MR. TRAVERS AND THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —I should have thought that even you could have seen the distinction between the “constituency of Wellington” and the “ licensed victuallers of Wellington.” I never promised to meet mere sections of the constituency whenever they chose to ask me to do so ; but I should, I think, be failing in courtesy to any body of persons interested in a question before Parliament, if I refused to meet them, and to offer ray advice, for what it might be worth, as to the course they ought to adopt in regard to it. I suggested what I believed to be a practical course, one which, at all events, appeared to be satisfactory to the meeting; but it would certainly have been useless for Mr. Hunter and myself to remain and hear speeches which might all be summed up in the words “we object to the Bill.”—I am, &c,, Wm. Tiios. Locke Travers. Wellington, August 30.
