ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.
TO THE EDITOR 0,3? THE OAMARU MAIL. Sir, —I see in your report of the proceedings of the Licensing Court yesterday, in reference to my case, that Mr, O'Meagher replied at some length, and referred to the fact that both the applicant and his wife had been fined for sly grog-selling. X tell you it is not a fact; it is a downright lie, I never was fined in my life for sly grog-selling. But this is not the first time you have published what was not true to try to hurt my character. There is a great difference between being prosecuted and being fined, as I think you ought to know by experience. What I and others heard Mr. O'Meagher say was that both had been prosecuted for sly grog-selling. By rectifying your mistake, you will oblige.—l am, &c., War. Shaw.
