(In continuation of Papers laid before the General Assembly in the Session of 1565.)
PRESENTED TO BOTH HOUSES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, BY COMMAND OF
HIS EXCELLENCY.
WELLINGTON.
1867.
A.—No. 9.
Copy of a Letter from the Hon. J. Eichardson to Mr. Daldt. Sic,— . Wellington, 7th October, 180 G. I have to apologize for not having earlier replied to your letter of the Sth ultimo. I could not during the Session give my thoughts to the subject, and even now write in haste on the eve of my departure for the South. It will bo a subject of regret to me if, in the communication to the House of Representatives to which you refer, I should have so expressed myself as to have caused you injury and disquietude. If I remember rightly, the name of the firm referred to was urgently called for by the House —I think from the Auckland benches ; and subsequently I think one of those gentlemen asked for information,which I freely gave, as an action was intended against the informant. Of course it was then unnecessary, if not before, to proceed further in the case. I think any subsequent inquiry led to tho conclusion that there was no truth in the statement; and most probably, had an inquiry been made to me at the time, I should have answered accordingly. Were I Commissioner of Customs, I think I should only be giving countenance to the statement made in the Napier papers by pursuing the investigation you suggest. I assure you that it would be a subject of much regret to me, if, after these remarks, you should entertain any impression that the statement made respecting your firm finds any credence with me. I am satisfied that the accusation was without foundation, but have no means of saying that it was malicious. I have, &c., William Daldy, Esq., Auckland. J. Eiciiabdsoit.
