To The Editor Of The Time...
Sir,Some attention, at length, ifi being paid to the stappages in the high streets, occasioned by stages, &c., congregating together, to the deep injury of the locally situated tradeaman, and ts the immi- nent danger of the passers bv. in order to rermove the various incorn. veniences arising from the practice. But there is a great nuisance somewhat of this kind in Lower Thamesdstreet daily, witch appears to escape notice; and through the medium of yduir justw y popuaer journal I beg tO call that of the proper authority to remedy it. Town-carts, for hire, are drawn up in a line, frequently reaching from Fish-street-hill to Billingsgate; tlius uselessly occu,ying one side of the most busy part of that narrow street, vihere twvo carts can scarcely pass abreast. The confusion and stop- pages in consequence are frequent; and it is surprising that serious accidents to the foot-passengers are not more cunstat. One gentlemar., on his way tO the Custom-house the ether dav, narrovlv escaped being crushed against the wvall 'by a cart driv en upon the pavemrlent, in consequence of such car:s being in thc way. In fadct, no person going into Lswer Thames-street but ire in like danger from this cause. Tower-hill is not more than a ouarter of a mile from the spot, where they might st2y, lithotet nconve- nience to themselves or to any one else. There is so much tra?c to and from the Custom-house, Billingsgate, &c. that it is obriously proper to remove all unnecessary impediments to a free way. I am. Sir. vou:r- T. Al. R. London, Oct. 13.
