THE CEVERED TALES.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,— Bill and I had a meetin on Saturday night to consider the covered tales ’rangement, and also your leader upon it, and as I be your valable corespondant it is my douty to let you no the decision that we have cum to. In the first place we had a reglar trial, and both you and the poleece wer reprecented by liars, the same as they, do in the R.M. court, and Bill and I were the 2 beaks or J.P.’g.

Your first chars? was about the publican that wanted a liaence but as the bench wer among the respectable witoeses in that case we passed it on. The next charg was the coughin one, but we passed on to the chancery busines. In this case we found the poleece guilty under extenuating circumstansea, as the chancery lot were big bugs, and the poleece were not the only ones that neglected there douty, for J no of a Editor being fraid to speak about the doctors lest he or his family should be dosed next time one of them was wanted. Then we came to the cerared tales, and as Bill and I, the Bench, has 15 ewes beteen us, and we always baa a lot of lambs to sort, we we found the poleece guilty. We also went into Sanford’s case, were the bobbies were huntin’ for a man and him in Terauka all the time. Then we hid ago at Davis, the man that was locked up wen he left his work, and some other cases were to cum before us only we did not like to brake the Sabath. The decision we arlved at was that we shall send our report to the Minister of Justise axing him to hear our evidence and the poleeces. We do not intend to apply to Inspectar Broom ’cause he has been ’plied to before, and we think we could get a cleaner broom. If the Minister of Justice finds our charges proved we shall demand that the poleece shall be sacked strait away, and not shifted to another city, tor we consider if they be incapable after bein so many years in the force that they are 2 old ever to iarn wisdom.— L am, etc., Bill’s Mate.
