NUISANCE IN THE NEW CUT.

T° THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
'14.--Secing a paragraph in your paper of this even-
ileaded " Sunday Trading," I am induced to call
totoe i attention (through the medium of your widely-cir-
=deq journal) of the parish authorities, as also of the
isPratnissioners of Police, to the disgraceful state of the
))`:‘ Cut on Sunday mornings, during the hours of
01:41e service. The open manner in which the clothes
84138 expose their goods for sale (far beyond Monmouth-
et), and and the assemblage of characters of the worst
liacription, tossing and uttering the most profane lan-
fie
perte eatly to the annoyance of the inhabitants, is, in
Luegrcome such an intolerable nuisance that no decent
Sons can pass or repass with propriety.
res urelY the heavy rates we pay entitle us to a little
Peet from the authorities.
