CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor of the "Evening. Mail."

Sir,— ln to-day's paper I sea there haa been a oharge brought against a Mr Alexander, of Motuoka, for having put some fowls in too small a coop, Now it Beams to me tbe accused and others tha. havo boen brought up oo a similar charge have great oause for complaint, Altliough tho question was do. asked by Mr Alexander, it was by Mr Fairey, of Brightwater, whan he waa brought up before the Bench. It Wf_ thie, what is the correot size for tbe coopa to be ? A simple question I think. Bat they couldn't or wouldn't answer i. except by telling Ihom they must nso their own judgeI m*nt which thoy go and do and are fined again for their trouble, Now, Mr Editor, what is the nvaoiog of all this humbug? If thoy could nob tell thorn tho. _ ; z) tho fir&t time they ought ati aer _-ay | oen able io gain 90 uie moro knowledge by the time the second case cam? on. And then Constable Phair spying the fowls had no Water in the ooops* such stuff and nonsense I never hoard. Now' would tho intelligent officer kindly suggeat comß way of mauaging it co that ouch fowl will havo full access to tha water, Would he h .ye o_o large a .ucsr or a little mug for eaoh fowl, and would he undertake to fill them when empty at the Port ? if so I'll forgive him. And if you, Mr E litor and others who understand fowls will kindly give their opinions upon the subject so that tbe town of Nelaon may not be so disgraced by having such accusations brougbt agai.st them, and although I am not a storekeeper I am vary niuob interested in tho subjeot nnd would like a littlo moro justice administered, for wo aro very much indebted to them' without knowing it .omotimes. lain,_c l) Fair Play. Brightwater, October 12, 1888.
