ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ROBIN.
[per press association.]
"Wellington, This Day. Colonel Penton has received a letter from Brigadier-General Mahon in reference to the strictures upon Colonel Robin contained in a letter written by a Westland trooper. Mahon says that the accusations in the trooper’s letter astonished him. The New Zealand Contingent under Robin has boon serving with him for over three months, and a better lot of officers and men he would never ask for. Robin has several times commanded bis men under fire, under his (Mahon’s) observation, and lias never given any cause for complaint. Mahon has often expressed to Robin and Ms men, his appreciation of the work they have done. Quite recently he selected Robin and 3UO of Ms men for very important duty. Letters of such as that one sent by the West Coast Trooper cannot in Mahon’s opinion hurt Robin, as he holds a very high character with the military authorities in South Africa
