meant the notice posted in the village under the authority
of Mr. Allen, superintendent of police, authorizing the
inhabitants to remove middins and other nuisances during
the day, and that without consulting the local board. A
communication had been made to the superintendent on
the subject, and that gentleman had written a letter to
the board stating that tho notice in Question was msmint to
apply to the rural districts, and was not intended to inter-
fere with Wavertree. Its being posted there was a mere
accident. and should not be repeated. He also expressed
his regret that the notice should, even accidentally, have
been posted in Wavertree.
