He is unable, therefore, to account for anyone saying that all information required has tq bs seat for to Auckland, or that there are no- means ot obtaining it at Gisborne. I ata of optaion that Editor* should see that their aeioraaM are based on facts before blindly publishing statements which are untrue. Information given in a newspaper should be sifted before It is inserted.—l am, etc., One who is urrsMWUD.
