THE MORVEN MEETING.

TO 'XHi BDITOE. - Bib,—ln your issue of Saturday lank vou have given a graphic account of a - - * ' , '.,

the forming of a separate county, one Oorrigan being voted chairman pro tern. His allusions to me in my capacity of county ranger are both untruthful and misleading, doing me very much injustice. '• The widow;, and her-oow "he cites I most emphati caliy declare I have favoured not once but many times, and as to my overlooking Mr Douglas or any other councillor's stock found wandering on the public roads by me, I defy Corrigan or anyone else -who may 'attempt to: impeach me with showing favour. I have been employed by the Waimate County Council for over eight years as ranger, etc, and it has always been my object never to be too severe on anyone, often to my own loss. With reference to sheep being driven On the roads whilst in charge of men and dogs,'l consider that my position does not uphold my interfering in such cases; at all events, the Impounding Act does not.warrant my doing so. Reverting to the " widow," for the information of those concerned she is a married woiiiau, having a fullfledged husband, and neither she nor he has as much laud as would graze a goat. The children go to school, and I have never found them in charge of tha cow. By inserting the above : you will oblige -I am, etc-, ; E. T, George, Countv Ranger.
