To the Editor of the Lyttelton Times.

Sir, —Can you tell me what should be done with human bones found under circumstances calculated to give rise to an idea that those bones were part of a person but recently living, and only very lately missed, from amongst us ? I see by your last week's paper that you have had another strong hint from one of your friends at Kaiapoi. You may perhaps be a little surprised to find that men down here in Lyttelton, do feel a good deal of curiosity in the matter. Now, Sir, without meaning the slightest offence, I must say, I expected, your paper to have taken up the inquiry. Having, however, noticed with great pleasure, that a fellow townsman of ours, who serves us in the Provincial Council, did the other night set forth his legal learning, in lay-teaching and correction, of all; the lawyers in the Council House ; surely he will make a kind exhibition of his learning, and deep research for the public good once more, and tell us all about the 'k poor man's bones at Kaiapoi. " Yours truly, Imptjdentissimtts.
