PRESS PROSECUTION.
To the Editor of the Alcaroa Mail. Sir, —I have the pleasure to forward to you a pamphlet containing a report of the evidence given before the R.M., at A burton, upon a summons charging me, as a journalist, with publishing false, mahr cious, and defamatory comment on tha public actions of the Borough Solicitor all Ashburton. I observed an allusion, irr the Akaroa Mail, to myself a«d to the alleged libel. Permit me to hope that, before you express any further opinion on this case in the Mail, you will look at the evidence which I now forward to you ; or, if you prefer not to inform yourself of the facts sworn in evidenoe, that you will abstain frcm expressing an opinion until a jury has given its verdict on the case. My numerous friends at Akaroa will ther look to you for a report of the true fact of the case, and I can confidently rely 01 their impartial .judgment. Yours, &c, . JOSEPH IVESS. Ashburton, March 17.1880.
