CORRESPONDENCE.
*** We are desirous of affording every reasonable facility for the discussion of public subjects; but it must be understood tbat we are in no way reßponsible for the opinions expressed by correspondents. To the Editor of the Nelson Evening Mail. Sir — I saw by your last night's Mail that Mr. Huddleston has turned out some hares at Stoke. I wish to inform you that one of them had a very narrow escape of its life, as it was captured within an hour of its being turned out, in a field of turnips belonging to Mr. Bout by a young man working on his farm, he mistaking it lor a rabbit, and had it not been for another man who knew it to be a hare, it would have been killed. However, the young man took it home to show it to his father, and ask his opinion of the stranger, and, in all probability, it is liberated by this time. I think there should have been some notice given to the Stoke Farmers' Club before they were liberated, as they might have received some protection from that body. I am, &c, Alfred Harley.
