THE "ARGUS" CASE.
I notice in your paper's report of the "Argus" case, heard on Monday, that in an interview Mr. Copeland, senior, is reported as saying that he did not think that the detective concerned had put the case before the Court in a fair manner, or words to that effect. As a solicitor who was present in Court during the hearing, may I beg space to say that no one could have been fairer in the conduct of the case than the detective who had charge of it. Further, I personally heard counsel for the Messrs. Copeland thank the detective concerned for the fair manner in which he had conducted the case against them. I think that the above facts should be known in fairness to a hard-worked official whose duties are often distasteful to perform, but which he must nevertheless perform in protection of the public interests. A SOLICITOR. Whangarei.
