MR FANTHAM AND THE SHEEP INSPECTOR.

TO THE EDITOB. Sir, — Will you kindly give me space in your next ifasue to say a few words in reply to Mr Fantham s letter published in Saturday's number. Mr Fantham ig evidently annoyed at receiving a notice from me to cleanse his flock * he must know that it is compulsory on my part to serve him with a notice. Mr Fantham also appears anxious that the public should believe I do not know a louse when I see one. I should give every old woman credit for knowing that, even Mr Fantham. As Mr Fantham is so learned, and possesses so much scientific knowledge as to be able to discover lice in sheep, the New Zealand Government cannot do better than make him Sheep Inspector. , I have no hesitation J in telling Mr Fantham he would find it to his profit and credit to pay more attention to his farm, and not interfere with other people's business, and meddle with matters he knows nothing about. Mr Fantham madeseveral attempts to bully me, and I take this opportunity, of telling him he had better not go too far with his low, mean insinuations. — I am, &c, , ,A. Shabp, M.R.O.V.S. Hamilton, April 11, 1881.
