A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
To the Editor. Sis, —The conduct of Mr J. G. S. Grant at various of the recent public, and even some private, meetings held in Dunedin, has been such that I think some decided steps should he taken to stop a public nuisance. I need only allude to his conduct at the presentation of the testimonial to Mr E. B. Cargill, and to his interruptions and attempts to addrsss the audience in the Princess Theatre on the two last Sunday evenings. There is hardly a meeting held at which he does not interfere. His abuse of all and sundry, and his coarse and vi -lent language, need not he alluded to; hut I think, in the interests of public decency, public order, and personal liberty, some steps should he taken to put down this nuisance. If our police and our laws are valueless to protect us against such outrageous conduct, it were time that something should he done by our Legislature to reform an existing abuse of individual liberty. Can nothing he done, I ask, to get rid of this glaring nuisance—hut must the citizens be annoyed and abused by turns by one of their number, to gratify his splenetic, soured, and disappointed temper ? I am, &c., Omega. Dunedin, May 13.
