ing crowds OF loalers passing IN and ont
exhibiting great obscenity would 1t not serious
offence against decencyr We had no necessity for
such nuisance before these late expensive trans
formations were made, and, indeed, now, II deemed
necessary, why not place them IN the interior.
where less offence would be given The residents

offensive nuisance as the one here complained OF.
