THE COUNCIL'S POST TRAP.
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE PltES>\" ; » Sir, —It is no joko, as I found to my cost—ss, ctc. 1 have heard sonic folks , say that they will go for the Council '■ if they bark their shins or break their noses; and if they break their necks their ghosts will haunt those respon- 1 sible, so my advice to the unwary is: : Beware! 1 pleaded that my summons i _ was made out caro of a non-existent. firm in a non-existent street, and was ; mixed un with another man's summons i liko an Irish stew, also that I was mak- < ins; a beelinc to pay my rates, but T i' failed to touch" the adamantine solar plexus of tho Magistrate, though I r ' think I tickled his liumour, because ho j! ; pronounced my sentence with a smile, t * remarking that cutting corners is j.,1 often productive of accidents. Verily tho way of the transgressor is hard. — u j Yours, etc., i I PETER TROLOVK. j \
