PALSKSTONIII.
A Noteasog—lt is certainly most nnfortausatit—et
any rata for the dwellers in Church-street—that the
frequent efforts which in time past have been made to
prevent a certain periodical annoyance have proved so
far unavailing. Whether it is perpetrated always by
the same partier, we do sot know; but we do know
from past experience its very serious nature. The
cause of anooyanoe la the periodical carrying out and
depositing upon the footway or the edge of the road
a quantity of accumulated filth, sometimes of a most
offensive description. Manure of course must be
carted away from pigatyes and other =savoury
dePositoriea, but there can be no valid reseed for
Its being for a single moment deposited upon the path
or the road. The bye.laws of the borough expressly
forbid this practic.. How it is that, notwithstanding
repeated complainta to the authorities, this nuisance is
permitted by the police, we cannot pretend to say. It
IS surely not • matter wh ch need be taken up before
the magistrates. Theref re we content ourselves for
the present with making in appeal to those who —we
hope thoughtlessly—cause this annoyance to their
neighbours. And we do Chink that the vigilance
of the police ought to prevent such infringement—
flagrant a. well as distressingly (repress— f the
borough regulations on theft matters. —Pam/. Maps-
