TO THE EDITOR OF THE AKAROA MAIL.

g lß) —Although reluctant to refer again to the unbecoming conduct of Mr Q'Reilly in the Catholic Cemetery, on Thursday afternoon last, I cannot allow this opportunity to pass without expressing my satisfaction at seeing the advertisement in your last issue relative to the same, and rejoice to think that such ignorant and bigoted feelings are not entertained by the Catholic body at large towards their fellow-townsmen who happen to differ from them in religious opinions. From what has taken place, I put it to my fellow-burgesses, if the gentleman in question is a fit person to represent their interests, or the interests of any community, and I for one will gladly sign a requisition for him to resign bis seat in the Borough Council, as I consider his conduct deserving of the severest censure, and himself totally unworthy a particle of consideration at. the hands of any of his fel-low-citizens. Nor do I stop with this

councillor alone, another councillor Qjl repeat the word, Mr Editor), used Jarij-. guage most foul and disgusting to a quiejt passer-by the other evening, in my hear*in", while not in a creditable stats, lecting His duties at the Council, no thai no quorum could be formed. It is quitetime the ratepayers were aware that theirinterests are disgraced and neglected by such misdoings. Hoping my hints will be taken, and-a requisition signed, asking both to resign. I am, yours ol ediently, ANOTHER BURGESS.
