BAD LANGUAGE IN THE STREETS.
, TO THB KDITOB. Ba,—Allow me to make a few remarks on the report of the Police Ctourt proceedings in your issue of Friday. I see the S.M. remarked on one of the cases of bad language as T8 j r i bad ' Now » Sir » !t "this filthy and blasphemous language that htlps to injure the home influence and teaching of we parents by contaminating our children. There are still some foul-mouthed individuals at large who require to be dealt with by the Court, and who insult respectable people because they think it won't be resented in the street. With all re ■pent to the pewen that be, I am of opinion that the clause in the Act whereby a magistrate can discriminate by fining instead of giving imprisonment for filthy language simply is intended to apply to first offenders only. —I >m, etc., Patkbfawuas.
