RESIDENT MAGISTRATES COURT.
(T# TIIE EDITOR OF THE WAIPAWA MAIL.) Sir, —Ecclesiastically and clasically speaking, I have been “ hauled over the coals ” by “ Woke ’em Up ” (a corre»p pondent in your last issue). Surely lam not responsible for a party to a Court case, not being clear whether he was a plaintiff or a defendant. I have no knowledge of the particular transformation scene alluded to. If “Woke ’em Up” will state his case and give the names of the parties who personified the exchange, I will, with pleasure,, render him any explanation which may “ Woke ’em Up ” on the subject. Memo.—lf you are a good man, Mr Editor, you will find a slang dictionary peculiarly helpful in construing the vernacular of high class oratory in Waipawa. Yours, &c., HENRY ARROW.
