TRAMWAY PETITION.
(To the Editor of tlio Herald.) Sir, —As I am leaving for Dunedin today and will Ee unable to give evidence at the ■forthcoming commission in connection with the tramway poll, .1 would like, through your columns, to give an emphatic denial to the statement made in the petition that 1 was ordered to leave a polling l booth. Neither my language nor my conduct have ever made it necessary for me to be ordered out of any building, and (here was never any .suggestion that 1 should he ordered out of the polling booth. The Tacts are that in the booth I spoke to a. friend, and was told by one of the officers that speaking in the booth was prohibited. I expressed regret for having spoken, and there the matter ended.—l am, etc., T. E. TONEYCLIFFI*:.
