A Grievance.
[to THE EDITOR.) Sir,—As an example of how a workman taay be treated when he has not got a written agreement I would refer your attention to a case that came on in Court the other dey, Mitchell v. Cameron. I claim that Mt Cameron honestly owed me £l4 odd;' but after waiting about twelve months for my money all I can get judgment for la about £2, Mr Cameron owned to giving a low wage, but it il very hard it a man cannot even obtain that. It seems that a poor man hae no show nowadays unless he either has a written agreement, or has sufficient money by him to supcena his witnesses, who generally have to come from a distance. I consider a great injustice has been done me, and ehall certainly bring the case on again.—l am, Ac., Thos. Mitchell. Waerenga-s-bika, October 2.
