Mr F, T. Redman has written to the Pahiatua paper with roferenoe to the statement recently made in our columns that ho was himself to blame for his present position with regard to the Master-ton-Mangahao Special Settlement Association. He says:-" The members perhaps forget that during the progress of the troublesome survey I Boveral times asked for legal help, but that their comniitteo thought their own opinions sufficient. Since judginont was obtained against me by Mr JEllißon for the money due by the Association, I have ston much less of tho members, and perhaps not more than two or three of them are able to say whether or not I have taken advice, As a matter of fact I did take advice and acted upon it, and yet the matter has not been " amicably settled," 1 have not sued one of the members for hiii Bhare of the liability, thua giving all a chance of settling amicably, Perhaps it would have been hotter if I had done so, for the unfortunate bitterness which in many instances has grown out of this trouble-a bitterness which will require years of patience on my part to romove from tho minds of some of my host friends—could not have boen wone if I had sued all those who refused to pay their just shares of tho debt. A majority of the members gave in thoir shares honorably. The fact that 1 have not takon any action at law against'the others should provo that they havejiad amplo opportunity for an amicable settlement, If they are now desirous of so settling, I am prepared to meet them; but whatever is done must be dono at once, as Mr Ellison assures me that he intonds following up his judgraont.
