Hackney-Coaches.
TO TIIE E'DITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-As onc *rho, from experience, is convincedl that some alteration in the present system of regulating hack- ney-coach fares is necessary, in order to preven.t not only the imposition, but the insu.t to which all persons, and particularly ladies, are constantly exposed, I read with much pleasure a letter in your paper of this morning sug- gesting a remedy. Any change nust be for ihe better; but a much easier, and, in my opiRion, more efficacious one, struck me on throwing my eye over that letter; and that is, that either on the exterior or interior of the door of every hackney-coach, there should be affixed a card stating the fares from the standl to all the public places and leading streets in the rnetropolis. It might be objected that this could be easily removed, but it might be so inserted in the panel as to make the removal difficult; or a small penalty would always make the coachmani take care that it is in its place, as lie has it in his power to see that it is there wlen the party is stepping out of the coach. 'fhe easy reference to this card would, I apprehend, be an effectual check upon the extortion of the coanliman. A CONSTANT READER. Oct. 7. HACKBVEY-COACHES.
