The late ranger, however, accuses me of losing sight of 'the truth, &c. , The other informatiou 'contained m my labt letter respecting the difßcu.!ty^[ of impounding cattle" off the WhafaWiata runy was' obtained from one ' who 'hM bedn a ranger 'for the Newcastle Highway Board, and therefore shoul • TnfyW/' There' was 'no intention -whatever to" reflect Upon the late ranger,' bur. he has evidently constiued my letter into a personal attack upon himself, ; and 'has endeaVbufed 'to repay' me ! in similar coin.—. I am, Your Whatawhata Correspoedent.
