further ano very obvious suggestion 15 1 5 that the constables should be provided with india rubber or list cover engfor their boots so that their tread may not be so distinctly heard and at so great a distance as at present and a third which I 1 Is well worth bearing in mind Is that a system of patrol by police darlng the dead of the night should be introduced these are only a few of the more prominent an d practical suggestions which have emanated from the pubic and which sir charia warren has had under his consideration but they may be taken a 9 examples of the good that may he derived
