The Union was formed by Mrs. Leavett on the 16th June, 1885.
The members distributed temperance literature at the Agricultural Show. The ships in port have been visited, and leaflets distributed among the seamen; and house-to-house visiting is being carried on.
Signatures have been obtained to the petitions against the employment of barmaids, and supplying liquor to children under sixteen years.
There are twenty-two working members.
