THE STAVELEY LARRIKIN QUESTION.

SO THE XSItOBi Sib,—Will yon kindly slloi* me a small epsme in your paper to answer the larrikins »nd hoodlums of Staveley, in your Saturday's tome. Ib has taken the inhabitants of the dietrfob by surprise to £nd, all at once, that they have such bad oh&raolers io the place. It has been known for a long time that there were two or three that have been a great Btiiaaooe to tba place through their inter ference with everybody that they dared, but they are not of the age you would expect to find hoodlums and larrikins; they are old enough—if age brings sense—to know better. ITbe suggestion that a plain clothe* policeman •tumid visit hi, is what most residents think U wan tied, if they oatne on their own, and Bob come only when gent for. They may then Sod oab where the boys get the 'coQgti mtxttira* then makes them & bit lively %t times, and will know who to lo k ftlffcof when they are up here. Thanking you fa Rntlolpatfon,—l am, elc, Gooseberry Wine. Stanley, Slab July, 1901.
