THE PRIVILEGE OF THE PRESS.
To the Editor Sib,—The favor of a reply to the following questions will greatly oblige :—How far is the personal honor and integrity of the editor of a newspaper at stake when in the performance of his professional duties 1 Can he, for, instance, for the sake of his party, state what he knows to be false without being personally tainted thereby ? I am induced to ask these questions owing to a series of leading articles which havo lately appeared in your morning contemporary, the ' Guardian.' Referring to the one in this morning's iisue, can anyone, even the most ardent Piovincialist, read it without a sense of »bame, mingled with eontempt, for the author? Again, whence the intense admiration for v ir George Grey, so suddenly felt in Otago ? Whilst pleasant to him it must, I should think, cause him an occasional smile, as I am sure it does in England and elsewhere.—lam, &0., Envies*,
