Wellington, last night. The Evening Post to-night says: “Wo have to-day boon served with a suit of Sir Josoph Ward, claiming tho enm of £SOOO damages. This we have handed to onr solicitors ia tho ordinary oourso. Tho mattor of which plaintiff oomplains appeared In onr advertising columns, and of : course we had no part in its preparation; but wo desire ab onoe. and before any communication takes place between our legal advisers and those of the plaintiff, to 1 admit in tho tallest terms that if duo care f
had boon exorcised by ua tho advertisement ■V would not have appeared, and that publi. * oation oan neither be justified nor exoused, and without regard to the reanit of legal proceedings, wo express to Sir Joseph Ward oar unqualified regret that such ao imputation ehonid have found place in our columns. As we have made dear, the matter complained of was contained in. an advertisement, and has no relation to editorial comment, whiob, as onr readers are aware, tho Post is wont to justify.”
