A GOOD EXAMPLE.

TO THE EDITOB OP THE N. Z. TABLET.

Dear Sir,' — About two years ago I had the pleasure of transferring my five shares in the N.Z. Tablet Company to his Lordship the Right Rev. Dr. Moran. I also called upon several of the other shareholders in this city and asked them to do the same, and they did so promptly and willingly. We surrendered our shares to his Lordship as a mark of our great esteem for him and to assist in purchasing a plant, &c, for the paper, and we bad no doubt but that all the shareholders would do as we did. For until the Tablet has a plant of its own, it never can be established on a firm basis. The Tablet has ably defended us against the many false accusations that have been brought against our religion and our country ; it has fearlessly exposed to the world the grievous injustice that is being done us in withholding from us our share of the money voted for educational purposes. It is therefore worthy of the earnest support of every true Irishman in this country. A more suitable opportunity cannot occur, for all who have not *^tr l anßf erred their shares, than his Lordship's return from hia visit to our Holy Father. By offering their shares to his Lordship, they a lasting proof of their affection for him. I have sufficient confidence in my countrymen to believe that not even one will refuie to do co. — I am, &c, J. O'Brien. Wellington, Feb. 4, 1882.
