To the Editor of the 'Evening Mail.' Sir,— l do not like at any time to make a complaint against public servants, but I feel it my duty to do so to-day. This morning at 9.10, five cabs were on the stand opposite the Masonic Hall when I calied and asked one to go to my house for a young lady who was going by the half past nine train. Each and all of the drivers positively refused, saying there would be no time. I said they could drive on to the Bishopdale Station aud so secure additional time, but to no purpose. One of the drivers wanted to know my name. He will find it below. Three of the cabs had the proprietors' names upon them, the other two had neither name nor number, which I think ought not to be. Those named were as follows:— Thomas, Lockyer, and Bradcock, and 'for the information of Jarvie, who thought more of his pipe than his work, I append my name iu full. I am, &c, Thos. Scott. Nelson, Jan. 21, 1877.
