STRAY CATTLE.
♦ (TO THE EDITOB OF THE TIMES.) Slß,— Can you explain why the police are so smart in picking up horses and cows belonging to Nos. 1, 2, and 3, while those owned by Nos. 4 5, and 6 are allowed to wander over the streets and through the gardens at their own sweet will p Has the nationality of the owners and of the guarrlians of the peace anything to do in the matter ? The east erd of Tay street is swarming with horses and cows daily, to the discomfort and terror of women and children, and occasionally looking into my garden (when the gate happens to be left open for a few minutes), to see how the vegetables are coming on. What ia the duty of the Town Council in this case ? Am I supposed to pay rates under such circumstances ? — Yours &c, Meum et Tuttm. [With regard to the nationality of the offenders who are fined, we refer our correspondent to the list in to-day's paper, which appears thoroughly cosmopolitan. We are of opinion that under any circumstances our corraspondent will j be expected to pay his rotes. — Ed. T.]
