Allowing.l was wrong in not doing bo, was not the owner of Heretaunga wrong in entering the horse? I maintain, where two j wrongs are in question, the "least committee could have done was to have held a careful enquiry to meet the ends of justice; but it is apparently evident that little consideration is shown by the Jockey Club to persons outside a certain circle.—l am, &c, ... , , , J-J. Jones. Taradale, October 1,8,1881.'
