HOLLAND'S SENTENCE.
Sir,—Don't you think it is premature on. the part of the Red Feds to try and get up an agitation fof a reprieve for Mr. Holland? 1 believe- it is usual for a prisoner to serve? part of his sentence, nnd that must, be 1 backed up by good behaviour, before ; either be or his Mends eoukl aspect anything in the shape of mitigation of sentence, I saw a letter the otheT day from the Westport Branch of five Social Democratic party, in which the writer ftsks for a reprieve oft the grounds that Mr. Holland is a permanent cripple. Now, sir, h it.not passing strange that ■through the strike this gent-Wan showed no signs of indisposition of any kind, in fact he was particularly active in more ways than ©no, (Hid it was apparent to all that whether lie was a cripple or not his tongue was normal. If in the future the Government should see fit- to commute his sentence, I hope it will be eoiiditioMal on his leaving New feslfHid never to re-tarn. Hoping you will find a small spijeo : for this, and, thanking yon for publication;,— t a-m,. etc.,
