WILLIAM DALE.
LETTER FROM
Rumour was very busy in town this morning, with Mr. W- Dale’s name, it! being stated that he had been heard from, that his whereabouts was known, and that he had.Le.en caught. Of course; ?fhinge| grp wj b?P e l;i tiop,|a nd i„whi I e|i t; is true therefore that a letter has been? received in town, it is untrue that any-; thing further is known of his movement,; and we:might almost add not-likely tobe known. The letter is addressed to his brother Clarence, ; and is dated Sydney, April 20, the postmark bearing date three days later. The substance of the communication is that lie was very sorry for his bondsmen, but that he was obliged to go away he ho might bo imprisoned, and he was certain he conhP never have stood the disgrace of the hard labour gang in Taranaki even for six months. He hoped some day. in the future to put his bondsmen right. He had £27 when he left Waitara. The letter says that long before this reaches yon I shall be far away from from Sydney, and, adds the writer, I nerer expect to seefNevr Zealand again.” The rest; of the communication . is'of a brotherly; nature, and is .couched in affectionate terms. Wo suppose‘we have seen the last of W. D., but- in the minds of many he will be “ Though lost to sight, to memory dear.”
