CORRESPONDENCE.
—file Burial Scandal, [TO IHE EDM,] Sir,—As you quote from the letter of the Master of tho s,B, Duke of Argyll, on the above subject, permit me to Bay for tho information of your readers, that during my residence of three years in Auckland, I never knew a minister refuse to bury unless a fee amounting to 10b 8d was paid. The only clergymen to whom fees are paid are Anglican and Koman Catholio, and I have known them frequently remit the fees in cases of poverty. The captain ought to havo given the name of the undertaker, If be is in the habit of putting 10s 6d into his accounts as clergymeuB 1 fees, it iB very probable that they never reach tho" Cloth," and it is unpardonable on the part of the undertaker that he Bliould add insult to injury. • Yours, etc., JohnDdkes. Maiteiton lltb Ootober,
