THE STREET CORNER BY-LAW.
«v zxs xnxaa or »hs nw. Sib,—lt appearsto mc that a great hardship ia beiog entailed upon those unfortunate members of the Police Force trbo are told off day altejf'Say to stand as the prohibited corners, of the streets and see that the cabs, carriages* *c, do dot exceed a walking pace. What a tiresome time those poor gentlemen in blae mast have to be sure. They cannot " move on " as they are accustomed to, they cannot chat with their sweethearts, poor little dears, and verily, the street cor»«r bobby's lot is not a happy* one. lam of opinion that the City Council should provide these unfortunate myrmidons of the law with chairs at the street corners tin question, and no donbf) mtj would do their duty, equally well, aa&* with greater ease to th#mselvee. -1 recommend my Idea to the powers that be, and perhaps your Mr Searchlights may see his way to eSmment on it in nil nsnal pungtnt style. —Yours, Ac,,
