THE rasrric OP THE CITY.
A report was brought up from the Goiters' Purpose
Committee having reference to the crowded state of
streets in the neighbourhood of the Mensioahoues and the
Royal Exchange, in which they expressed as opiates that •
great mole of the obstruction that mimed was the practise
adopted by the cabana of drivuig toned and tuned, and
plying for hint in that neighbourhood. They
fore suggested that the beet way to remedy
this slats of thinp was that the magistrates,
instead of infliniag rottenly nominal petunias, as wee
getterelly dope at preeent, ahould inflict • fine of Is. ia the
lint hotels's' appeoss every cabman who was convicted of
loan* is the City, and that the fine should be doubled
may tame the offence was repeated, and that is all Geese
the oniviatioa should be eadorsed upon the lured the
offender.

alderman WILSON, is moving that the report be printed
and sent to away member of the court, said be amid not
deny that there were many difficulties connected with the
=SW bat the committee, after commoeicating with the
Comadmiessta of Polies and the Police Committee of the
Court of Commas Council upon the subject, were unani-
mously of opinion that a great deal of the obstruction to the
traffic in the crowded thoroughfares adjoining the Mansion-
house and the Royal Exchange wu occasioned by the cabs
that were driven round and round the different streets in
that locality plying for fares, and frequently completely
blocked up the thoroughfares. It was very essential that
nothing should be left undone to remedy the inconvenience
that at preempt existed, and he believed that if the sugges-
tion of the committee was carried out it would have that
effect.

Attar a short discussion the motion was weed to, and
the court adjourned.
