AN EXAMPLE.

(To the Editor of the Moukt Ida Chiwestgle.)

Sir, —The liberal spirit exhibited in the enclosed advertisement, which appeared in the ' Dunstan Times ' of the 26th ult., should teach the runholders in this District a lesson, and set them an example of liberality well worthy of their imitation..

I consider that, in offering the liberal and conciliatory terms they have done, Messrs. Campbell and Low have at the same time consulted their own interest, and that in the least possible objectionable manner. That the present outcry for land for the purposes both of settlement and commonage, is not, as has been stated jb»y Mr. Macandrew, "mere claptrap," is evident from the avidity with which the land thrown open for selection; under the Agricultural Lease Regulations, was lately taken up at* the Teviot

Disguise the matter asthey the runholders know Ml well that in time the broad acres held by them for depasturing sheep must be taken from them for the requirements of population, and tbe pest way to, stave off the (to them) evil day would, in my opinion, be by following the example so iiohly set by Messrs. Campbell and Low.—l am, &c., A WOXJLD-BE CpQEATOO. "Notice.
