BOULDER ROLLING ON MOUNT EDEN.
TO THE EDITOK. Sir, —On Saturday afternoon last a little incident occurred on the slopes of Mount ' Eden that prompts my incursion on your. ' valuable space. Four youngsters, in - age varying from ten to fourteen years, loosened a good-sized boulder of 'scoria, and sent it hurling down , the side of the mountain, It landed fairly on the carriage drive, which luckily happened to be clear of traffic at the moment; thence, rebounding in its flight, . crossed a footpath with the happiest; results. Passing perilous!* near a cow, it continued its descent, straight for the roof-tree of orta of Auckland's legal luminaries. Ho is stilt alive, as I saw him on a tiamcar to-day; l .. '• but think what: might have ; happened?l - would venture to suggest to our city fathers that notices be fixed calling attention to th« fact that such an offence . may be punishable by strokes with a birch-rod. —I am,, etc., Fiat .Jtjstitia. Rtjat CtELUU.; Mount Eden, March 7, 1904.
