The Lord Salisbury Dispute.
Editor Witness, — The communication in last week's Witness over the signature "Wright, Stephenson, and Co. (per J. A. Johnstone)" does not fully represent the facts in connection with the misrepresentation which appeared in the advertisement in the Australasian of the New Zealand bred mares. Mr Johnstone, when challenged by me in regard to the statement objected to, admitted writing the instructions ; but when pressed as to the objectionable matter he simply said " Oh, that would he ," and gave the name of a third party. I distinctly deny that he offered to show me " the correspondence containing the particulars of the breeding of the mares and in which no mention whatever is made of their being in foal to any horse." This sophistical rendering of the case does not however mend matters in any way, for particulars of breeding could be shown without the statement as to service. — Yours, &c, Robeet Gawn.
Deerpark Farm, Mosgiel, June 21.
[Any furthar correspondence on this subject must appear in our advertisement columns. The matter is really merely a private dispute, and capable of being settled without reference to the general public. — Ed.]
