NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.
“ J. B. Poynter, Chairman Poverty Bay Highway Board.” Your letter addressed “To the Ratepayers of the Poverty Bay Highway District,” —couched in terms of the choicest Billingsgate scurrility, in reference to this journal,—shall have our attention so soon as we have decided what course to pursue with .respect to it. Looking however, upon the language used as a capital specimen of the “Field Lane ” Vocabulary, such as “Bill Sykes,” or “ Charley Bates ” might use—we may possibly publish it. Letters not addressed “to the Editor ” are usually paid for as advertisements; and if “J. B. Poynter Chairman Poverty Bay Highway Board ” is in a hurry to consign himself to a still lower depth of humiliation, we shall have much pleasure in handing him down to it in our next issue, at the rate of 2s an inch.
