CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the 'Evening Mail.' Sir,—l heartily endorse the remarks made by you relative to the letter of " Participator." At the same time I beg to say that it would indeed be difficult to frame language sufficiently strong in condemnation of the loathsome miscreant who could deliberately follow out a course of such heartless and brutal conduct as that man P. B. Joseph has been guilty of; and I agree with you in saying that if the fathers of the children betrayed had, in their righteous indignation, inflicted the fullest measure of condign punishment on the person of the dehaucher, the eutire sympathy of the public would have gone with them. But, Sir, if the peace of a city is, with impunity, to be rudely violated by the doings of a lawless mob, we may bid farewell to peace and order, and it is fearful to contemplate the consequences of such a state of society. I am, &c, P.RINCIPII3 ObSTA. Nelson, March 12, 1878.
