TYBURN BURYING GROUND. LTO THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR. " ]
Sin,—In your number for August 1st you make the suggestion that " the new burying-ground in Tyburn," where is a memorial to Laurence Sterne, should be thrown open to the public. I have not been able to see last week's Spectator, so I do not know whether any one has told you that what you suggest had been already done. The Rev. Cecil Moore some time back prevailed upon the authorities of St. George's to consent under certain conditions. Spaces of this sort, even when hard by a public park, are of great service to the people, because children can be safely left in them while busy mothers make household arrange. meats, and only require to be fetched away later in the day.
Mr. Moore's death has occurred within the past week, but I trust that he leaves an example which will be widely acted upon.
