The Rev. D. Moore, in a note to his sermon “Our Sabbaths in Danger,” quotes the following statement, supplied to him from a source which may be “implicitly relied on.”—“There are no less than seven public-houses now in course of erection, or about to be erected, near the Crystal Palace, one of which is to cost £30,000, and to contain stabling for 500 horses, tea-gardens, &c. The road leading from Anerly is literally thronged from ten to six o’clock every Sunday, and persons of all grades are to be seen there, some selling by the way side, others gambling; and in the roads on either sides of the way scenes of the most revolting nature are taking place in open daylight.

“A labouring man, some two or three months since, took a small cottage and large garden in the Anerly road, and opened it as a beer-house and tea-gardens, and he now has from four to five hundred persons in his ground on the Sabbath day. Many more particulars of a like kind might be added, but with great difficulty, owing to the secrecy observed by all parties.”
