THE CARRIAGE OF PRISONERS FROM THE POLICE COURT To THE GAOL.

To the Editor of the Star

Sir, —On Wednesday, when passing the Police Court, I observed a carriage and pair waiting at the entrance, and, on staying for a few moments, I saw five miserable-looking objects get into it. On enquiry, I found that they had been convicted that morning of drunkenness and vagrancy. I am certain, Mr Editor, you will ajiree with me in saying that it is a great shame to drive pri soners from the Police Court to the saol in one of the cabs from the stand, which said cabs are made use of by the most respectable portion of our citizens. People that are con tinually brio." found in gutters, and who are changed with vagrancy and drunkenness, cannot possibly be of a clean nature, and in fact filth of every kind is most certain to abound in them. There were three weddings yesterday. wonder if either party had the pleasure of.having the above-mentioned cab. I conclusion, I would most stiongly urge the advisability of a vehicle being specially set ■'part for the conveyance of these people.— laiDj efc , Obscrvilß P.S. — I took stock of tho driver, and shall always carefully avoid his vehicle when I want a cab. -[Our correspondent touches on a practice which may well cause alarm, and in the interests of cleanliness and decency should be put down That it exists, we are aware from our own observation.—En. E.S.]

THE ONEHUNGA SPRINGS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star,

Sib,, —rl do not wish to be trespassing on your valuable space, but, as the purity of our OnehuDga Springs is of so much importance to the iuhabitants, I trust you will allow me a few words with "Fairplay" and " W." -The Star bas assisted to purify many foun tains, and will, I have no doubt, assist us to keep the fountain from which our pure water gushes, untainted. " Fairplay " imputes many things to me and rather feebly attempts to deny my statement in reference to the proposed sale of the Springs reserve. I did not say in my letter that it was intended to sell where the springs are rising, but the groucd close by, which, is one and the sama water reserve as originally laid oufc, oyer thirty years ago by the Imperial Government on the formation of the township, and known ever sine<r as the Springs reserve. Will "'Fairpb} !I a.iy that there were not three acres so set apart as a water reserve, and that it is not two out of the three that it is now proposed to sell, leaving the third acre nlone for the present, which is nearly entirely covered with water,, and which can only be conveniently ap proached by crossing over tho other two. Were tbe two acres in question not known, and spoken of as the springs reserve, some years ago when a late Superintendent talked of selliug them when he was hard up for money, but he was deterred from doing so by the just protest of the people, who could noo see what ri^ht he had to divert the two acres from their original purpose, notwithstanding he was Superintendent, and the same people are still unable to see what right the School Board have to interfere with them. I have not the least objection to "Fairpiay" getting a free site on the green hill reserve, or any other reserve, so long as he lets the springs reserve alone. Why not sell the One Tree Hill reserve upon which Onehunga has been always making a claim. I c*n assure " Fair play" that Mr l-undon's character, whether public or private, is too well known and respected for honesty of purpose by those who are acquainted with him to need being enlogised by persons of hi 3 stamp. " Fair play V other incorrect ttrictures on my letter I pass over as not being worth noticing and leave the public to judge. I should like to know if they h*d such springs in Auckland, would the surrounding ground be sold from the reserve up to tbe very welters edge, and thus give a chance of the water being pointed by noxiou3 trades being coruuisnced clcee by, and the water used in them ?—Yours, &c, PuftE Water.
