Furious Driving.—The following correspondence is ordered to be published Mohawk Lodge, Shanghai, 4th July, 1892. Council m: bp Shey Eat the canes against my Sim,—I beg that you will lay before the
a acti me in mate pee meal pat British Court.
My reasons are these. Yow have virtually brought an action against a foreigner under the jurisdiction of the Mixed Court. You have brought this action on the bare statement of it must be patent to anyone, that this policeman's statement was untrue, og I have never ped on the Bund to my knowledge, and am. not at all likely to doo, "But in reph to Mr. Brown he said*"Galloping, sir, on bot occasions." You place foreigners under the' control of any policeman, no matter whether he has experience or not. And that is poor} policy.
If you will allow me, I would suggest that all driving mafoos (public or' private) licenced. "At present it is hard on the good drivers, when the really dangerous ones are the bad and slow, under their best driver, which is undoubtedly I would also that the. police,
