TAPLEY V. BARKER.
(To the Editor of the Westport Times.) Sir, —It was once remarked to Mr Kynnersley, when the New Groldfields Regulations first came out, that it was possible to drive a coach and horses through them, and it is not at all astonishing to find that almost every week verifies the saying. For instance, thoro is the case of Tapley v. Barker, in which Tapley and party hold ten men's ground as au amalgamated claim, after which they take four men's ground more, and work it from the same tunnel as the amalgamated claim. I should be glad if some of your mining friends would tell me if I am not right in saying that it does away with the amalgamation. Even now the generality of the miners look upon this clause as a perfect monopoly.—l am, yours, &c, Mailliw. Westport, May 25.
