Dear Sir:
Some time ago the Herald" de-
cried Mr., Coulter's maintaining his seat
in the Colonial Council through the fact
that he is in the service of the Govern
merit and his official connections disqual-
fly him as a representative of the people.
We are now convinced that the Herald"
was correct in its position, and after read
ing the minutes of the last meeting of
the Council, in which Mr.. Coulter was
unable to accept election in the Jury
Commission because he is also the She
riff, it is plain that the time has arrived
when the honorable gentleman himself
nust feel that he should vacate his seat
in favor of one less trammeIled.
Yours respectfully
