THE ARMS ACT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —A good deal has been heard lately of the Arras Act and its inconvenience to shooters and general sportsmen, and everyone knows that the Act is at present receiving attention from the present Government. In the north various petitions have been forwarded to parliamentary members asking for their support in abolishing the Act, but nothing has been beard of anything being done in the south. It may surprise your readers to learn that the matter was taken up by us last June, and in reply to one of our letters to the Hon. Minister of Justice that gentleman informed us that our representations would receive due and favourable consideration. Since the Act came into force it has cost the country a considerable amount of money, and no benefit has been gained by anyone; in fact, it has been a hindrance and a nuisance to all. However, the matter is before the Government now, and wo must await its decision; but at tho same time wo would like to point out that Dunedin has not been asleep in the matter, as wc have been corresponding with the officials since June.—We are, etc., White’s Sports Depot (A. S. Cayzer, manager). October 17.
