THE WAIKATO RAILWAY.

TO THE BDITOE. Sib, — In a subheader yesterday morning you state that the line, after passing through Mr. Buckland's and Mr. Harris's property, crosses within a milo and a half of the centre of the Tuakau settlement; runs up within a short distance of Mr. Corbett's house on the hill above Pokeno," &c. ; and then go on to say, in reference to Mr.Wrigg's line, that the line as altered is giving universal satisfaction to all the settlers along the whole route and in all the contiguous settlements. Now, Bir, this is running the rig too far, for I, as one of the landowners and settlers, on behalf of myself and many of my acquaintances, do give a distinct denial to that statement. On the contrary, we are all rery much disappointed to find that the Government permit Mr. Wrigg to continue the surrey of a line which is so well known to be more than six miles longer between JDrury and Mercer than the line of discovery by Mr. Gwynneth, and I am safe in saying that every landowner along Mr. Gwynneth's line has consented to give his land free of cost. — I am, &c, Samuel Crickett, Symonds-street.
