MR GILLIES AND THE SPEAKERSHIP.
To the Editor, Sin,—“ Common Sense ” in your last night’s issue evidences that bis sense is that which is common to a certain class of individuals The devil quoted Scripture after a fashion not yet departed from. Clause 19 of the Otago Harbor Board Ordinance is as follows: “ Every member of the Board and, every officer employed by the Board who shall exact or accept ou account of anything clone by virtue of his office or in relation to the matters to be done under this Ordinance, any fee or reward whatsoever other than the salary or allowance (if any) allowed by the Board, _or who shall be in anyway concerned or interested in any bargain or contract made by the Board, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding fifty pounds.” I leave the common sense of your readers to form their own estimate of your correspondent’s sense, be it common or uncommon. Mr Gillies may well laugh at his miserable enemies.— I am, &c., No Nonsense. Dunedin, May 5.
