Abstract
Notes by Edward Hitchcock for a meeting on a new liquor law. Hitchcock has written at the head of the first page, "Meeting to consider what duties devolve upon us in relation to the new law of the state called the liquor law." Hitchcock describes the different parts of the law, which outlaws the sale of liquor aside from for medicinal, chemical, and mechanical uses. He writes what the various penalties are for breaking the law, and notes the date it will go into effect. Additionally, Hitchcock writes notes to himself to give an account of the Massachusetts Temperance Convention and to read several resolves which passed.
