THE MINISTRY AND THE LAND.
TO THK EDITOB. i Si*,-<.-The Minister of Lands did not explain at toy pf his reoent meetings his I conduct in connection with the Haldane floe, amounting to L3l, because a struggling rastoral tenant neglected to pay a half year s rjen* cf Lls in advance for thirty-one days. This is tjao sympathy which Mr shown towards the struggling settler. J. read your article exposing this transaction, and think you did not speak strongly enough against the tyranny ci the Minister, whose conduct Bhonld be farther exposed. Mr M'Kenzie made some Bneering remarks about persons hanging round bang corners, but if all reports are true he is not allowed even to do this, and I have no he would be very glad to get as near a bank §3 he could. I was sorry to notice that Mr Seddon was b&yiDg a Jiing si from which the greater portion of the tazes is drawn. This attempt to teh class against plans is a sort , of pothouse oratory in whioji t£e 'rnenxbere of the present Ministry are fond of indulging. Nothing could be more detrimental to the welfare of the colony than ignorant and abusive criticism, such as those two Ministers have been making.—l am, etc., Colonial, DunedLfl, January 21.
