work.”
