The supporters of the proposal hold that a proportion of the breaches of she particular by-law—against cycling on the footpaths—are not committed by habitual offenders, scorchers, and persons of that stamp, but by respectable and law-abiding citizens, under special circumstances; and ifc was considered that a, summons to the Court, the only present penalty, was somewhat rongb on them. By giving them the option of paying a fine to the Council within a given date, a public prosecution could be avoided, although the penalty would still be enforced. On the other hand it is contended by the Mayor and other members of the Council, that this method of dealing with an oflence against the by-law is condoning it, or aa the Mayor put it, " winking at it," and directly enooaraging people to set the law at defiance. It is not our purposeto enter into the ethics of this question just now, although it is certainly one of some interest to the people of this town.
