A correspondent of the Thames Advertiser appears very indignant because the police refused to accommodate him by accepting ten shillings' worth of coppers in lieu of gold or silver. He writes:—" To the Editor. — Sir — I went to the police station to-day to pay a fine of £1 and costs on behalf of James O'Connor. Not having sufficient money with me to pay the full amount, I borrowed 10s. It so happened that this 10s was all in coppers— penny pieces from the Mint of England. There was not a single token amongst them, but the watchhouse-keeper refused to receive them, and I had to procure silver instead. I wish to know, through your paper, whether he was justified in refusing coin of the realm when it was tendered to him."
