SIGHTSEERS : THEIR RIGHTS AND DUTIES.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.1

SIR,—In answer to your article on the above in the Spectator of July 19th, may I suggest that notices like the following be placed in conspicuous parts, where the " tripper " is most likely to partake of refreshment ?—" The public are requested to deposit here all paper and empty bottles (not broken) which will be gratefully collected by the poor." I think that if the poor people in the neighbourhood were told that they could collect the paper and bottles they would gladly do so, and thus earn a few pence by selling the latter, and after reading

the former use it for their fires.—I am, Sir, &c., D. L.
