A DENIAL.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sib, —In reference to a letter in your paper of to-day’s date, signed Chas. H. Ellaby, I have to make a few remarks. Ist. There was no disorderly crowd at the bar; four or five respectable settlers were thereat the time mentioned, i.e., the arrival of the 'bus, which has always stopped at my hotel for years past, that being the custom of tho driver.
2nd. No person was intoxicated at the time in the slightest degree. 3rd. As Mr. Ellaby has called my old and well-known hotel by the name of a low pothouse, I can only request him to make a few more inquiries about the matter, to enable him to apeak with that courtesy and truth which such a grave charge warrants. I leave the inquiries to bo made to the whole of the inhabitants of tho Taita and its vicinity as to the respectability of my house and the way I conduct it.—l am, &c.,
Jno. A. Williams. Taita, Monday, February 17.
