FERRY MANAGEMENT.
To the Editor of the Cromwell \rgus. Sir, —In a report of a lute inquest held at Clyde you insert the jury’s rider: •‘Owners of pints exhibited great carelessness, &c., &c.” In my own justification I must ask you to insert the following. I keep a properly qualified man to work the Ferry, have a small boat always in a serviceable condition, and in case of such like accidents occurring would not keep a man an hour who would not use the same in endeavouring to save any one petting into the river. I use rails, and alwa\s have grappling irons at hand ; and 1 can assure you, sir, that I take every precaution to prevent accilen's of this nature, and would use j every effort to save life in case of such. —I am, Ltc., James Stuart. Proprietor Bannockburn Punt.
