LAEEIKINISM IN WALTHAM.
TO THB EDITOE. Sib, —I should like, through the medium of your well-ciroiilated paper, to draw the attention of the police authorities to a band of larrikins who infest the district of Waltham. They generally meat about the Waltham school, and, not content with insulting any females who may pass them with jibes and filthy language, they go as far as to assault anyone who tries to remonstrate with them. This state of things has been going on for the last three or four months, and continues right through the football season. It was only last week that they assaulted a young fellow in the school grounds by throwing him down in the mud, kicking and punching him while down, and when he gob up seven or eight of them set upon him In the most cowardly fashion. What makes matters worse, when asked why they did it, they said the young fellow had no right in the school grounds, and that they only did it for a lark. Pretty fine way of larking I—l am., &c.. A WALTHAM RESIDENT.
