Mr Sheehan's Veracity.
The Thames Advertiser publishes a letter written by Mr Mills, M.P., in, reply to a long communication sent to the papers a long while ago by "Mr Sheeiian. wbich excited much attention and comment at the time. Ulr Mills writes: — "I am much obliged to you for sending me the newspaper. " 1 had already received several copies of other papers, uiving Sheehan's letters and comments thereon. I need hardly say that all his personalises are beneath my notice, and all the 'facts' are lies. 1 never travelled anywhere at his expense, aDd never partook of even a bit of his* providing. The only occasion on which I had the misfortune to travel with him was in a public conveyance, paying my own fare, from Ohiuemutu to a tangi at Ngae, and there saw him making some seven or eight Maori women drunk with whisky. They were dancing round him, and he was talking to them in Maori. Atterwards, on our return home, he packed the inside ot the coach with Maori girls, with whom he seemed to be on very familiar terms. J was myself on the box, and, fortunately tor me, saw nothing of the man afterwards."
