Excerpt from The Review of Reviews for Australasia, Vol. 3: April 1908 The storm became so' fierce that Mr. A Dumb Mauger telegraphed to the police Police Sergeant sergeant to substantiate his state ment'. But that illustrious person age, being evidently made of material that crumbles under attack, declined to answer the telegram. Mr. Mauger therefore did the thing which an honour able man would do under the circumstances. And withdrew the statement, which, be it noted care fully, he had in the first case explicitly stated was made on the authority of the policeman. Mr. Manger's position is in no wise depreciated. Nor is the force of the plea he was making lessened. Mr Mauger intends to return to the Maitland district and to address the miners again.
