CHERRY GARDENS

Now that this place is brought under the jurisdiction of the borough, we think that an occasional visit to the Tavern from our police on Sundays might not be unproductive of good, in checking some measure of the evil influence which seems to be extending itself to the juvenile portion of our population, who resort there in the afternoons. We were ourselves witness on Sunday afternoon last to a disgraceful exhibition of drunkenness in a boy of only about twelve years old, who was returning across the fields in a state of complete intoxication, and who, but for our interference, would have been subjected to gross ill-treatment from his companions, who had much difficulty to get him along – we being obliged to follow them into the town to see that he was safely got home.
