MEIKLE v. M'INTYRE.

£~ Sir,— ln your report of the case Meikle v, M'lntyre, according to James M'lntyre's .evidence, Meikle informed' him -that he accused Mr Dickson, my fethewMaw, ef driving about 300 sheep into, his (Meikle's) paddock for the purpose of grazing then; over night.

Although utterly false his outside statement is not alter all so much to be wondered at, Probably Mr Dickson when he hears o| }t will have' something; mwe; 1 19 Seay. it.— l am, &c,
