The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 1882. BETWEEN SATURDAY AND MONDAY.

In - THE language of the Chairman of . a temperance 1 meeting held last evenI ing, 'the' Bev; Mr tot was outspoken. We respect the reverend '• gentleman for speaking out; with a ;• view to grapple with a practical evil, , and we are prepared' 1 to accept his evidence that the Licensing: Act is ■ carried out with a certain amount of !, laxity" in Masterton, • as j regards p Sunday trading, 'by.'.''feme !licensed houses, and that the : policp, taking . their one I .from the;, Bench, wink"-'at certain'evasions'of 'its provisions, If »' public .opinion ia in favor' of the I course taken by, i)h'e Bench and the ..police, it will, be very difficult to r " enforce the letter of the Act,; If, on • the , other public opinion favors , tho.literal fulfilment of the law, the Bench- and the police, like'sensible' I men,' will have to give way to it, and. j, ,carry <; out the law rigidly. We ; are ' favorable .to publichou.se bars being • olosed on Sundays, both for the sake of , landlords and customers.

Fifteen succession cases were disposed of, and others adjourned either to Greytown or Masterton. . Mr Wood held a sale of stock at the t Pastoral Grounds, Carterton," yesterday, . and it was to be resetted that, with the.' quantity of bona -fide bidders present,, ( there was not i a larger number of pens i filled j but the prices realised were good. Five hundred sheep, a mixed lot, went . at private sale , for 13s. Mr Wood could easily have placed three or four hundred head of stock had they been on the ' ,- rmmd ' Pahiatua. huyors were in force, . '>nd it is evident that this recently opened block is going well ahead, and seiilers are highly satisfied with their ' bargains. Some fruit and ornamental trues, camellias and othor flowers, plants, : and potatoes were also disposed of, t ( MrW. P.
