W J Wilshire, Royal Hotel Company Sydney. With reference to the Town Clerk's letter of the 21st ultimo, he asks in what way does the Inspector wish that the servants of the hotel should assist him in his endeavours to prosecute the offenders. The nuisance from the cab drivers has greatly abated but there is still a problem. In another letter dated 5 October he writes that three of the cabmen "were sitting at the base of the pillars immediately to the entrance to the hotel, smoking & spitting thereby inconveniencing & behaving offensively to visitors to the hotel". On these letters there are notes by Edward Oram, Inspector of Public Vehicles, who writes that it would be sufficient if the servants of the hotel would take the names or numbers of offenders, and give evidence at the Police Office when noticed to do so. He also wrote that "Assistant Inspector Harricks made enquiries at the hotel regarding the vehicles complained of and was satisfied that all were engaged by visitors therein".LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
