A PUBLIC ANNOYANCE.
TO THE EDITOB OF THE EVENING POBT. Sib— You will be conferring a boon on those of your readers who deem it a privilege to take a stroll " around the rooks " by calling the attention of the police authorities to the advisability of sending a constable in plain clothes on a promiscuous walk, say, as far as Oriental Bay, on any evening just after dusk. Variona collections of boys — the majority of whom appear to be old enough to know better — congregate along the seashore and make use of expressions of a most filthy description, which any person passing along the road cannot but hear. Some of the culprits are endowed with voices "so powerful and strong" that the oaths, on a quiet, fitill night, travel a great distance both along the road and across the harbour. The innocent amusement of throwing dirt and " buzzies " at the passers-by is also indulged im by these larrikins to a great extent, and I think I am not alone in saying that if a few of them were brought up before Mr. Hardoastle and aemteneed to receive a wlupping it would have a very beneficial eff«ct. I am, Ac., ■ Sxa Brijus.
