THE ‘TIMES’ REPORTER SURREBUTTED.

Td the Editor. Sir, — I sincerely thank you, and not only yoa for having kindly inserted my letter, which has at length brought an answer; but I also earnestly thank the reporter Of. the 'Times ’ for his answer, confirminghis report as being perfectly true, ,of which J never once entertained a doubt, as he, from my repeated letters to their office on the subject mast have known ; and I was only booted to slightly infer it might be incorrect*; firstly because of the tenor of sthe K.hLV letter to me thereon; secondly, because of toy having repeatedly asked the * Times * :to do what it so courteously did not, although its reporter has now satisfactorily done so, W tiSarehy I gamed my object; thirdly/ bebbute o! i goosi(subsequent explanation in thd fffeea* which merely threwidirt into the ev&S[ th« public, for this reason; that it could hardly nutted for default of toeana was cnm m hnJ for matters .5P> L?yidenQe jnesiis. mSS things are Tue o&se v. rS th2 orship in hwjmt called* meethis mAdi|srs, .but preferred. to ges his discharge in bankruptcy,

ruptcy law in motion to defeat his creditors,” I ask your readers to what else - could Filewood’s letter have reference, in which he says: “According to Mr Bathgate’s version, proceeding under bankruptcy law tends to defeat creditors. I was* bound by law to file my declaration, and for doing so Mr Bathgate commits me as a warning ?” And pray what other interpretation could anyone have put upon the report, he, Filewood. having been summoned only as to his means of payment, not as to any one particle of fraud of any description, and haying been committed simply, (as he was summoned) to show cause why be should not be so, namely, for default of payment, which putting the bankruptcy law in motion, it was said, tended-to defeat. Certainly File wood’s lettered not, in express language (as by a signpost or the letter A), refer to the report, yet any boy might, and the reporter must have seen that it had such reference. I might add much more; ied sat,, this will probably suffice for the reporter, who «an let me know if he sustains any loss or incon venience. Oblige me again, please, and believe me yours truly, Rattray street, March 12.
