THE " POST" APOLOGISES.
WELLINGTON, October 25. The " Evening Post" to-night says: • —" We have to-day been served with a writ at. the suit of Sir Joseph Ward, clliming tlio jura of £5000 damages. This we 'have handed to our solicitors in the ordinary course. The matter of which the plaintiff complains appeared in our advertising columns, and, of course, we had no pant in its prepara-" t'ion. But we desire at one© and. before any communication takes place between our legal advisers and those of the plaintiff, to admit in the fullest terms that if due care had been exercised by us the advertisement would not have appeared, and that its publication can neither be justified or excused, and without regard to the result of the legal proceed- ; ings, we express to Sir Joseph Ward our unqualified regret that such imputa-ti-eife! should have found a place in our coluimns. As we have made clear, the matter -complained, of was contained in Saifladyeritisemerit, and has no relation to editorial comment, which, as our reade<ns are aware, the "Post" is wont to justify.
