PENNY-A-LINING.
To the Editor,
Sir,—Pwpl# may be found here to encourage sensational literature, but I don’t think anyone' will tolerate the style of journalism which • “local*' in one of this morning’s papers is e sample of. With a statement of facts there can be no_ complaint, bat when a reporter or penny-a-liner throws these overboard, and almost wholly relies upon his imagination, he cannot be too sfcrongly censured. Yesterday a great misfortune overtook a resident in this town—a very worthy and honest man ; and judge of my surprise to find the oiroamstanoe recorded in so incorrect and coarse a mannw as to cause the (greatest pain to his relatives and numerous friends. I trust, sir, for the credit of the Press, such things are not countenanced by the conductors of the journal in question.—l am, &0., _ A|Mak. Dunedin, April 15.j
