AN EXPLANATION.
To the Editor. Sir,—l so.-; by your paper that a complaint has been made about the cattle grazing in the paddock adjoining the cemetery ground occasionally breaking through the fence and rambling about the mounds and damaging the graves and headstones, etc. This is positively untrue. I challenge the statement. While I admit that one of the cows got through the fence, the caretaker (Sir. Oamlin) saw and removed it at once. He reported it to me, and I remedied the evil at once. The cow never was near the graves. The reason for the cattle grazing in the paddock was to eat down the long oats from last year's cropping, it being impossible to plough it in. When Mr. Gamlin reported that the cow had been thrluglw the fence, I had them removed to another paddock. I have always respected the last resting-place of the departed, and especially New Plymouth, Cemetery, so nicely kept by the present caretaker.— I am, etc., T. M. STEPHENS, Lessee.
