Surely a lesson or two in logic would be of advantage to our local contemporary, Because we stated that a certain event had taken place, without mentioning the time or plage, }\o argues that we must have meant that it took place in Wellington, . because he assert that someone concerned in it was: in Wellington at the time. Will he not bo good enough to give an explanation, showing in how far the terms "district judge" and " lawyer" are abusive 1 We applied these epithets to Mr Davy, and were duly takon to task; but in his reply of yesterday j)e conveniently drops that portion of his subject.
