THE JUSTICE OF TEMUKA.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Can you or any of your readers inform me where we shall have to go for justice? after what occurred in the EM, Court on Monday last. I allude to the case against myself. In that case I was sued for two weeks and threo days' rent that I had a receipt for, which I produced in Court; also, for a month's rent for not giving a month's notice for which there was nothing in the agreement produced by plaintiff signed by me. Now this case wont against me. Mr Editor, I shsuld not have felt so much aggrieved had the case in question been decided by any of our Justices of the Peace, they being only apprentices; but from the R.M. himself I did expect something near the mark. I believe there were no reporters in Court at the time, and the train by which the R.M. leaves Temuka was nearly due, which might in some way account for the hurried decision. Hoping I am not giving too much trouble, I am, etc.) William Atkinson.
