TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l do not wish to inflict on your readers such a lot of rot as my opponent “ One of the Tamaiti Shakers ” has done, aad, therefore, will leave him, and the man who knows all about the Big Drum affair to fight it nut themselves, as from my opponent’s last letter there seems to be some animus existing betwsen them. The public are net interested in a war fate of the kind, hut tli-y. would like to see » settlement of the Baud'»ffair one way or the other. There is no use in dilly-dally ing about it. Better hold a meeting and consider the affair at once, as you, Mr Editor, have pointed out. My opponent thinks I have some down on him. Far from it! Him and I almost rub noses with one another in our desire for a band iu Picton. With an apology for trespass ing so much on your space, Mr Editor, I remain etc., Evbk a Lover or Mobic. Picton, 28th Oct.
