The " Wananga " to-day contains an apology in Maori to Major Mair for a libel against him in a letter published in that paper. The " Wananga" does not give the English version of the apology, but the following is a co> rect translation: —"Notice to all the world. This is a notice to all tribes and all people of the world. It is all false and slanderous words of the letter of ' Te Arawa Katoa ' which were published in ' Wananga,' vol. 5, No. 27, page 342, speaking of Mr Mair and his family, whom we have known over thirty years, and have neither seen, known, or heard anything wrong of them all those years down to the present time. The word* of teat letter, of 'Te Arawa Katoa,' are perfectly false and without any foundation, for we know that they (the Mairs) are descended from respectable people, and have been hold high positions all the days and years they have been in the island. They cannot be accused by anyone of having done any wrong whatever. We are very sorry indeed that those lying accusations should have been published in ' Wananga ' by mistake. —Editor ' Wananga.'
