being also eossceded that more are prone to sin than to
piety, even then,.in proportionate ratio, it appears that
more will be enticed up from baser pleasures, than will
be ensnared down from recreations of superior virtue.
The neighbouring people complain of the disturbance;
then why, at the Chronicle justly asks, dill they go and
place themselves there? If they went into the vicinity
of public gardens, in the expectation of perfect nocturnal
tranquillity, their folly is rightly punished by the event.
We cannot altogether coincide, however, with a morn•
ing cotemporary, who, with one fell swoop, condemns
all interference whatever with public amusements on
the part of Magistrates : we look on them as custodes
mom*, and so does the Chronicle. Now, how guardians
9f the public morals ate to be justified in suffering any
amusement which is on the whole injurious to that
morality, we are at a loss to conceive. Vauxhall, we
admit, is on the other hand, in a general view, beneficial
to its interests; but sre rather think we could point net
Others of a real noxious tendency towards the welfairel
of morality, and which would furnish ground of very
justifiable interposition for uthets, besides the Surrey
Magistrat.s.. • •
