PUBLIC MARKET FOE HAMILTON.
Sir,—Fourteen years ago, we had a market in "West Hamilton, held on a piece of land set apart as a market reserve, near the present Borough Council Chambers. I would ask ypu to call the attention of the Borough Council to the inconvenienc now experienced by myself and other burgesses, as produce™, and by the general public of Hamilton as consumers, by this allotment not being used for the purpose for which it was granted. I have some goods to sell, and so have many others—potiltry, vegetables, butter, &c,—and here we might find a sale for them without hawking them about from house to house, which in many oases is an impossr ility. If this piece of ground were devoted to the purpose for which it was set apart, the Borough Council, I believe, would realise a decent rent from it in the shape of rent of stalls, &g., and those wanting to sell and those to buy would be brought face to face with one another.—l am, &., D. D. Hyde. Hamilton "West, Dec. o, 1878.
