PROGRESS LEGISLATIOM.

To the Editor of the Nkw-Zealandeb. Sir, — Ifsoe that the Author of the celebrated address to the e'eetors of die Suburbs which, for its violation of the common rules of Grammar as well as for its intense absurdity, has been universally p onounced to be unique, has set to himself the task of regulating the medical profession and of laying down law for gentlemen of education, talent and sense. I rejoice that the incongruity of any interference in such a matter by Mr. Brodie was so sensibly f'ylt by the Counc l that not one man could be found to countenance him by voting for his motion. The Masters and Servants Act introduced by the same hon. member has some of bis peculiar marks in its construction but at the same time has so evidently the impress of the magisterial and dictatorial style of a member of the Progress Executive, that there can be no mistake as to its paternity ; poor Mr. Brodie is the cat’s paw. The Provincial Sccre ary does not dare to expose the “ Government” to the odium of directly originating the most atrocious tyrannica’, and utterly Algerine attempt to abridge the liberty of individuals of the—“ aw—working class —hw haw !”—of which I have ever heard. 1 am, Sir, A Master.
