GOVERNMENT SUNDAY TRAFFIC.
(To the JSditoroft/w Westport Times.)
Sir, —Can you inform me if a Detective is entitled to intrude himself into one's private place of abode, and inquire after miners' rights ; such an occurrence having taken place to us here last Sunday. The funds of the Government must indeed be at a low ebb when it is necessary to employ a member of the Detective force to hawk business licenses and miners' rights in this forsaken district, and that on a Sunday. Miners have quite sufficient inducement to be possessed of rights for the protection of their own interests without this disagreeable interference. This is the first instance of hunting up miners' rights which we have heard of since the " good old times," and which are remembered with such little satisfaction and led to such disastrous results.—l am, Sir, yours &c, A. C. Campbell. Mohikinui, March 17.
