ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT.

St Cyprian. — The matter a boat which yoa speak has been re* f erred to the person most concerned. Hs evidently does not consider it mcessary to reply either in the Time* or Tablet, Bishop Nevill is on the spot and in a controversy could reply immediately. The answer would not appear for nearly a week. The controversy would therefore, from that point of view, be unequal. You must bear in mind, too, that the Otago Daily Times has sometimes a fashion of closing a correspondence when things become too warm for the side to which it leans. We have bad personal experience of the unfair* ness of the editor in the matter of correspondence. We think, under the circumstances, a letter, in whiob bad taste straggles with pretension for notoriety, were best left unnoticed by the prelate.
