FIRING AT THE NORTH HEAD.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Last Wednesday the public money was wasted, and the neighbourhood disturbed, by the senseless firing from the North senseless because it neither is, nor can be, of the slightest practical use. The Government thought fit to send to England for some one to look after the volunteers, and the new inspector must, no doubt, do something. But it is too bad that this should be at the further expense of the taxpayers, and to the injury of an unoffending community. It is especially unfair to women who, without any voice in the matter, are taxed to pay for all this upstir, and in some cases, it may be, for their own destruction, for in certain circumstances these loud and repeated shocks would be dangerous, and might be fatal.—l am, etc., Mary Steadman Aldis. August 27,1892.
