The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1885. THE SUTTON CASE.

Mr Sutton might well exclaim, " Save 1110 fiom my friends," for since the report of Mr Davy on the recent inquiry has been made public, lie has been made to do duty for all sorts of things, He will, however, be pleased to notice that a side issue has arisen which is likely to afford him time for a little rest, When the report canto before them, our local contemporary and his evening friend in Wellington seized on it with avidity, and having made the black appear white, and the white black, exclaimed, " 0 righteous judge" until the said righteous found it necessary to explain thkt he was nude to Bay things he never even dreamed of, and which never came up before him at all during the inquiry. He addressed a note to Mr Buchanan to that effect,'and Mr Buchanan having published it, the meaning was straightway perverted by the section of the Press allude to, so that he found it necessary to., make a further explanation, which he also addressed to, Mr

Buchanan, and which, us a mutter of course, duly appeared in print. The aforesaid evening friend in Wellkigtoii, even without seeing tile jaeoond note, suddenly forgot timt it had bespattered Mr Dayy with praise $1 he gut sick of it, and now treats hiiu ffii if he vftre a little school-boy who soss his business, also forgetting that eaok word of abuse now htteced ia aa indirect admission thaMn his eyes tbo report has lost its valiij), It fyllow, as a matter of course, *hat tlio now sontiments will lm echoed \>y our local contemporary, to whopi Mr Davy's disclaimer must be as distasteful as to his friend. For enr own part fre have already expressed oitrsnl-ves ty the effect' tliuG we could not appwre of the report,'because'Mr Davy had come to an erroneous 'conclusion through excluding certain evidence; we are not, however, of opinion tbatjiw mouth should lie shut- to sach an extent as to prevent liijn uttering a mild pretest against him being tnmie to qjiy tilings that never even occurred to Mm, and that could not ocou# to because they were not brought up In eridfe'nce.
