THE TARANAKI BENCH.
TO TUB BDITOB. Sib,— lour leader of yesterday contains an inference, almost amounting to a statement, that Mr Elliot, J.P., of Taranaki, is a relative by marriage to the Penningtons, the chief of the accused parlies in the late prosecution of cattle- stealing at Pungarehn. Such is not the case, as I, who reside in the district, and am acquainted with the parties, can testify. 1 would further state that Mr Elliot has been one of the most active in instituting proceedings against the perpetrators of the late outrages against the Maories. —1 am, Ac., PHILIP WALSH, Curate, Church of St John Baptist, Waitara, Taranaki. Christchurch, Jan. 8. [We made no inference. We only suggested enquiry upon a point which we were informed required clearing up. We are pleased to have it cleared up so soon.— Ed. L.T.'\
