CORRESPONDENCE.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents.) THE COMMON SHELTON TICKET. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —At our last election the candidates were asked what stand they were prepared to take if elected re Common Shelton’s trouble. Mr. Kenny was the strongest against that claim, promising to do his uttermost to have them rooted out of the site as soon as possible, as he thought they had no right whatever to be there rent free, as it was an injustice to every business man in town, as well as every other ratepayer. Now Mr. Editor, compare Mr. Kenny’s address to the burgesses, when a candidate, which no doubt was the means of his return as a member of the Borough Council and Harbour Board, with the stand he took on Tuesday last, 2 l th instant, in the Harbor Board meeting—let any right thinking man read his defence for Common Shelton and Co., and they will easily come to one conclusion, namely that Mr. Kenny is not the man for Galway. Like More’s almanack, changeable. No more lawyer councillors for me. He is the second one we have had, and I hope the last.—l am &c., Pilgalik. P.S.—Ho told the members of the Harbor Board that Common, Shelton had a right, but Mr. Adair had not.
