CORRESPONDENCE.
FISJH AISD FOWL.
(to thk editor of the standard.) Sir,— l see that the other Paimereton paper occasionally makes reference to private meetings of creditors. Js this fair or prbpelr? II so, how js it that when a certain business man iv Manawatu made private arrangements with his creditor^ 'some iponßideraWe time ago, .afjreeinsj to pay I think 7a i 6d m the £,m periods extending over eighteen months, the public were not enlightened. If an unfortunate nbwwccumbs and con* venes a private meeting ol his creditors the fact is published m the Presß. I don'C think this is right. All should be treated alikeibeiboy large or small. Why make a distinction between the n?an who owes thousands and the one who owes a Hwtsh smaller amount, but who may be equally honest and straightforward, or perhaps more so, than the larger dealer. In the one case the thing is made public," and m the other kept m the dark. If I had a newspaper, I should not make fish of one and fowl of another. —I am, &c, Faie Plat, Boknt Play.
