COMPLAINT FROM TARARU.

(To tbe: Editor.) Sir, —iWe thank you for insertion of my letter (and also in anticipation for your kind insertion may be of this also). It has done good apparently, for on, Tuesday 'between Tararu Creek and the town, there* was not a. single straying animiaJl, whilst! on Monday one oou'ldi have counted a swe. But the question remains: Why is j no. law applied to* straying cattle— and shooting—'between Tarairu Cresk and the Fishing; Rooks., (Rooky Poiut, where the Borough boundary ends? Ota, Tuesday; miorning there were about a dozen, young cattle just where the road! goes -up to the Cemetery, amdl a little damage was dene to my fence iby their gettinig at a." within they could reach,; while in I the hollow in approach to 1 bridge : there was; tihei noted "blue" cow. j Some horses are pairticularly nervous 'in crossing; & bridge, and it would startle one to suddenly come upon a moving thing just where that cow was. I iKeoird; shots on the hill for three days before Ist Miay; whilat .om the broad road ■between 1 Tar.wii I Oreeik and) the town,, there were r.o . straying cattle, yet they continue on I the narrow road on seawall to end of 'borough. Their owners say they , have "plenty" of their own freehold : landL Tour paragraph on delay of : publication of poll has apparently led :to request for returning officer's explanation. It was a pity that an- , other*'blunder was not commnitted in the piKbliciation on the doors of the Miners' Union, flsll, by adding Miother stroke to the letter "n,,' aiio then we should hay« ;hadl comic instead of "Maeionici Hall." Attention of authority concerned, by your kind insertion of this, mlay 'be. drawn, a,nd j laws equalliy aipplied throughout thf : Borough, that this danger on the j highway, and particularly such a j highway, to the public and annoyance of visitors to the 1 cemetery shall 'cease. Within a few yards of the 'blue' cow by the bridge the owner's • son stopped me to 'be careful what I \ put in the paper. I a;ssure you 1 in ' every way I try to be* careful, but. we ! want to grow our potatoes, and we !do not want oui J fence®, fruit treea, ■ and gardens despoiled by or through Lour neighbours as in. the present tfiroumßtances.—iWe are still, sir, AGGRIEVED THESE TWO YEIASS.
