WINDING UP.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab

Sin, —As I see that your paper is the only one in the province that is not afraid to honestly attach any abuse, I entreat your influenco on behalf of the large number of poor men resident at the Thames here, who are literally robbed of their hard earned wages by the delay in winding up companies. The Official Agent, Mr. Warner, puts them off wiih some plausible excuses, which will not put bread in their children's mouths. Among other claims that have been hanging on in Mr. Warner's hands, I may mention the "Band of Hope," which for fourteeen months has been " winding up." It is true it has paid 7s. 6d. in the pouud; but nearly all the shareholders are wealthy Auckland men, and there is no reason why it should not have been wound up in three months. lam told that when your paper^takes up anything, it does not rest till it carries its point, and, as an act of charity, I hope you will speak out on this subject, if you are not afraid of the wealthy shareholders among your subscribers and supporters. —I am, &c, Thames;
