SHUTTER BLIND.
(To the Editor of the BTening Star.)
Sib,—ln this morning's issue of the Advertiser there appeared a local referring to the danger of pedestrians from shutters. I wish to state that the remarks were untrue. The shop in question is a corner one; the shutters when up come to a sharp point; there is a join or hinge on the bar which turns the corner. On the night in question, which was not last night, all the shutters were up; I had fastened the end of the swing bar in Mary street, and was turning the other part to Pollen street, when three or four of the staff of y< ur contemporary, who seemed in far the greatest hurry to get home. I spoke for them to look out; all stepped aside but one—who had evidently left bis well-worn spectacles at the office. Therefore it was a bar (which was more than half around) not a shutter with which the unfortunate pedestrian spoilt his Sunday hat, and not at all the fault of The Youth.
