JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sir, — Will you kindly permit me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to ventilate what I and many others feel as a great inconvenience. I refer to the absence in the Mangaone, and Harbor Block districts, of gentlemen on the Commission of the Peace. Both these districts are thickly settled, and great hardship is often caused to the settlers, owing to the distance they are obliged to travel to obtain the service of a J.P. to witness the signing of legal documents, applications for, and transfers of land, etc. There are several gentlemen residing in the before mentioned districts eminently qualified to undertake the duties, and I believe that they would be agreeable to accept the responsibilities of the position. I would therefore suggest that as soon as possible, steps be taken to appoint at least two gentlemen to the position, which would I feel assured, be regarded as a boon by the settlers of Mangaone and the Harbor Board Block. —I am, etc, W.G.
