CORRESPONDENCE.
HEATHCOTE LARRIKINS, To the Editor of the Globe.
Sib, —In justice to myself I cannot let the report furnished to your paper go unchallenged of my nntruthfulness as witness n the above case. I have been known to the complainant Wilson for more than seven years, and during that time I challenge him or any other resident to come forward and prove that I ever told them an untruth or tried to injure their property in any way. And, as regards the stone throwing on the night in question, on account of the darkness and the distance I was from the complainant’s house, it was possible for every pane of glass in his windows to be broken and for me not to hear the noise or see the missiles thrown. This is the first occasion I was ever in a Court of Justice, and I am sorry to say I am not favorably impressed, or with Sub-Inspector O’Donnell’s remarks, for it appears that if he could have obtained a conviction by false statements from me, I should have been a fine fellow in his estimation. Trusting you will insert the above, and will do me the justice I have fa'led to receive elsewhere, I am, &c., M. FLAYELL.
