A PROTEST FROM A TROOPER.
To The Editor. Sir : 1 think it very rough on the members of the Mot-ueka Mounted Rifles to be told in a Kelson paper that they are a drunken dissipated crew. The writer of the letter lives here I think, and the Captain of our company ought- to write and tell the people of Nelson it is a libel on us. I lose a lot of time coming in from Rawaka to be at the parades and practices, and if I am to be called bad names and have my character blackened the sn.mer the thing’ is jacked the better I will be pleased. 1 think our company is as respectable and well be--1 aved as any in the Colony ; that was my ('.pinion when we were m Christ- ; clnirch last June. I am etc., Trooper. Riwaka, Sept. 10th.
