A CONTRADICTION.

TO THE EDITOR. Sin, —It is with reluctance and regret that I have to ask you for _ space to correct a false impression which in some remarkable way has got into circu lation. It is this : I have been told that the funds I am collecting for Mrs Moss are to be spent in defending Mr Moss, I will only say that Mr Wilding, Mi- Stringer, andMrWiddowson, offered their services gratuitously and most generously, and are giving to, instead of taking from Mi' 3 Moss. There have been other tumors, but I wiil answer them all by saying that Mrs Moss is entirely without funds, though certainly not without friends, and I will take good care that the sun*s subscribed shall be used for hor benefit only, and at a later date I will render a clear account of my stewardship.—l am, etc. Alfred Harrison, Ashburton, August-5.

The Chair man said no doubt over-trading was the (principal cause of the smash. The bank had only advanced £70,000 on mining ventures, chiefly on the security of raining plants; only £5000 had been advanced against scrip. Another director estimates that the loss even at the worst will not be more than i15Q,00.0. The representatives of the Union Bank and'ißank of Aiistralasia have arrived here tq investigate affairs.

By his system MrFoster can ensure independent brands for six hundred owners, and any attempt tit defacing them would be very easily detected. The scheme is one that appears to have all the advantages and none of the drawbacks which usually attend the marking of sheep. At Outram, last Saturday, a witness in a case of Sunday trading was evidently under the inflence of liqnoi, and Constable Griffith, T>rior to tne ease being heard, poured several buckets of water over the head of the man, who roared lustily and cried out loudly for the constable to desist.
