MI Loan—The sweat on 'hewn by. your Lord.

'peace mud comfort of the City over which 'you so
ably preside,' induces ine to call your Lordship's
atteation to the nightly quarrels and Timm bailees
which take place in the streets of the Ciiy, be-
tween the unhappy women sotto are then the prii,
cipal pameugets, .and those_ persons with whom
they happen to have any real or imaginary cause of
Offence. Of these noises and outcries. perhaps
Crone who do not sleep in the City can hate aotade-

should be dour to remedy en evil of en di-graceful
a kite'. I have now for some time attended to
the continetscentent and course of these distressing

tumult is the scream of some women comp! • • g

without the fear of contradict ont—lt us, that
throtighout the whole of these s!aneful tumults,
no attempt whatever at interference is made by the

the pa, t of slien lers, that iit:ites of this description
woold not be tolerated at surto a time. My Lord,
I am well steam that persons who ca., retire to their
couutry-houses, or who Jo ii••t happon to live in
the more public streets of the inttropoliss may

some may smagincit. and I look with coofidence to
your Lorslshiplor redress. I am engaged, as well
