NELSON PROVINCIAL COUNCIL
(To the Editor of the Grey River Argus.) Sir — In present times I grant we ought not to be surprised at anything that takes place ; yet the news just received has certainly stunned a good many — viz., that a policeman has the effrontery to come forward to represent us in the Council. There is on the face of this more than meets the eye ; it must be done by those, in office for their own object, and they have met with a ready tool. Will you, sir, kindly find out if possible and enlighten us, so that we may have the right man in the right place. I am, &c, A Traveller. Cobden, Oct. 27, 1869. [We supposed our correspondent referred to Inspector Franklyn, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the representation of the Buller District, but we have since learned it is intended to bring him forward for the Grey District. Such a proceeding is contrary to the Constitution Act, and we will be surprised if the Nelson Government should wink at such a proceeding. Mr Fvanklyn ought to resign his position under the Government before ho is nominated as a candidate.— E».]
