f. Our local coiitnmporary referring to the Macqiiarie—Hawkins episode at the late County meeting says: "In tho courso of the. remarks that were made,referonce was repeatedly directed to a report that had appeared in.the "Press," the accuracy of which was denied by Cr Hawkins. Nowthe;"Press" is a'geneal term, and Ave'think; Mr Macquario will agree on reflection ..that'he should have specified the nowspaper in which the. report appeared, instead of leaving members and readers in the dark as. to.what portion of the.''Press" ho was referring to," Why .does not. our contemporary at once state that the reference made by Cr Hawkins was to the WAiitAKArA Daily. Our contemporary is.probably aware 1 that as he had no reporter at the meeting referred to, he,could not very well be charged .wjth.inacouracy..'.;:/Our own report was, i-we-:;are, assured,: 1 a fair and impartial record pfiwhat transpired on the occasion.
