STONE THROWING.
To the Editor. j Sir,—l have read on several occasions lately complaints of boys throwing stones in the streetß. I regret I have occasion to bring the matter again bef< re you. A few days ago my youngest boy was struck with a stone thrown at him deliberately by another boy. He wa3 struck and cut a little under the eye and on the note, and for two days he could not properly open that eye. On the evening of Saturday last, and before his former wound was healed, he was struck on the temple with a stone by a second boy. On each occasion the profuse bleeding prevented the swelling ana disfiguring he would otherwise have had. I think it a great hardship that my boys (who, I may say, are well behaved) should have to undergo such treatment from young ruffians, and I would caution their parents that if any such mishap befalls either of my children I will sue the parents for damages. The parents of the last named boy are known to me.— l am, &c, A. W. Campbell. Dtmedin, September 25.
