A CONTRADICTION.
■y OT TPB EI>ITOB. Sißj -»I would wish to draw your attention to the error m the , Manawatu Times of J*uiie the 2nd m an article styled " Larrikin, '* anc* the error yo^ indulgied ' regarding the boy that M.i'7' Ward^senttp^heTrainm^ a fortnight ago; as it was not the fault of his parents that Ije did not tvirnput
such , a good boy as he should have done, as you intimated, throwing a great deal of blame on the parents; and regarding the training you spoke of , he has had a good training from his mother; and as regarding the threats you mentioned, such as "burning down the house" ,and "i-oisoning the pig," they are quite incorrect, as he never made no such threats toy his mother. If you will kindly give this a place m your valuable paper I should feel obliged. — I am, <j_c, Mabtha Ann Haines. Palmerston North, June 7, 1880. [We are much pleased to find that Mrs. Haines can conscientiously acquit herself of the responsibility of her son's delinquencies ; we readily believe her statement, as we are sure the publio will,, but we must there draw the line of our credulity. As the language quoted was sworn to m evidence, Mrs. Haines must excuse us for preferring it to, even her unsupported statement. — En. M,T;J . ■ 777 . " .,. .. ..
