THE ROW AT THE PROSPECTORS.

(To the Editor of the Eveßiiitig; Star^

SiR,-rln reading your last night's issue, jour Ohinemuri correspondent makes an attack on the correspondent of the Cross, who he states made himself a conspicuous liai*, regarding what took place on the prospectors claim on the 13th instant. Being an eje witness on the occasion, and having read your correspoadent's version of the story, one thing «eems certain to me, and that is, that he could not bare been on the ground at the time referred to, else for some special reasons km.wn to himself, he wishes to take the part of the lambs, of whom he is likely one. He states there were not more than 200 persons present. I distinctly state there were double tbat number. Mr Thorpe was knocked down, a large boulder was rolled down from the face of the hill, close to where Mr Thorpe was standing. 2sa rope was used for the baling out of the winze, as men stood close enough to pass the bucket along. In conclusion, I may add, that I do not know the Cross reporter, even by name, but all the compliments heaped on his head, should be returned ten fold to the writer of that miserable article dated " Ohinemuri, 19th instant."—l am, &c, An Eye WitFisi.
