THE WAINUIOMATA CASE.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —My attention having been called to a paragraph in to-night’s Chronicle respecting the alleged ill-treatment and confinement in a small room for 25 years of a Miss Wood by her brosher, at Walnuiomata, £ may just state that the reverse is the case. I have known Mr. Wood for the last ten years, and a kinderhearted or more honorable man is not in New Zealand. It is a most unmanly thing to publish such a cruel report, and if the writer of it had taken the trouble to make inquiries he would never have written it. The insinuation that a question as to the property would cause Mr. Wood to do such an act is so utterly preposterous that no m >re need be said abou". it. I might easily state a few facts that would convince you that that the Chronicle's report U in the main false, but as there is to be an inquiry into the matter I need not trouble you I am only sorry that such a cruel mistatement of the facts should have been published, thereby wounding the feelings of a man whom I am proud to call a friend. —X am, &c M John Mowleji. Wellington, November 12.
