To the Editor oir thb Evbkibg Mao.. Sir,— An extract from the Wet tport Times appeared in your is»ue of 28th May, commenting on the re^u tion of the vote lor the BBlarieff-o^Tlie~W^gr*Cos?r^W«faertl» and proposing to do away "WTHT"Mw»tJl''them on the groand Unit three ' r cann«t~aTid>fuir employment for their hours of office-duty, except In make belie re business " whatever that way mean. Many persons in Nelson might be willing to accept the editor of fi West Coast papei as an authority on matters in his neighborhood, but I am in a position to know that the statement referred Jo is utterly untrue, and I cannot permit it to pass utycoptradjnted. The writer of that aricle* has evidently no *Mpa what ate the hours of office' duty of a GbLifiiLis Warden In fact it would be difficult for anyone to define them. A Warden and Resident Magistrate, is often compel ed to work from early mornii-g till late at Dight in his offiVe; and has besides, to bold Coutts and visit claims nearly every day of the week over an area of rough country forty or fifty miles equar.\ In addition to these duties, each ot the srentlemen now performing them on the South West Goldfields, has others nearly as troublesome and responsible to discharge being Coroner, Receiver of Bevenue, Registrar, &c', ail of which occupy time, and entail an immense amount of writing and travelling about.— So touch for the practicability of dispensing wilh ore of tbe Warden* and Magistrates. As for the reductionfef £100 a year in their sauries, \F think that even the reforming members of the Council must admit that such a course would be unjust and niggardly, considering the high price of all th« necessaries of life "on the Gbldfields". I the writer of the article in\ thei Wesfport Times, instead of speculating Jto to whether expediency will or wi'l not be tempered by discretion could induce discretion to 'guide his pen whenever he attempts to write on subjects nbout which he is ignorant how much better would it be. And before' he again ven'ureq to lecture upon the manner in which others should discharge thiir duties let him make" quite sure of his ability t-j perform his own; «nd then the public will be spared such dogmatical, illogical, and ungrammatical effusions as that; which was repiinted in your papet of 28th May, . , jlllave, &c, •V /' T ' IOTA * Nelson June 3rd, 1874.
