OFFENDING DEFENDERS.
To the Editor. Sir, —Allow me a space in your columns to call attention to a practice not only mischievous, but very dangerous. Yesterday forenoon, about 11 o’clock, the Cadet Company returning from the Pelichet Bay Baths, one of them discharged his rifle at a seagull, the bullet falling within a few yards of where I was working. It is not the first time nor fifth time that such has occurred. I will not here call in question the wisdom or otherwise of placing deadly weapons into the hands of mere boys, but I am certain that accidents arc sure to occur if more care and caution are not exercised by those having the charge of their. By inserting the above you will oblige, Yours truly, Henry Berwick, Dairy Farm, Loga i’s Foint, Belichet Bay.
