WANTED, A LOCK-UP FOR THE SPIT.
[To tlio Editor of ,tlio Ilawko’a Bay Times/] Sm, —I see by the last number of your useful paper that the Provincial Council is going to meet on Tuesday, the 19th inst. I trust that, ere the session draws to a close, some member, imbued with the spirit of philanthropy, will move that a sum be placed on the estimates for the purpose of erecting a lock-up on the Eastern Spit. It is a bad sign that such au edifice is required, yet who can say that it is not necessary ? No one—or at any rate none who live in the immediate vicinity of the far-famed “ Iron Pot.” The Eastern Spit is but a small spot, yet there are two public-houses within fifty yards of each other. Were they shut up, perhaps there would be no occasion for a lock-up.—l am, &c.. Truth. Eastern Spit, 9th June, 1836.
