SUNDAY LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—"T. B. Hannaford " wants hiajfricncla to know that he is not the sneak who'ofl'ered to plant the police on Sunday trading in hotels. I want my friends to know that if I sec a man picking another man's pocket T should certainly " inform;" and may I ask 'T.8.H." the difference between a publican breaking the law (to the detriment of thoso who keep il) and one man robbing another If "T. 8.11." knows of a case of Sunday trading and does not inform, he neglects his duty, and docs an injury to the " trade." Wo honest man need fear the police. The only persons are those guilty of breaking the law. Of course there is a vast difference between giving false evidence to get a conviction, and civing a true account of what really did occur, and I understand the feeling that is abroad that the police arc a paid body to look after the?e matters and private individuals need not interfere' but I do condemn the cry that it is wrong to fct a trap for the publican who is known to break the law, while it is right for the publican who set the trap that convicted Wm. Kowe.—l am, &c, One Who Tkies to Keep tiie Law,

A PUBLICAN IN REPLY.

(To tfac Editor.)' Sm,-ln reply to the letters of '■" T.B.H. ; who informs us that he has been a flunkey and as such lie is in a position to judge the actions of publicans, sir, I believe " T.8.H." haa spoken the truth. One may easily judge so by his letter; and since heis'jso well up and acquainted with Licensed Victuallers, let me enumerate a few of their tyrannical oppressions and grievances. We Ayill begin with the Auckland publican's license—a piece ot unjust tyranny to make him pay £50, while in any other part of the colony the license is £25 and £30. Can it be called anything else than an abominable tyranny. Then we will ask "T.8.H, " what he calls the compulsory lighting •up of the streets of Auckland by publicans, although. they, like other citizens, pay gas rates. Is not that unjustifiable tyrauny ? And if pub licans appeal to Parliament they are told the City Council has the power to cancel the said lighting, if the publicans appeal to the City Council they are informed they must appeal to Parliament—no redress, rank tyranny. I must also remark that this year the poor oppressed publican has been charged 13 shillings for Court fees, which means for the liberty of paying the aforesaid £50 for license. Is not that, "T. U. 11.," still further extoriion. It looks as though they have not the pluck to say " We desire the business of the publican should.cease (o exist," but that in a mean manner they wish to grind, or rather draw, from the barrel the last sixpence. Then, the Government has still further increased the duty on spirits, and are about to commit another piece of unjustness by making publicans pay duty on cases of spirits whether they contain two gallons or not. I ask "T.8.H." if the Government would dare commit such unjust acts on any clasa of tradespeople. Wo, they would not, but these people are treated as slaves. They have appealed to Parliament for years —a good many years—to obtain redress ot niievanccs, and to get a fair reasonable, aiid ju^t Licensing Act. There is the great secret, why, &c. " T.8.H.", give the work ing class their right to purchase a pint of beer on a Sunday at certain hours—dinner and supper time, and all detire to get drunk and be going from house to house will cease. "T.8.H.", I have not half done my list of grievances, and must return to the charge another time.—l am, &c, Freedom. Grey-street.

THE NEW SEWAGE WORKS.

Sir,—Too many of the grand schemes of mir great authorities come to agreement at last on those two ugly points—evident failure and great costs—and itistobe fearedanother of that sort is coming on if the people can be blinded. Respecting this sewage question, it is well known that nine-tenths of the evil connected with sewage may be annihilated at ils source with but little trouble. .The principle only needs introducing on. some handy systenijandauthoritivelycarrying out to be acceptable to everybody. Vet Mr Clark (as appears) to bolster up and prove the necessity of his grand schemes—totally ignoring this fact—actually asserts that the ground of Auckland (ground which has only been occupied some thirty years by a few hundred people) "is already under going a general process of soak age, ■which," he, says, "if not arrested by draining, will change the favourable rate of mortality into one of.ser ious character . . . "and which rate" is already 50 per cent, in excess over the colony in general. . . . Zymotic diseases, carrying off one third &c, . . deaths doe to preventable causes," so he says, and we poor devils are to believe, if they are not quickly arrested by such. as his " necessary, &c.,&c.," we are all dead men. I turn back in haste to find, if I can, the first cause of all these impending calami ties, and lo! (oh! Lunatic Asylums) it is, he tells us "the holes in the ground." So ! all I need say, ia, if there is a fraction of truth in these assertions, it is quite im possible that London could be in existence —nay, she could not have existed any time this last 500 years past, or more; for: till very lately London never had—for that matter—anything else but "the holes in the ground." I can well remember the time when water-closets (turned into the drain) were quite as scarce in London as they are here. But London was pretty lively, and tolerably healthy too, at that time (60 or 70 years ago). What, then ? (pray tell us) what means tbe Londoner/a had to save themselves from dying off wholesale on that poisoned ground. "The saturated subsoil/1 and "the soakage, &c," that had beon going on during the past (not 30 or-40 years only but) 1000 or perhaps 2000 years; Lon don, too, with its millions closely packed, —also in the same ground too bnryiDg'its dead in and all around it in its thousand churchyards—and drinking the water in most cases from its own wells (by prefer ence). All this I assert of my own pfcr sonal knowledge. What other panaca then did save them from MrClark's dreaded evils! I know of none but the despised " Holes in the ground," (and really and truly the best of all, it is made to fulfil that purpose, and which it alone can do— peoplecan talk of poisoning the ground, but it cannot be done with reason, nor yet almost out; of reason, as al) time past proves), still they ought to be properly managed, and I admit they never have been. But let us come to a point. Give us the health rate of those fearful times in London 70 or SO years ago, when they had nothing better than "Holes in the ground " (and with all their careless management) also the health rate during the improved period after, when the water-closets were turned into the drains. I could stake my existence from personal knowledge and well-ballanccd reasons, that lhe difference is small, or none; and if the many other causes giving better health to the people (as better food and clothing, cleaner personal habits, cleaner houses, and, most of all, the surface cleaning of the streets, alleys, and back yards) if they could he truly portioned to what belongs to them, we should find the " water-closet improvement:' considerably on the wrong side. If you please (all's well) I will shortly give you a plan that I think may be made to fulfil the following conditions ; that is, if you will promise to review its errors or prove its impossibility, which I promise you may do in few words if you can do it at all. Conditions :—(1) The closet itself may always be free from taint. (2) The matter easily removable by daylight with out annoyance. (3)« No nuisance in carry ing away. (4) No nuisance at'place of deposit. (5) Will be of considerable value; being in tho best state for immediate use, (6) Will not cost as much as the beastly, awkward, and never ending poisonous, and idiotic system now in use.—l am, &c, Mechanic.
