THE NORTH.

We believe that Government intend shortly to stretch another wire between Auckland and the Thames, the great pressure of business making such an addition necessary. We notice that some very plain-speaking communications from correspondents appear from time to time in the columns of our Northern contemporaries. Asa sample, we give the following, addressed to the editor of the IPunpauHt Herald, from one signing himself “Legal” “Sir—lt is very currently reported in town that a gentleman with a large hump on his back has lent a magistrate a large sum of money, payable on demand. As such a circumstance might tend to thwart the ends of justice, I write to know if cither you or any of your readers can thrown any light on the subject.” One can fancy the amazement of the parties interested more especially the money-lender —on reading the above. As a matter of course, the editor of the Herald adds that he can throw no light upon the subject, but is ready to receive the fullest information relating to a matter that so closely affects the proper administration of justice.
