OBSCENE LANGUAGE AT THE PALMERSTON TOWN HALL.
Sin, —Aj the conclusion of Dr Fimllay's a<!<lr»fs at the Town Hall on Wednesday evening he. was entertained ;it supper by a number of ol<l l'almerston friends. I may eay iliat I was one present at this-function. During Iho tiini' Dr Bislop was speaking there was a terrible commotion outside, and tb« door hsd to Ik l closed. The language' that was used was something disgraceful. A good many ill the room heard' the filthy' expression.! very distinctly, and t am sure the Indies must have heard them iko. I think it, hardly right that the offenders should go without lx;ing punished, morcso when surli tilthy language! was tiwd. It was rumoured on Thursday morning that the otf<udejs were going to be suod, but. so far, I understand, nothing has been done in the matter.—l am, etc., April 26. Disgusted.
