CORRESPONDENCE.
NELSON INSTITUTE. j To the Editor of the 'Evening Mail.' ■ Sir,— Many of your readers are subscribers to the Institute Library, and as your columns are always open for the insertion of any matter affecting the interest of our public institutions, may I be allowed to make another and still more urgent appeal to those persons who, by keeping books, tec, so long after time allowed, give me a great amount of trouble, and at the same timo very selfishly deprive many readers of that which they have a right to obtain. No doubt cases of forgetful ness do occur, but I fear that in too many instances careless indifference to the rights of others is the causa. There is a box for the reception of returned books, &c, though I much prefer receiving them by hand from the subscribers. If a fortnight is not a sufficient length of time for the readers, any book can be renewed provided that such book has not been enquired for in the meantime. j I sincerely trust I may be saved from the ' unpleasant duty of inflicting fines. Yours, &c, T. Gilbert, Nelson, Sept. 14. Librarian.
