AN EXPLANATION.
[TO THE EDITOR. J Sir, —Re your report of the Court case, Flaxmills Employees’ Uuiou v. F. Davis, of the ist inst., you state that Mr Robiusou said that I had no objection to be put on the Union books. What was said was that I did not give an answer, as I was not asked to go into the witness box. I wish to state that I was never approached on the subject, and I emphatically deny I wished to be put on. Your reporter seemed to be very interested in the case, for why I do not know. One thing he put me in mind of was one of those poor little rabbits fleeing to its burrow, when pursued by the enemy —the rabbit got there, unfortunately he didn’t. Thanking you in anticipation for your kindly space.—l am, etc., F. Davis. Foxton, April 3, ’O9. [ln evidence, vide our report, Mr Robiusou stated that defendant “ made no objection when told that he was going to again put him (Davis) on the list of paying members.” Our report thus co-iucides with Mr Davis’ statement above. If, however, Mr Davis can’t grasp it, that is his misfortune. Mr Davis’ other remarks are childish and irrelevant. —Ed.H.]
