THE POUND.

I To the ICilltor.

Sia —Hip »m«w.t fifv^n l>y Mr Wil lis 10 the question,— ' Mow did he ue' possession ? ' at H>e list rnwtin? of the Town B'tnnl tru-t lie my npolo^y foi A ft" I* tlu> Do'ir.l ac/ppted my temht for the P.mnd, I called at the Office ant) not finding Mr Wiliis there, nslcd Mr Scolt if lie could trive me the key jh ] wanted to s»et in'o Hie house. H« v»»fy folitely informed me thnt he had not the power to do s-t. I called the next day aii-1 iv the pH'senciJ o' Mr Scott an i »n ndependent witnees, Mr Willis gave me the key, the book nnd the Act. I asked him for the. aawmftnt and he told me if [ was satisfied that was enough ; there was nothing to sisjn. Ido not know how, m the faco of this, he could tell the Board that 1 got possession from Mr Gordon, and got into tlie Barracks unknown to him. When he gave me the key he told me that Mr Gordon had a duplicate k^y belonging to the Pound, which I was to get from him, I told him he required the key to get at some straw he had store 1 there, but Mr Willis sai-1 he could not be allowed to keep it ; I must get it from him at ence. 1 told him it had nothing to do witn me ; he must get it for me. Thi«, I maintain, is a correct version of: what took place, and, it will be seen, it varies with Mr Willis' statement to the Board. — I am, etc. Gi?o, Hannaford. Southbridafo, Oct. 12th.
