A GRIEVANCE.
To the Editor,
Sip,—'The unfortunate consignees of goods by the Wild Deer are having their patience sorely tried. Goods are only being delivered in driblets, and though shipped five months ago, no information can be obtain'd as to when the bulk of the goods will be delivered The serious loss and detriment occasioned threeby is very trying to many unfortunate tradesmen, who having promised long since to their customers to deliver certain goods on her arrival (the Wild Deer), found thepinelve* unable to do so. The re-ult is they lose tbeir customers, and what is worse, their word is doubled; for the general public cannot realise the possibility of the agents or oilicers of a ship, after making an unusually lengthy passage, being dilatory in discharging goods alter arrival in port. It wou'd almost appear, howi ver, that the vessels making the slowest passages are the slowest in discharging. I have been credibly informed that the Wild Deer could have berthed alongside the railway pier, had her commander chosen to have her there.—l am, Ac., A Sufferer. Dunedin, May 22.
