RASCALITY ON THE ANDERSON’S BAY ROAD.

-k! • • >- - To the Editor. My attention was drawn to a local ' a night or two ago reporting insulting behaviour to two ladies on the Anderson’s Bay road by a scoundrel, as yet,‘ I believe, unknown to the police. It also that such conduct was now of frequent Sir, as a resident of South Dunedin, and one whose way to and from the City is by the Anderson’s Bay road, I Can bear/witness to the trathfulness of your "'comments. 1 have myself of late prevented insult'to feniales on this road. String© tofelato, while I am penning this ' a; neighbor has just dropped into my house who informs me that some fellow went to a house a few minutes ago, rapped at the door, demanded admittance, and when refused by fitke&aji within, her husband being out, he replied that he would come in. The good Womah ran to back door and screamed out, when th 6 ruffian took to his heels. Not only do females receive insulting at- ! tention at night on this road, but gentlemen' atoy sometimes,anything but politely treated. Only a week of two ago a fnend or mine returning to the City about 10 o’clock, the night being-very dark, he. brushed against some one apparently coming from the other direction* My friend at once begged this individual’s pardon, and the first intimation he had of theintared traveller’s forgiveness ; was a blow which bent him. Sprawling on the '•road/ This totfk place cloSa tb the railway Many sttch cases as these which I have mentioned have taken placfe and are Be- ! .Coining On. this road, as your loeaj observes, of frequent Occurrence, and aS often have 1 they beCn reported in the papers, and still in ‘ the face of: these reports the authorities have . dOpeaext to nothing to prevent their recur- ‘ roictu When ; w© consider that there are only in the entire district, , from that source must be limited. ] Sif,‘ 2 ijho authorities do pot wapt to be \ responsible for crimes and for accidents of a wriOUS Tiattiro let them provide on this road ■ a few gas'lamps from the Southern Hotel to tke Gaa Works, and supplement the present 1 dtaffiof am, &c., ? * - ’• Bcfora Dtisjator. “
