THE MINERS' PETITION AND THE MAYOR.
[to THE EDITOR.] Slr—The answer of his Worship the Mayor to my letter of Saturday is a peculiar mixture;, it commences with “ I neither Know,” and finishes with « I believe.” Now, sir, in my letter o£ Saturday I put a very fair query, and made a distinct charge'. Surely the Mayor coUld have poirit blank denied the Charge, if untrue, and stated Yea of Nay as to receiving a lettef from Warden Stratford. Purely letters dont-.gd astray at KUmara the same as -duth the Board of Education at (ireymouth; His Worship did receive the letter j his Worship did initiate the petition \ hid Worship did know at the time he wrote the letter to you yesterday that he wag only trying to throw dust in the eyed of tile public, in the apostle’s creed; the words “ I believe ” appear somewhat often. If His Worship has beeii reading up the catec'histn lately, let me' impress Upon him to study the ninth commandment, and then the next time he writes to you on this subject perhaps his belief will be nearer the truth; Defective memories are out of date, and at a discount; YieiLANT; March 2fl, 1882.
