However, we, as well as our contemporaries, overlooked the fact that the principal portion of the work in clearing out, the hawkers, and other so-called infringements of the police and sanitary regulations, had been done by the nuisance inspectors--so that the cases brought before the magistrates during the period above named did actu- ally amount to close upon 300, the number stated in our article of May 23rd.

Governor Bowen is, according to our lights, to be highly commended for the very sensible measures he took to remedy what had unquestionably been made a public grievance, and an injustice which, notwithstanding the sneers of dauntless heroes of the "Cuttle" class, was within an ace of leading to what must have proved
