The Resident Magistrate's Department ought to be stationed at Greytown also, instead of Featherston, which is one extreme end of the District; under the present arrangement great public inconvenience and complaints arise in, having the R. M. stationed at Featherston. The Government should enquire more into what the requirements of a district are before adopting recommendations of their officers, J.P.’s or M.P.’s., who may be actuated by pri vate motives, instead of an interest in the pub lic welfare generally. Your’s truly, A SETTLER, FURIOUS RIDING. (To the Editor of the Waibabapa Meßcuet.) Greytown, July 30,1867. Sib, — Being a stranger here, I was surprised on coming out of the Greytown Wesleyan Chapel on Sunday evening last to find horse men in full gallop along the public thorough fare, knocking down everybody and every thing in their mad career. The main-road is so narrow, with deep ditches on both sides that it is almost impossible to get cut of the way. This ought to be put a stop to, and I trust that you will direct public attention to it, and especially that of the district con stables. Tour’s &c., A Stranger. [Constable Butler, happening to be one of those “everybody and every things” on the occasion referred to, stopt the parties in ques tion, and will no doubt give his unvarnished tale before Mr Wardell, who it is trusted will give them a “ small caution ” as a warning to others.—Ed.
