Original Correspondence.

To the Editor of the Auckland Chronicle. r Sir,—ln your paper a few weeks since, appeared an extract from the Government Gazette, announcing the precise time at which certain Ordinances, passed during the la9t Session, were to come into operation ; among others was the " N uisance/' which was supposed to come into operation on the 17th of last month, (July) but to my astonishment, and I believe of the public generally, there are as many dngs about now as before the passing of the Bill; What is our Chief Police Magistrate about that he does not carry out the provisions of the Bill, by seeing 'that the Constables do their duly ? I hope, Mr. F.ditor,, the Chief Police Magistrate has not too many iu the fire and that his duties as Acting General will not prevent his attending U,. tt\e duties of Chief Police Magistrate.. By inserting these few lines in the corner of your Journal perhaps it may be the means of having the nuisance abated, and you wfi), confer a favour on A CONSTANT READER. Auckland, August 20th, lß4i, [We have no hesitation in inserting the above, and inform our corespondent that the Chief Police Magistrate, we have no doubt, will have the provisions of the " Dog IS uisance Ordinance " tarried out to the letter when he gets official instruc' tions with a copy of the Bill, neither of which has he yet received. We believe it is the wish of Mr. Mathew to have the town cleared of the nuisance complained of, as much as any Other person in Auckland, and further, we have no hesitation in saying our Chief Police Magistrate knows nothing more about the •' Dog Nuisance Act" than what he may have seen in the papers, which is not the authority for him to act on. —Ed. Chron.] To the Editor of the Auckland Chronicle. Sib.—Please to give this a place in your valuable paper. If you cannot avoid a quarrel with a blackguard—let your Lawyer manage it, rather than yourself, no man sweeps his own chimney-—but employs a chimneysweeper, who has no objection to dirty work because it is his trade. Another.— Of the professions it may be said that Soldiers are beooming too popular, Parsons to lazy, Physicians t o o mercenary, and Lawyers too. powerful. . A SUBSCRIBER AND FRIEND.
