(TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD.): -Sib, —lt is a, pity your 'con'tenipbr-i arjr does not try to ascertain facts' before publishing particulars of a case about- which he •■• appears to : know nothing. I allude to the artest of the lad Currie. The st ruggle th rowing : business, &a, which he pictures so; vividLy,mußt be a -product of his own ; fertile brain,, as nothing of the sorb took place. •: TW constaltle was told before, he came into the shop "which bench Currie worked at, and the colour of the clothes' he wore, and was able to walk straight to his man; '■ In fact, he spoke to no one but Currie, who- seemed"^completely 1 'sfcunhtsd. 1 by the affair, and a greater farce than tl»e "bracelet business " 1 never saw. Currie is a steady 1 qniet lad, but like many other young fellows rather given to blow about what he possesses and the houses he thought of buying, and so gulled our friend 6t the Times, which we suppose accounts for the black picture of the affair drawn m that paper. By kindly inserting the al>6ve you will confer a favour upon Venn's workmen.— l am, &c, OneofThem.
