MR SCHOLES AND THE DAIRY COMPANY'S MEETING.

The Euitcr. \ Sir, I greatly fear Mr Scholes has caught tbe prevailing Maori epidemic; at any rate he has broken oat in so many new places that one is at a loss to know what his trouble really is. I must decline, however, to follow Mr Scholes in his rambiings as I have no intention of making the business of the comps'.jy the subject of a newspaper due! with filr Scholes or anyone else. Be ;s a shareholder, and, as euch, he has bis constitutional remedv, and ii he choose to avail Lim--Belf of"it, I shall at the proper time and place be prepared with a full and complete answer in regard to the company's business in every respect; also as to my actions, whether as a shareholder or as chairman of the meeting. Let me further assure Mr Scholes that,- notwithstanding his very kind "and generous innuendo it will be straight irom the shoulder with no beating about the bush. The only point I consider worthy of a reply in" Mr Schoks' last letter is his attempt to throw the onus of proof in regard to Green and Colebrook s Ltd., connection witn trie company on myself I am not quite such a chicken however as to walk into his little trap. Mr Scholes made the statement. I gave it an emphatic denial. J. have seen ihe documents and signed them: Mr •jteoles has done neither. Let him his statement or else admit a man he has made a mistake. Mr Scholes closes his letter with the statement thai hi; letter of the loth was founded on facts. Well tt may have been; so have some of the wildest fictions ever penned, but fortunately such productions are never taken seriously outside the children's nursery.— I am etc., JAMES BODDIE.
