IS IT FAVOURITISM?

(To th© Editor.) / Sir. — I" am asking you r a question which as the leader of public opinion, and as your paper is widely read, you or some of your* subscribers may help to solve. Yesterday tho Inspector of Noxious Weeds hauled me before the| Resident Magistrate for having blackberry growing on my leasehold on the Frankloy Road. Now, Sir,, why should the Inspector make an example of me, an old resident of twenty-one years and a cripple at that. Any person travelling along the Frankley road can sco plenty of noxious weeds growing on other places than mine. Then why, sir, should he show favouritism and allow others who are worao aggressors than myself to go ffoo?" If you ran show mo why I should be made the scapegoat for 'others. . Perhaps the reason is because 1 am poor. — I am, etc.. W. BEALS.
