THE BOROUGH POUND. TO THE EDITOR OK THE STAR. Sir, — In yesterday's paper I notice the "attention of the Borough Council is called to the Building Bye-laws and the water supply, which seems to be quite needful as fire is becoming very common. Now, sir, if as much care was taken to provide against fire as there is in the way of rangers (by day and night) we should not lose much in that respect (fire;). They have got to such a pitch that people who own a horse or cow ought to sit on the fence at night, fearing their cattle might get out, and that means the Pound. Grass has been very dry lately, and, as past years will show, only needs a spark to set it on fire and thus endanger fences, paddocks, etc. Yet the law forbids it being eaten off the roadside. Now, I ask, if a risk is run by allowing the grass to remain, is I it within reason to pound animals which ' by accident get out, especially outside town ? I am, etc., Happy Medium. Feilding, February 4th, 1695.
