RAILROAD AND SUDDEN DEATH BY THE
RIVER THAMES.
UNDER sinister views of private toll-interest
the present Government, as the Police Corporation of
London has sanctioned ("under the nose ") Lord Boston and
others by a seeming UMPIRAGE—to drive in STAKES
(a la coffer-dam) right across the river Thames, at the serpen-
tine bend of the river above and below Caversham Park, near
Reading, in order to shut up the tidal course of the natural
channel—to favour, by truckling to BOSTON and the Clergy-
Magistrates of Berkshire, the private canal-scheme "cut off"
at this point—not forgetting railroad traffic, versus " free
navigation of the River." Hence ! The dam'ing up of old
Father Thames, as contrary to the laws of God's landmarks,
has occasioned misery and death by a dreadful inundation—to
all places seaward, e'en to Gravesend. If the STAKES are
not removed instanter, the STAKE must be the punishmen
for such blind treachery.
