MR GARDENER IN REPLY.

To the Editor. Sik.—Myself and others failing to see how your correspondent " Eyewitness" can .exonerate Mr Eobinson from any , blame in refefence to my brother's accident. Perhaps lie «ill inform us whero ' Mr Bobinson's trap lights were on tha . night ot tho accident, and also how he i justifies Mr Eobinson and the other occupants of tho trap in shouting the way ■ they did which was the direct cause of the accident. He tells the truth in on? instance only in admitting the. mgbt to be ' very dark. I might mention that under : the circumstances it would have looked • more truthful.had " Eyewitness", signed bis own name, as 1 am perfectly aware that the letter- although emanating from Mr' Eobinson was concocted by a well-known [Carterton tradesmen who was .never near "the accident at all. However, '"Eye-. ■ wiineaß" (who evidently .has cat's i.eyes,K will do well to remember the exact part of the , trap or harness which caused the injuries The information may possibly be useful to him at v a f Jture date. He sliows but little ■Riße in accusing my brother and his, friends of furious riding because one of

the horses'feet emitted a spark. Every;

one knows that sparks will flyfronihorsoß 'sM, even when they are walking, In conclusion I wish to assure "Eyewitness'' that I can quite understand , the reason why .Mr Eobinson wishes to be held

blameless. '• - > Apologising for trespassing on your '[valuable space.
