To the Editor of the New-Zealander. Sir, — In the delightful rechcuffce of stale slanders with which the Cross has treated its readers this morning, I miss one spicy ingredient. It was a few months since deliberately asserted, in the leading article, that Sir George Grey had burned down the Government House in which he resided, in order that he might “steal the seat of government” and carry it to Wellington.' ‘ Permit me, Sir, to remind your respectable contemporary of this omission. Consistency is a very great virtue, and, having once deliberately made this charge—even though he may now be convinced that it is not exactly true, —he is bound, ae- ; cording to the doctrine,,which. he preaches to the 520, not to ack nowlertge that’he was in error. -.i*.- • — r-: A Town Settler, .
