MR IVESS AND THE PRINTERS.
Sir, — To-night "Compositor,' 1 in a letter which is as false as it is foolish, refers to what he terms my defence of the " Old
Woman" and the "Nightshirt." lam not aware of having said anything concerning wearing apparel or old women, so I fail to understand him. Until he attaches his name to his letters T shall treat him with the contempt which such a coward deserves. --I am, <!«■., M. 1,. KKAIUXCi. August Id, ISvST. •Sin, —In an evening print .1 letter appeals, in answer to Mr M. L. Heading, signed " Compositor." The concoctor of that, effusion states that M. 1/. Heading did not reply to his (" Comp's ") statement that boys at the H.vwkk's Day HmiAi.n receive nothing for the lirst year, l'erI hapsM.L, Heading is in the same boat as " Compositor" — i.e., did not commence his trade at the Htx.u.o, so he does not know, I may inform " Conipo." that ] began my trade at the Hkkai.i), anil received 3s per week for the first year. Let him come out from behind the haystack and sign his name, and then perhaps the older comps will answer him. —I am, &.C, K. CIIKCWIUIIKX, JU.NI:. Napier, August 10. ISB7.
