OMNIBUS AND CAB COMMUYICATION
IN TILE STREETS OF TILE CITY.

The following lettrr, upon the subjsct of the inconve-
nience arising from the alleged want of regulations with
respect to the omnibuses and cabs in the street,. of Lon-
don, hag been transmitted to the Police Committee. Mr.
Harvey has frequcntly made complaints upon the But,-
ject at the Manuion House :

"TO THE GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE OF ALDERMEN.
" City Police Office, Old Jewry, Feb. 2.
" Gentlemen,— The subject to which our attention is
called by the letter of Mr. Deputy Lott hasj frequently en-
gaged my own ; and though it is scarcely possible to sug-
gest a plan by which the inconveniences complained of can
be entirely suppressed, there are 'various modes by which
they might be materially mitigated.
"let. An order from the Commissioner, if it can be
legally enforced, by which omnibuses should be compelled
to take up and set down only ou the near side.
" 2d. That thelaw to enforce the regulations to be observed
by omnibuses and cab drivers should he more stringentlyen-
forced, by the infliction of higher penalties ; the leniency
which is shown in this respect rather encourages than
checks the evil. This is illustrated by the manner is which
984 summonses brought before the magistrates, from the
let of January to the Ist of December, 1855:have ben
disposed of ; 580 have been subjected to costs only ; 33 to
a fine of Is. ; 291, is. to ss. ; 35, bs. and not exceeding
10s. ; 5,20 s. and not less than 10s. Nor can this leniency
of punishment be attributed to the futility of the charges,
as only 11 have been dismissed and 29 ordered to be with-
drawn. I venture to suggest that, utter ample notice to
those whom it concerns, the full penalties should be im-
posed and enforced. At present the penalties are rather
ridiculed than heeded.
"3d. Much depends upon, and ought to be expected of,
the public. Every one complains of inconveniences, but
no one contributes to their suppression. Persons expect to
be taken up aid set down at exact places, never getting in
or out at approximate places, and rarely attempt to avoid
delay by having the fare in band; on the contrary they will
stand at the steps of the omnibus hunting for their purses,
and then requbing change.
"It would be attended with some inconvenience, but at
the same time greatly diminish the danger of frequent
stopping, to fix places at which alone passengers could be
taken up and pat down, especially in crowded streets.—l
have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient
servant, "D. W. HARVEY."
