Letters to the Editor. THE HAMILTON BUTCHERS.

Sir,— ln tniwer to PatetkmUia'i Utter id jour issue of Thursday tat, I much feel for him, Tht grievaac* L* eozspWa* of i« » T»*y •■* * the opinion he has of the Knights of th»Ck*rw no doubt an hit own ; from hit letter I should imagine him to bearejrj.tntelljgent being and can* able of doing wooden ; for nay own part, I should b* vosl happy to^coinnusion him to bay for me, that it if he will jparantee to purchase slock so that I can supply, the public at a cheaper rate. It is an old sayinglhat cash commands a cheap article; I will supply him with .that ingredient, the former I jneato^ providing ha finds good security. I hare g(ea| pleasure to inform him, I do not purchase ,qa pals either long or short dated&lf Paterfamilias can pro re I hare given a pro note during my business transactions in Hamilton which date back to July, 1865, 1 shall bare great pleasure in presenting him with a imtfU donation of £10,, (ten pounds), towards carrying out his 00-operatir© scheme which I think would bea groat success under his judicious management and put the present Knigbta of the clearer hots dc combat. With respect to hit statement regardIng Auckland prices, I beliere it to be erroneous, I hare been in this Frorinoa some, yean, and never caw a roast of beef sold in Auckland during the winter season for l#s» than 6d per lb cash. Allow me to infenn Paterfamilias it is not a fact tbat a compact exists, but rather the other way. I also inform him that the cash customers do not pay for the bad marks, thinking that he would rank amongst the latter and would hare little to complain of if that was the case. Before concluding, f. beg to advise him not to remain longer in a place among such a greeny and grasptDg set, as he terma them, but to hasten to ths^oily that flows with milk and honey, where he will be able to eatisfy his taste. From his letter I hare every reason to believe him to be a one powd steak gentleman with a jank of fat throwj^Afor lupk^iho.jffne H>b*thallxd up. In ca^Bß^erfamiUae <>oe»i)ot depart from tfa» place, I *hould strongly recommend him to turn vegetarian and not to throw away any more cash to swell the butchers purses. In case you write again pleate attach your real name, Mr Pater* - familias for I think-, your acquaintance is worth having, if it can be had at a price. Apologi* ing Mr Editor for- baring to encroach on yvur valuable columns. —^am, &c, Joxv Wood. Hamilton, Ootober Oft, 1876.
