CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor op tub 'Eyeing Mail.' Sir— l think lam right in saying that itis contrary to» Eaglish bringing up and character to look on silently while a mau is first knocked down and then kicked. This cowardly trick has been grossly perpetrated against Judge Thomas by the Incumbent of All Saints iu his letter which appeared in your issue of last night. As an outsider I fravp watched with interest, as many others have .dope, #ie gtorpi tjisjt has been raging in the parish of AU Saints <hn*ing fh_e last three weeks, and, while unable to credit Judge Thomas with wisdom in his mode of procedure, I, for one, compliment him highly upon his courage ami sincerity throughout the whole affair. The spirit with which he entered into and maintained the contest is sufficiently indicated by his action ou the Sunday morning referred to by Mr Newth. Mr Newth should have seen this— perhaps he did"- but elated tyy pcqess forgot the sacred nature of such, -feeljngp as jbe go cruelly, sarcastically, jpd jn a most' unchristian* manner gives publicity to. lit wasmoj-e tb^n " nice and proper >' in Judge Thomas to act as he did on the morning referred to, it was brave because humiliating, and christian because such as an unchristian disposition would not have submitted itself to. Mr Newth urges that he hoped he had heard the last of Mr Thomas' "ritualistic fad," and so he had so jar as himself was concerned. Mr Thomas was replying to " Nelson Citizen," and op th*i rfrotind, therefore, Mr Newth's letter was uncalled for. ' Jt wag-art jugjorjous attack upou a fallen enemy, which uo one need be proud of, and most of all unbecoming and unpardonable iu a clergymau. One's surprise, too, is increased in that tbe reverend gentleman's coarse and unfeeling production contrasts so unfavorably with the temperate i and moderate reply of "Nelson Citizen " iu the same column, yj;o, I surmise, is a layMiau. — J am ; &c 7 '•''•••; Another Citizen.

We take the following from Wednesday's iV. Z. Titftts :— Tfyej-e was jj, Ipug and interesting, if occasionally soniexvhaf; warm, discussion iu the Legislative Council yesterday, in committee on the Electoral Bill. Tlic provisionsof clause 1-1 were hy an ameudtnent confined to the European electors, the Maoris being excluded from the exercise of the residental franchise. In clause 18 the ratepayers' franchise was prpsprFed. to ffie n.atjvga who pay rates • bnt the s^b-pli^e, gjving them a freehold franchise upon the con)tnuunl title, was s.truck out. The Maoris will now have their special representation, and, iu addition, they choose to become ratepayers, they will be placed upon the electoral rojl, and hayc votes in th.e election of tho European niemhors of the House of Representatives,

Mr Barton (says the ftst) is a law fretorraer, and his style is thorough. He yesterday advocated, in the House, the payment °* lawv ers on the same principle as every other profession is paid— so much for a certain amount of work to be completed. Thus, when a case comes on in Court, Mr Barton would have the amount to be paid to the lawyers fixed before hand, the losing side, of course, to pay. That plan, he said, would have a wonderful effect iu shortening cases, preventing vexatious appeals, atd " little mistakes " iu the pleadings or records which necessitated new trials, and would save the client from being charged for such items as " To attendance on Mr A , and advising him to cross his t's, 13s 4d." This idea, Mr Barton admitted, would not meet with universal acceptance among the profession. Today it was but a small shoot, which was laughed at; next year it would be a shrub, finally ifc would grow to be a big tree, bearing fruit. A novel method of preserving meat is thus described by the St Arnaud Mercury:-— " Mr Stahl, of the Pyrites Works, informs us that, on Monday last, while carting away tailings from the Chrysolite mine, he came across a leg of mutton embedded in the sand fuilysix feet in depth, and in a spot which he knows, from personal experience, has not been molested for at least, four years. A broftn coating had accumulated on the surface of the meat, which was only skin deep aud when removed the use of the knife exposed mutton of the freshness, sweetness, and colour equal to the Latest killed ia our butchers' shops. What a subject for scientific men 1 "
