ONE OF MR BUNNY'S MISTAKES.
Mr Bunny, quoting a portion of Mr Buchanan's Featherston speech, stated that he had advocated increasing the customs taxation if retrenchment failed to provide for the deficiency, This assertion is absolutely untrue. Mr Buchanan in his pre-sessional speech of May 21, is reported in our columns to have said, "HE WOULD NOT CONSENT TO AN INCREASE IN THE CUSTOMS." Our contemporary the Star in its report uses the following words:—"He was opposed to any increase of Customs duties." The testimony of both papers is absolutely fatal to the assertion advanced by Mr Bunny.
