FURIOUS DRIVING.
To the Editor of the Nelson Evening Mail. Sir—lf a policeman were to be sent occasionally to College Hill, he would find the offence of furious riding and driving of common occurrence. I have lately witnessed several narrow escapes, and I much fear loss of life will take place some day or other. If it should, no doubt a coroner's inquest would be held and the stereotyped verdict of " accidental death," returned. Would it not be a good thing if a policeman were sometimes sent here, in plain clothes. We .used to see one and he did good service in putting a stop to the depredations committed by roaming cows. I wish the Inspector would bear in mind what I say, and send a sharp fellow up here. He might be the means lof saving some, I won't say, valuable lives. I am, Sir, A Nervous Mas. January 10th, 1867.
