CHAIRS IN THE PARK.

To THE EDITOR OF A MORNING PAPER.
814,--Hearing that a consideration was demanded for
the use of the chairs placed within the iron rails in St.
da
Jatnea's Park, by order of his Majesty, for the accommo-
tion of the public, I determined to ascertain the fact, and
Was much surprised to find the statement correct, for, on
ing a chair under the trees at the entrance near the
41nces a lad, apparently about 14 years of age, demanded,
an authoritative tone, one penny of me, and of several
• Gentlemen and ladies who were seated in the chin, as the
fee for the use of them.
At such a demand I was extremely indignant, and deter-
inined to resist, not fur the sake of saving is penny, had it
hall), been an authorised demand, but to convince the in-
dividuals present, that no such tribute was required.
I questioned the boy as to hiseniployers, when he stated
that two French gentlemen had permission from the King
to Place the chairs in the Park fur the use of the public,
°Pan the payment of the afore-mentioned sum by each
IWnina occupying a chair, and that he was employed by
• their deputy.
, The Story appearing to be " extremely far-fetched," I
leafed the lad to find the collector of the pennies, as
ao rmed hill master, but, after many endeavours, he was
where to be found—and, further, he was not acquaint-
, liaew,vihtholtehwai a
the names of any of the parties. I felt conscious
the ag
e gross imposition—the boy merely being
ent of the constables and park-keepers (for one of
t
the
atwho was close by appeared to pay particular attention
to
wh I
Pay far th .;
—d)--and cautioned every person present not
kaing, but to occupy the chairs at pleasure, well
°wing that the üblic account has been charged with
-the cost of them. p g
I trust this will meet the eye of the Lord Ranger of the
Park' his Deputy, or the Commissioners of Woods and
t°rests* for. I am fully sensible that no such permission has
given as that mentioned by the lad, and the public
• Will act wisely in refusing payment of such a flagrant ex-
actin
e; N not on the score of saving a penny, but on
am, Sir, your obedient servant, N. S.
We hope that this scandalous imposition will be re-
:s" ted on the part of the public ; we also hope that the
PrVer authorities will put a stop to this pick-pocket
