A POLICE VAN WANTED.
To the Editor.
—lt is a strange thing, in this socalled civilised community, that we hj ive no covered conveyance for the few inebriates and others who are paraded through tho Arcade every morning, on their way to the Magistrate’s Court. J have wretchedlooking women, in wet and dirty weather, with hardly decent covering on, and nearly barefooted. I think, in the name of common decency, they should be hid from the admiring (?) gaze of the public. Why, Mr Editor, the stocks or pillory is a fool te it. The public go to see them in the stocks, but as it is, these offenders go to see the public. Hoping you will insert this, in the cause of humanity, I am, &c., T. L. B. Dunedin, July 1.
