WATERMEN.—The LORD MAYOR and Court of
Aldermen, it is said, are at present employed upon
the arrangement of a plan for putting a stop to the
rapacity, extortion and insolence of the WATER-
who daily increase in their exalions and au-
dacity. Such a plan ought to have been brought
-forward many years ago, and it is to be hoped that
the Magistrates who are now preparing it, will. by
their svidorn compensate for their delay.
