A PROTEST.
(To tbo Editor "HT.Z. Times.”) Sir, —Will you allow me to protest in the strongest manner possible against the action of r, J. S. Palmer, licensee of the Edinburgh Castle Hotel, Auckland/' in seeking to score a point for the liquor traffic by dragging in the Invercargill tragedy. Surely, sir, while the unfortunate mother and little ones wore clinging to life by the merest thread, and when loved ones would be watching at their bedside with heartrending agony, their case could very well have been left out of the drink controversy. Mr Palmer might have waited, at least, until the inquest was over. His hasty conduct is a brutal exhibition of bad taste.—l: am, etc., ANTI-GHOUL, April 11th.
