evening by Mr Kenrick that he required him [ to proceed to Te Arof a the following roorainjf I to make a post mortem examination of the body of the murdered Maori, and he was going. At this time your reade-e will see that Dr Huxtable had already recei ed the order from the Coroner. He then asked to be excused from attendance at the Court, and as I stated in my previous letter he was informed by me that under the circumstances I could not help bis absence. He then, not I, desired me to see my client with a view to suppressing a certain portion of the complainant's testimony which he said would tend to injure bis practice. I then left bim, promising, if the evidence were gone into, that 1 should tot aafe any questions relative to the matter he referred to. I next proceeded to Grrahauistown, and the conversation before alluded to between Sergeant Major O'Q-rady and myself took place, so that it will be seen that so far from my suggesting Dr Callan was concerned I was not interested in any way in the inquest, and in fuct if I had suggested Dr Callan, to say the least, of it, it would bave been a piece of presumption on my part to interfere with another Coroner, besides having no real object in view. To use Dr Huxtable's elegant phraseology, " The boot is on the other leg," and " falsehood arid meanness " are the prevailing characteristics of his bright and shining epistolary effusion.—l am, &c, G-.
