CATTLE TRESPASS.

J 2fa r %c,Editor of the Akaroa Mail. Sir, —Will you please to g;iv_ me space . inyour valuable paper to hare ai good §royrl.,. ,1 am neither President nor. Grand row] Master General of flic Shark Alley Lodge, so iffl -am to do enough at it I hope some of my fellow-travellers will sling in properly. The subject! and every person tbat travels tbe Long Bay road have to growl about is the way in, which it is cut up by the cattle of one of the settlers have been depasturing on the said road, every winter since he has been living in the locality. Any person that doubts the troth of my statement let him take a walk up the said* road either day or night, and I will be bound to say he will have ocular proof both of the mud and from fifteen to twenty cows which fiil'up the water channels and tread all the lower, side of the road away. Now, Mr Editor,' the! pilblic have the pleasure -of travelling for about three quarters of a mile ankle deep, in mud for at least four months of the year for the sake of tins worthy farmer, If it is t Sergeant Willis' duty to! see after stray cattle, the sooner he visits the locality the for they make it dangerous to* both Llifc and limb.

k I think it is high time there was £ stop pVt to,people who make a practice of depasturing cattle on f6rmed'roads.

Apologising for grumbling so long, I remainySir, ' : ' - ' ' ' -- >•

Yours, &c.,
