At the foot of Peel-street, where it joins Read’s Quay, there is a dangerous hole which will, in all probability, some dark night, occasion an accident, and the ratepayers will then be called upon to “pay the piper.” There are two or three dangerous places on the bank of the Turanganui river which require looking. The Public Works Committee (which by the way consists of the whole Council) should keep a sharp look out, or otherwise their laches will be severely commented on by the burgessers. Look on this picture : The New Zealand Times of the 20th inst., says :—“ Henry Trueman, a young lad, charged with stealing sixpence worth of apples from a garden, the fence of which was broken, was ordered to be locked up until the pleasure of the Court. One hour afterwards the youngster was released.” It is not long since we had to report the case of a lad charged with purloining two pennyworth of fruit, being ordered to pay a fine of £lO and costs, or in default to be imprisoned for a month.
