TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-The assistance which your excellent paper afferds on ery occasion to prevent the public from being plundered, will, .t am con_ vinced, procure the insertion of the following statement.- saving occasion to go to Turaham-green, in a hackney-coacb, last week, on paying the toll at Hyde-parkcorner gate to Levy, the collector, my sister who was witlh iue asked-bim for a ticket, on which he men. tioneudsomelettertothe coachman,badhim driveon,andretiredhastily into.the toll-houst. On my etting to the Kensington.gatee (the gate near Lord Holland's, au, the ptk which the Hyde-park gate deara,l the toll was again demanded. On mry teDing the man that the totl bad becn paid to Levy, who, though asked for, had walked away owithst giving the ticket, and that if it was in. sisted on, I -would pro&eed against Levy, I. was let through. The rcawon for Levy having walked of without giving the- ticket was tlus rendered apparent. On my going again to Turn. ham-green this week, on paying the toll to Sheldrick, another collector at Hyde-pqrk-correr, he was retiring 'into the' toW. house as rapidly as his brother Levy, but on my calling hinm back he with semingreluctance gaveaietheticketfortbe day. Ongit. ting to Kensinaton gate, the toll was again demanded, and the mai, unsatisfied with the dav.letter, said he-rmust see the day.ticket, but w.hen it was produced, his countenance expressed much morc auy. prise than delight; as, -no doubt, he did not expect that his &rethren it Ifyde.park-corner-gate had furnished me with any.
