AN EXPLANATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.
oiu — In Hooper v. Reformer Newspaper Company (heard yesterday in the Resident Magistrate's Cjurt) promiuent mention was made of the fact that I had been dismissed from the stall* of a locrl evening paper — not the Post— at a week's notice. As the statement, unaccompanied by explanation, may nflect me injuriously in other provinces, where I am, perhaps, better known than iv Wellington, I shall take it ns a favor if you will allow me to state that I left the paper in question through no delinquency or incapacity. My dismissal was a gross (and successful) attempt to muzzle the independence of newspaper writers: but it will satisfy my present purpose it you will permit me to I Say that I shall, at a future time, find a means ot placing b :foro tho public a statement winch may nflbid an instructive lesson as to tho way iv which "company" newspapers, aud the locil paper referred to iv particular, are manipulated. I may further explain that upon receiving the week's notice, I treated it us a direct insult, aud left the offico on the iiistaut. I pin, &c, George Fisher.
