ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the New Zealand Colonist. Sir, —ln your paper of the. 20th inst., I find a letter from Mr. Wade, wherein he has selected my name for the exhibition of his well known inventive powers, and Has wittingly or unwittingly propagated a gross untruth, in accusing me with having bribed Messrs. Box or Palmer. To refute this absurd . charge’, I need simply state, that I have never spoken to those persons on any subject whatever. I cannot, of course, make any direct reference to the brace of
“ Airy visions,” with whom, Mr. Wade states, I had conference at the residence of Mr. Box. I have no doubt, however, Mr. Wade will find it quite as easy, in the course of his diurnal peregrinations up the beach, “ To give them a local habitation and a name,” as he has done those already alluded to, and with equal adherence to truth. In the .mean time, I leave Mr. Wade to his lucubrations, and wish him better success in the next mare’s nest, he discovers. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, • N. LEVIN.
