LOOSE HORSES.
'{To tie Editor of the Westport Times.) g lß) —Have the police no power to put a stop to the practice of allowing horses to wander at large during the night through the streets. On a dark night, away from the lamps, it it impossible to see them, and your first notice of their presence is when you come full up against them, and may be kicked or trodden before you can get away. Not satisfied with walking or standing on footpaths, several make their beds on them, under the lee of houses that shelter them from the "wind, and the danger is then increased tenfold, as the unhappy biped falls 'over the awakened and alarmed quad-
ruped, the two may be struggling on the ground together, and if anybody gets hurt it is not the horses. Really, Sir, I hope you will insert this in order to draw the attention of the police to what in all seriousness is a most dangerous practice. I am, &c, A Victim - .
