CORRESPONDENCE.
AN EXPLANATION.
[to the editor.]
Sir, —Re the case Messena v. Read, heard at the Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday last. By the report in your paper of Thursday, 20th inst, it would seem as if I had been summoned for arrears of rent, but it was to get possession of the house. This was admitted by Mr Messena in Court. I usually paid my rent fortnightly, and at times monthly, Which was a verbal arrangement between us. The rent was always paid up to tins. Things were not satisfactory this end, and as I took the house from Mr E. A, Coley, in Palmerston, therefore I decided to forward my rent through a solicitor to Mr Coley - in Palmerston, paying up to date (13th January), which was refused by him. Therefore, there were no arrears. I have not refused to give Mr Coley possession of the house, but I have stated that as soon as I can get a house suitable I will give up possession. Mr Messena is aware there are no such houses vacant at present in Foxton. Asking you to kindly publish this explanation, I am, etc., S. Read.
