CHBISTCHURCH CONVEYANCE COMPANY. To the Editor of the Lyttelton Times. Sik, —Allow me, through, the medium of your columns, to disabuse the public mind of the unfair reports that have recently been circulated nbout the working of the Company's vessels. During the stormy weather that prevailed a short time ago, some injury occurred to the goods belonging to one of the shareholders, which having been represented to the general body, immediate steps were taken to remedy the evil complained of. The object aimed at in establishing the Company was to protect the public and shareholders from the gross imposition and depredation that had been practised in the early days of Christenurch, andwhicb. were only experienced by the first settlers there. Several of the shareholders have repeatedly stated, that, independent of the benefits they have experienced from the general arrangements of the Company, they consider themselves to have saved more than their investment by the cessation of the irregularities above mentioned, as well as by the reduction of freights. Malevolence is the most insidious of all evils, and the one most difficult to contend against, which must be my apology for troubling you with these few lines. Fair play is due to all". I remain, Sir, yours obediently, A Shaeeholdee.
