works of his day that were not reported to anyone in acton it is now illegal to sell or discharge fire vcrks within the corporation boundaries the result has been that there has been a gradual dying out of the custom and now very few are guilty of disobeying the law fireworks in the hands of children are a dangerous amusement and the action of the council years ago in illcgnlizing them was a
