A SUGGESTION.
(To the Editor.) Sir, — I observe from the " Otago Daily Times " issue of the 22nd inst. that " our Warden " at Clyde had commenced a course of lectures on " forensic etiquette," diversified with quotations from Shakespeare. The first of these lectures was delivered in the Warden's Court, Clyde, on the 14th inst.
I trust that our Warden will not fail to complete the series, and if sufficient publicity be given to the matter, no doubt most of the gentlemen practising at the colonial bar will avail themselves of the opportunity of attending.
It is so seldom that one can listen to a lecturer who studiously practices what he preaches ; that when such a rara avis is discovered, he ought not to be permitted to hide his light under a bushel. I venture to express a hope that the golden link which now binds our Warden to the Dunstan district may never be ruthlessly severed,- but that he may long live to edify us by his brilliant lectures, and set us an example by his own exemplary conduct.
I am not a reporter, or I would have headed this communication " Country news — from our own correspondent. — I am, &c., Agricola. Dunstan, July 1.
