Ws wish to diem the attention of our readers to
the cams against several tradesmen of the town for
leaving oat goods in front of their houses, which were
tried before the borough magistrates at the petty
se-aions on Tuesday on the prosecution of the Local
Board. The matte; aerioully tioncerns the different
tradesmen in the town, ao it was seated by the magi*.
trams that goods which were received by tradesmen

were taken in, and they ermaidered two or three boars

an.beer or so. It ii undoubtedly the fact that goods
have often been left out much lacier than is nmeseary,
and we have heat d of bulky gooda received by drapers
In the town being put out day after day before being
unpacked, hut to insist on all goods being removed
Indoors within belf-an-hour or an hoar of their arrival,
we remit is simply impossible, or at say nits would be
emended with very great and unnecessary inoinveatenes
to tradesmen. It certainly is undesirable that Kends

time when they will delivered, as soinetinies
that is done in the middle of the day and at other
times not till form or live o'clock or later. Again, with
regard to empty boxes to be . token away by the
minims, it is quite uneertain what time they
will fetch them; we have been told of Instance.
where a week ban elapsed before they have been
taken away, though the carriers have berm caked to
awry them of, and, though those may be extreme owe,
it is quite impornble to tell when they will take Meru,
and if gestural boxes have to be returned it would be
very Inconvenient to have to keep them indoors till they
sailed, and then to have to bring them out in a hurry,
with perhaps no one at hand at that moment to Ming
them out to the carriers. We mast also obeerne
that if thir stringent rule is to he applied to
the tradesmen, mere ante sod others oseaok
be allowed to occupy the pavement with waggons to
take away their goods to the Moinvenienee of those
passing by who. in malty instances, have been obliged to
11•••ve the pavement and go out Into the road in Dame-
quenee, or at any rate go to the edge of the pavetuent.
If the rule is to he strictly enforced, it grin
be only fair to do so with merchante and.
others, as well as tradesmen. We meta these
remarks with no invidious feelings, and Mist,
with the nregietretes it is quite segewary that the
ardent of leaving et goods on the pavement should be
checked, which in our owe opinion he. mooted too greet
a height in the town, particularly the diselay of goods
on the pavement on mmkettdays, but we consider a little
more time should be left to persons le aspect their goods,
sod that at all emote those regulations if they are lob
carried mil should apply to all persons obstrueting the
pavement in the town.
