TO THIS EDITOE.
.' Sib,*—Under the above heading, I noticed V.j letter signed "Tapanui," in, which.he states.' that those engaged in the liquor traffic do not j hesitate to employ any means by which siiccses I can be secured and the ends of justice defeated, f Two blacks do not make a wnite, but I _S*k:*j: your correspondent " Tapanui" if ifc is not* a fact that the prohibitionists are doing the very same thing. They encourage informers $o;go" aud endeavour to make people bre»k the law, simply to get their own ends satisfied. When it can be snown by proof thatVa man or woman obtains liquor Irom any unlicensed person they ought to .bs punished as well as the seller. It is simply nothing more, than aiding and abetting, or in othor words endeavouring to make a man break the law, which is against* > fche law to do so. Let your correspondent.J "Tapanui" read and inwardly digest'these j facts,. He can't be so ignorant as not ta believe j what is sauce for tho goose is sauce for I*he J gander.—l atn, &c,' j Duuedin, September 3. No Hombto. [
