Sir, —Permit the Paeroa Cemetery to again figure in your columns : this time with a matter so revolting and un-British as to be incredible. From the sacred resting-places of the innocent —from the graves of children — fresh flowers are being removed by some person or persons. There is no surmise about the matter. The flowers, placed there by sorrowing, bereft parents and relatives, are being snatched from the vases before they have had time to discolour the water in which they stand. I suggest no remedy. My mind simply cannot conceive nor contemplate such. I simply refer the facts of this heathen outrage to the public. MOURNER.
