MR MARSH, & BLOCK IX.

(TO the editor of the dhnstan times.)

I see in the report of our late Town Council meeting, Councillor Grant says I ran foul of the Bridge reserve, and succeeded in becoming a possessor under questionable circumstances.

For Councillor Grant’s information, I bog to contradict that statement, as 1 bought Mr John Butler's interest in the said piece of land, win) held it under two business licenses, and no portion of it is on the Bridge reserve, and if my land was worth L 3 a foot, why should not that which Councillor Grant holds bo of the same value, as it is in a more valuable position, and why should not Councillor Grant be made to pay interest on that value for the time he has so occupied it. 1 may inform Councillor Grant I also paid for the Survey, and also Business licenses, is he doing the same ? Ido not know what he means by my buying it quietly for L 5 ;it w.as put up to public auction, I would like to know if Councillor Grant intends to cast any reflec'ions on the Government Auctioneer, or not. The quotation about squatocracy and progression is very appropriate ; what are the settlers on Block IX but squatters, with this difference, —squatters pay something for the use of the laud, but settlers on the street, and Block IX pay nothing. Councillor Grant’s quotation of “Burn’s” is very applicable to himself, and I quote from another authority :—. “Thrice armed is he, whose cause is jhst.” Yours, &c., Jon\ Mat sit.

These pamphlets are sent, post froe, for two stamps each, and they cannot he too strongly recommended to those contemplating a purchase, especially to residents in the country or abroad, who are thus enabled to select any article they may inquire, and have forwarded in perfect safety'.
