Sir, - Aine Ni Chonaill (Letters, December 28th) is absolutely right, and I stand corrected for my slip of the pen (December 20th) in writing "Litter Act" for "Litter Bill", and I am in total agreement with her re Civil Rights and the amendment of Section 21 of this Bill.

Such a waste of paper, and of - perhaps - Uncle Ben's largesse! - Yours, etc.,
