UNEMPLOYED DEMONSTRATION.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —You are to be congratulated on having such an able correspondent as Mr Charles 15. Hilton, who indicates the lino 6f conduct to bo adopted by the authorities to handle the hungry unemployed. All that is necessary is tor our chief of police to mount a “white charger,” read the Riot Act, and then dash at the hungry ones, who promptly disappear, never to be seen or hoard of again. As there might be some difficulty in securing the necessary “white charger,” the authorities might be able to hire the celebrated steed of a certain enterprising emporium in George street, which would doubtless produce the same happy result; but it is significant that the action of a person in a motor lorry who took the line of action" advocated by Mr, Hilton proved disastrous to himself and his vehicle, and certainly did not meet with the approval of the police or the magistrate. For my own part 1 am satisfied with the loss spectacular but more tactful method adopted V Superintendent Ecclcs,. and advise Mr Hilton to leave his “white horse” in the bottle.—l am, etc., Oui Worthy. January 21.
