At the public meeting, on Thursday evening, Mr. WliaJ], Slember of the Provincial Council for the town of Greymouth, nifide «a -distinct clisirgc against this journal Ayhic'i, although its correctness whs emphatically denied at the meeting, we consider domands a lliqre .."widely, circulated refufcatioii. Mr. Whall, by way df apology :to the ii)(ieting for the long digi-essioa hp .'made from the subject in discussion, said that he.luid no other opportunity of making the publ ic aware of- the matters he tlieii mentioned, " as lie "had; wiitte'i several letiei-sto.the GuiSY RiverAi gjs, which had been^refused insertion." /This is not -the 1 " first time that MivWhal^has made a similar assertion,- for we v are aware he has been iv thehabitof repeating it in private. We now, therefore, plainly and emphatically inform the public, that no letter, written .by Mr. Whall, fob publication in. the Grey Biver Argus, has on any occasion" BEEN REFUSED- INSERTION. * The columuK of this journal have, always been aud are open to the public for the discussion of any subject of- jmblic interest, or for giving publicity to coml)lainfe' and gi-ievances, subject only to the needful restrictions of - decency and propriety. We do not think it neces■saiy to take auy further notice of Mr. : "V^liall's gratuitous and uusubs+.autiated accusation thaiF;to give it this; public and unqualified^; contradiction, leaving the public to form its own opinion as to the "motives which ;led him to make it.
