THE KAKANUI ENQUIRY.
TO THE EDITOB.
Sin,—lt is perfectly well-known that Mr T. F. Fraser took a leading part in inducing the late Government to despatch the Kabanui upon her ill-fated mission. Yesterday, in court, Mr Flder swore that, in answer to Mr Fraser s enquiries, he told him there was not the least chance of the men starving; yet it was the fear of this that caused the steamer to be despatched. The query naturally arises, did Mr Fraser accmaint the Government with the information he received from Mr Elder, and if he did not, why he did not. This information coming from whence it did, was of an important and reliable character, and the Government should have oeenatonca apprised of it. Why has not Mr Fraser been placed in the witness box and questioned upon this point and others m regard to his connection with the whole affair.-I am, &c, D(medin,ApriUs. Enquibeb.
