AN ABSOLUTE DISCLAIMER.
To the Editor. Sir—Allow me to repudiate the following mendacious extract copied into your last issue from the Wellington Independent. “ it is no fiction that the stream of immigiationto Otago was most seriously checked hy the mendacious letters sent home by such characters as J. G. S. Grant, and others.” Now, sir, in justice even to a foe, you will, I have no doubt, permit me to say decisively, that I never sent home even one letter about Otago. The above extract is wickedly mendacious, and therefore, in the interests of truth, and out of regard to my own character -which I will defend with my latest breath against slanderers—l hereby solemnly fling that fowl aspersion in the teeth of the Wellington. 1 adependent Whatever else I may he guilty of, I am innocent of stabbing men or communities in the dark. I am Sir, Yours obediently, J. G. S. Grant.
