SUNDAY TRADING.
TO THE EDITOB.
Sie,— Our Prohibitionist leaders boast sometimes that we are always making converts while the drink-trade loses them. But the prominence lately given to the names of Mr Michael Hart and Mr Corley in your columns reminds ns that the drinktrade does make some converts. Mr Michael Hart once wore the Good Templar badge, and as to Mr Corley, when Miss Ackermann was here, he was secretary to a Good Templar Lodge, got up an addreea to that enthusiastic prohibition advocate, and in a month was canvassing for the publicans. We shall need some other testimony before we believe his assertion about those four young prohibitionists and the sick man’s whisky.—l am. &c., *ROBERT CLEPHANB.
TO THE EDITOE. Sie, “Ex-Toper” wants to know who Michael Hart is. I have not the pleasure of knowing him personally, but I notice he appears in the papers very often, and that ho always comes off second beat. I am very glad to find that there are a few young men in Christchurch willing to take up this question of Sunday trading. If the police won’t do it, somebody else must. “ Ex-Toper ” says that there is any amount of Sunday trading going on in his district. I am sorry to say that we in Ashburton have the same complaint to make. There are publicans in this district doing more business on Sunday than on any ether day in the week, and the police know it, but they wink the other eye.—l am, &0., * ANTI-HUMBUG.
