AN INQUIRY.
(TO "tJH_ BDn»B OF TB_ irarra.) Snt, — It being rumored that the Provincial Government have quietly granted Messrs Conyers, Shearer, and Co., flaxmillers, the exclusive right of cutting flax on the Railway Reserves, without the usual formality of asking for tenders for the same, and believing from the constitution of the present Executive, with Mr Calder as its head, that such rumor must be utterly groundless, I wish you would, after due enquiry, be able to give a flat denial to these statements of "the man in the street," which so seldom are well, founded.— Yours &c, Faib Piat. | [We shall make enquiries into the matter referred to by our correspondent, and recur to it in our next issue. — Ed. S.T.]
