PtIgARD Diukaras.—Yestirday, Mr. Stettin, the Letterpolice..
*gime, appeared before the Loan Mayon, and complained of one
Y., Soo Ihrpectors of the Day-petrol, having improperly seized a
belonging to Dint, and taken It to the Green-yard.
Mr. Martin statede that one of his men was carrying a placard
&legit die streets, on the cartlap-way, as he was entitled to do,
%Oben the Inspector came up, took his placard from him, and lodged
if in the Green-yard.
The Chief Clerk then read the clause of the New City Street
Act, and observed, there was not the least doubt that the framers
intended it to remove such things out of the streets entirely.
The Lana Maros said, he had received many letters from trades-
men, who were shopkeepers, complaining of these placards and their
'bearers as nuisances. His Lordship was himself of opinion that in
envied streets these placards were great nuisances. He declined,
however, giving any opinion whether the men were entitled to
tarry placards through the tweets • but as the present Was a new
ease against Mr. Martin, Ms Lordship allowed, him to have his.
placard-board given back spin.
Mr. Martin declared that in future his men should walk through
the meets with the placards. He gave this as a notice, being de- II
tumbled to try ase question, if the Inspector interrupted them. il
