MR STAMPER AND THE POLICE COURT.

To the Editor. Sir, —I will thank you to insert my letter (as follows) toMr.lftsh, whipkhe^adample time to have inserted in w yesterday's ' 4 Star,' buthia»ifhßem(»f,cotirse) T f-i hj r 7 H. S. Fish, Era. Dear Sir,—lf A, a poor man in his shirt sleeves, owed yon ft interest) on his note iu writing; andif,after he hacT paid you 195 fl say nothing about interest) you sued Mm for the difference between the L 95 and the I*lol, he then deliberately Swearothat ho never did owe, you mpre than) the L 95, pray, wonld yon have acquitted him, youv' debtor, from his false statement P (exoftseme.)

I remark, too, that there is not anything in nature but may be converted into an instrument of mischief. Let an act of "indecency" (a word he thrice repeats) and " impertinence " in anyone be censured by some one who has authority to do it, and then on'y when it shall occur. With discretion to conceal ignorance (but the eat will come out at times), a little law goes a creat way in a petty Court. "It is the duty of aUpersons to witness the sayings and doings of Justices of the Peace." * • • «jjfa everjMaan,«waraan, and ohild has a perfeet right Tib go into, and hear, and see in any Court of "Justice, and when they retire to speak truly and' feirfy, and to publish verb<M fii Mnti&nb anything tnev mav hava^^i^ use -Wo much « either; or varnish " lam, &0., ' Dnnedia, Oetotar M>
