Sir George Dibbs and Sunday Laws

The Review of Reviews for August has a character sketch of Sir George Dibbs, premier of New South Wales, Australia, by Mr. J. Tighe Ryan. Sir George, by the way, appears to be quite a mechanic. Says Mr. Ryan, in speaking of a visit to his premises:

"On the way to the outhouses I examined a brick kitchen, which the premier erected last year. 'I worked on it on Saturdays,' he explained, adding in an undertone, 'and occasionally on Sundays too.'"

Might it not be well for some of the Sunday-law people of New South Wales to try the laws of Charles II. on Sir George Dibbs before persecuting men who observe the Sabbath according to the commandment?
