To the Editor of the New Zealand Tablet.

of Sir,—Having seen in your last issue that a subscription list was opened at Reef ton for the benefit of the Fenian prisoners lately released, I sincerely hope that the patriotic Irishmen of Dunedin have not forgotten what those men have suffered for their country. I would suggest, Mr. Editor, that a committee be formed, so as to give the Irishmen of Dunedin an opportunity of assisting in the laudable and national work of doing som«rh ing for the widow and orphans of Chas. McCarthy and the rest of the poor fellows who have suffered so much for the cause of old Ireland. Hoping I have not intruded on your valuable space, I am, &c, Dunedin, April 1, 1878. HiBERNICUS.
