Sib,— l was much surprised, but ctrt-inly not amused on reading a Utter in the correspondence column of your issue of the loth instant, in which Mr Albert John Palmer ridicules a professional gentleman for endeavoriug to make the best he could of a bad case.

The matters referred to by him do not interest the public, and I muit therefore decline to discuss them in a newspaper, lam, &c... . : J. PaMWR, Waimea West, June 12. 1876.
