N-qw,~ Friend Andei'3on, can you explain away this apparent inconsistency P r ßefore Mr. Johnston left Palmerston we sought an . elucidation from that gentleman, and ho aecoimfced for the incon* gruity by stating that you were '' a tnnn of lai;ge and ,wide sympathies." Was he right, or was it thaJL, circumstances alter cases, and that there were,' "wheels within wheels."

For the Palmerston district there are three J.s.P; jbesldeThjhe Mayor; bnt inasmuch as Mr. Snelson has not, nor will not tnke his seat on .the "Bench, for private rpasons^ and Miv- Monrad lives six miles' distance foam town, the whole duty is thrown upon Messrs. rM'j^eil and Dalrymple. To make the matter more troublesome Mr. Dalrvmple lives a considerable distance beyond the tawnibonndnries, and invariably his presence necessitates a, journey on the part of the constable to his house. On Thursday, the Court was summoned for eleven o'clock, and one J.P. was present, together with witnesses, prisoner, Press and prosecutor, b,u,t a,fter, fcUvea <i l V¥s<?V 8 , WA°^'» d^ a 7>,

In the reproduction, of his cartoons, the artist has sought the assistance of the lithographer instead of the wood engraver, and consequently the outlines of the various sketches are not quite so distinct as they might have been. Still the subjects chosen are happy and the likenesses of the characters faithfully depicted, ! while the letter-press is admirably executed and the subject matter well written. The principal cartoon is a two-page sketch of a set-to between the two political leaders, Sir Gteorge and Sir WilHam,J zfnd as the latter is represented m a recumbent position from the effects of a "floorer " from the Premier, it is easy to judge that Mr. Punch is of the Ministerial ''persuasion;", r True to his name, we presume h'e^w.illfbe' m" hot water" " go m lemons," and "get squeezed." . -" r A Terror 'to Evrt.
