CORRESPONDENCE.

THE NELSON "EXAMINER" CORRESPONDENT. TO THE EDITOR Off THE " WKST COAST TIMES." Sir, — Permit mo to call your attention to the mendacious letters from " Our own Correspondent," published in tho "Nelson Examiner' 1 of tho 11th instant, in reference to tho recont public meetings held in Hokitika, in which ho describes in effect all opponents to tho Christchuroh.Govermont and men, as howling rowdy jackasses, stump orators, &o. The object of this letter is to ask you if you can publish the name of this able fabricator of Hokitika news for the Nelson papers. I have made several enquiries, and one knowing acquaintance informed me, sub rosa, that " Our own Correspondent" is now occupying a petty billet in the Government Camp. Air Editor, will you kindly inform us if such bo tho case. — I am, &0., Miners' Rioht. [We presume that our correspondent must bo mistaken in his conjecture The General Government have issued a very stringent prohibition against nny of the publio servants of whatever grade, writing in the papers, except on matters of science under their proper signature. Besides there are considerations of taste. Tho hypothesis of " Miner's Right" is manifest absurdity. — Ed. W. 0. T.]
