Mr Wright's Complaint.

AND oUK COKE-SL'OXDENTS KEI'LY.

Ke-ai.liu- Mr A. I'. Wright's letter in Friday's " Tines'" in connection with the l\itiiotic Fund our Mauku correspondent Mr Melvi 11 Crisnp iu forms us that neither Mr Wright's n>r his father's name apipais o:i the list suju'iii'l him by Mr 11. E. 1\ E. Wily 1r mu w 11i• h his report was named. lie aNo adds that he understand* iruiu Mr Wilv that 1 n»th names aj>j> ar »u the original list but that in copying tiie lists fur the correspondent tlh' two names mentioned had been inadvertently omitted.

Tii" di -i repencies in the totals are accounted for from (lie fact that whilst tlie tut ii i> right Mr A. K. Wright's donation m !'■> was omitted from tip' lis- supplied. . Even a» th ; 1 time of writiiiLr our

lugaiding the statement that name) appear in lirst collection w Inch includes some donations that weie not collected or promised at 1110 lirst meeting, our correspondent was not at this meeting and relied oil the iutoruiation supplied him hy Mr Wily a- Icing correct.

Tic Mauku "Herald" corrcspundent also writes' to say that lie did not supply the item complained of in t'c " Herald ' of Augunt loth. [We have been quite aatislisd j throujnut that ro charge of unfair i nth 3 could tie -ii t.ii'i'd against cur' correspondent. lh.it was the reason why we preferred to allow the truth to come out hf.tore replying to Mr Wright's suggestions. We under- | stand that Mr Wily says the mi-take was clue to an error in copying, and that it was not done to trap (lie " li'ii.'s" so as ii Inn;; it in'o disrepute, or to slight the Mc-srs Wright. We accept that slatemerit and trust that Mr \Vji klll can do I lie same. 111 I
