DISTURBERS OF MEETINGS.
To the Editor.
Sib, — \s nearly every public meeting that takes place in Dunedin is so horribly disturbed by a parcel of electioneering mountebanks, I beg to suggest the following plan to prevent the hideous diu they make. Let the City Council make a bye-law for conducting public meetings in a more orderly manner, making it punishable for anyone to create a disturbance after being called to order by the Mayor or other person presiding. Public meetings here, instead of being conducted in that order which ought to characterise the proceedings of the first citizens of New Zealand, are more like bear gardens. This evil is growing, and will ere long, unless something bo done to prevent it, bring about a repetition of things as they were in Prance in ’95.—1 am, &c.,
