THE "STAR" AND MR MACASSEY.
To the Editor . Sir,—Our attention has been called to an article in your issue of the 21st inst., reflecting on the conduct of one Mr Macassey, in connection with the Chinese petition. We feel convinced that, personally, you could never have suspected Mr of the motives there attributed to him, nor can we understand how you can have allowed your pages to be made the vehicle for an attack at once malicious and cowardly. The article in question is undoubtedly libellous, and unless an ample apology is forthwith published in a prominent position in both your issues, it will op an early day be tbe subject of legal proceedings against your paper. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this letter.—We have, Ac., Macassey, Holmes, and Chapman. Dunedin, June 24[We published the article referred to on public grounds; and decline to make the apology asked for.— £d. E. S. ]
