The Charges Against Colonel Robin.
Wellington, Jan, 17
Colonel Pan ton has received a letter from Briganier-General Mahon, in reference to the strictures upon Colonel Kobin, contained in a letter written by a Westland trooper.
General Mahon says that the accusations in the trooper's letter astonished him. The New Zealand Contingent, under Colonel Robin, has been serving with him for over three months, and a better lot of officers and men he would never ask for. G olonel Robin had several times commanded his men under tire under his (Mahon’s) observation, and had never given any cause for complaint. General Mahon has aften expressed to Colonel Robin and his men his appreciation of tbe work they have done. Quite recently ha selected Colonel Robin and 300 of his men for a very important duty.
Letters such as the oue sent by the West Coast trooper cannot, in his opinion, hurt Colonel Robin, as he liui.ls a very high character with the military authorities in South Africa.
