CORRESPONDENCE.
To THE EDITOB OF THE «« EVENING MAIL." Sir— With your permission I should like to be allowed to Btato the facts of the case Scott v. Beilly, which came before the Magistrates' Court ou Wednesday last. Scott never supplied me with the goods mentioned in his bill, and never made any claim on me whatever until February last, over six years from the date of the alleged debt, and that was after I bad summoned him for a few pounds that he owed me. I was afraid that I could not get to Nelaon in time, and consequently put on the plea " Statute of Limitations," and "not indebted," as, if I was not in time, judgment would go against me. ' When I arrived, which was about twelve o'clock on the night before the case was to have been heard, I instructed my solicitor to withdraw the plea " Statute of Limitations," and to proceed on the merits of the case, but this he could not do, as the case was withdrawn. Apologising for taking up so much of your space. — I am, &c, James Reiixy. Nelson, June 10, 1880,
