INFORMATION WANTED.
To the Editor. Sir, —Upon reading the leader in to-day’s * Guardian,’ I was astonished to find the following sentence :—“ In fact they formally deny the allegation and defy the alligator. What can the editor be thinking about to compare his Honor James Macandrew, Superintendent of Otago, to an American crocodile, as the word “alligator” means according to my dictionary? Does the editor mean that his Honor is a “ sc.dy customer,” oris there some hazy idea of a joke about “ crocodile tears ” floating through the editorial cranium ?—I am, &c., Bunyip. Dunedin, May 18.
