To the Editor of the Hawke's Hay Times. Sir, —I am sure you have heard it said “Curiosity thy name is Woman !” therefore you will not be surprised at my troubling you with a few questions. - Firstwas there not a law passed to prevent pigs of all sorts straying about the town ? if so, how am I annoyed by a lady pig and all her little ones coming at the time I feed my fowls, and eating what I intended for them ? Now, whoso neglect of duty am I to attribute it to ? Is it the Inspector of Police (I do not think it can be Mr. La Serre, for he is too much the friend of the ladies to allow such an annoyance if he could prevent it,) or is it the Police themselves ? I should like to know, for I do not like to blame the wrong party, but, I think whoever it is ought to do well what they are paid for doing. Trusting you will excuse my trespassing on your kindness, I remain Your well wisher, A Woman or Napier.
