EXORBITANT LIVERY STABLE CHARGES.
(To the Editor). Sir,—lt is to be'sinoerely hoped that the present Liberal Government, which professes such solioitude for the "people," will introduce into the Licensing Aot, which shall also apply to livery stable keepers generally, a clause to the effect that every livery stablekeeper shall be compelled to give not less than 51bs of good oats (not promissory oats) along with first-class chaff free from dust and weeds. The present charge for horse feed, Is 6d for oaoh feed, and Is per night for paddooking, is most exorbitant; The outside cost of each feed would not exceed 6d, and no one objeots to pay Is, viz., 100 per cent., but when you are oharged 200 per cent, for very indifferent rood, even ••a doufcey" will kick against such imposition.—l am, e.tc, "BUCEPHALUS."
