CELESTIAL JUSTICE.
To the Editor. Sir,—-Wong Tip has now great cause to complain. Unaided, he caught, time after time, no end of small fry and a few salmon trouts, for which a merciful Bench fined him Is and costs. But lo ! look at the reception his cousin, Chang-Mur Bon, gets when opposite the very same culvert, with a mtfch larger n*t, he oaptures another of those pets of the Acclimatisation Society known as trout. But this is not all. Wong Tip put his trout out of misery at once ; while Chang-Mur—-son places his in a confined tub of water, and then brings all the mandarins of Dunedin to look at it, nome of the more scientific ones peraecuting it with such expletives as "Maxilliary bones," "length of gape," "crown spots," and so forth ; but, to end all, ChangMur——son diving his hands into his capacious trousers gives orders to have Master Brown Trout killed. Bufwhere he went to those not in the acclimatisation circle want to know.—l am, &c, MoNCiCoXO. Dunedin, December 20.
