CORRESPONDENCE.

(To the Editor). Sir,—Your remarks in reference to the abolition of the District Court and the failure of the Government to make provision for the establishment of Supreme Court sittings in Masterton are worthy of more than passing consideration. In its mad rush for retrenchment the Government has given no consideration as to what should be preserved in the interests of justice in this .district, and our judicial car appears to have been shunted on to a siding for good. The protest entered by the legal profession against the abolition of the District Court, drew from the Minister of Justice a sort of a promise that Supreme Court sittings would be substituted, but he is a cheerful idiot (or otherwise an optimist) who expects to see Supreme Court sittings established here unless further vigorous and sustained representations are made in the right quarter. No good will result from a contingent of Jeremiahs with lungs full of lamentations sitting on their sorrows here. The community as a whole should show a real live interest in a question which affects us all. A district such as the Wairarapa with a population of over . 40,000 surely demands the maintenance of the office of Deputy Official Assignee and regular sittings of a superior Court.- I am, etc., ■ BUSINESS MAN.
