LAND MONOPOLY IN CROMWELL.
To the Editor of the Cromwell Arous.
Sir, —I wish, to call your attention to a great wrong that is being done to the inhabitants of Cromwell in general, and the cattle-owners in particular. There is a piece of the best grazing ground in the district being fenced off by a single individual, to the exclusion of all the other citizens’ cattle; and, besides the comparatively good pasture on the land, it is the only place whore the cattle can go to quench their thirst. I do not know by whose authority the land is being fenced in, or whether the procedure is according to law. Perhaps you, Mr Editor, or some of your numerous readers £an imform me. There has been no application posted up on the ground, so far as 1 call learn; If Mr Longbnan has rented it to Mr Goodger, it is for the inhabitants of Cromwell to beg the former gentleman to reconsider the matter, and at the same time point dot to him the great wrong he is doing io the people of Cromwell. The piece of ground I allude to is known as the Low Flat. If you will kindly give this letter space in your paper, it may perhaps induce some one more able than myself to take up Ilia pen, and point out the injustice that is being done.—l am, &c., A Citizen. Cromwell, April 11.
