Mr. Foriyth on the lo'ih of August, iBSO, let lo Bush the sawing station. The document is as follows : MonaUau, lG'li August, iB5O. Mr. W. Foray tb, Sir— l hereby agree to rent from you the sawing station at Dig Muddy Creel;, hire bullocks, and all specified in my account of this date at the weekly rent ofonepounl twelve shillings (j£i 125.) nil to be returned in the tame good repair at they arc at present, and to be responsible for the price of the bullocks in case of death or an> accident, you providing me with a man to drive the bullocks. (Signed) Edward C. Busir. Witness — C. Lethart." I beg to ask the Resident Magistrate where is the propriety of constiuing Bush into my agent when he (Bush) lented the sawing slat'on from me, having previously given his interest in the forest up to me, in patt payment of his debt he rented it from me. Again I nsk the Resident Magistrate what he has done with his memory ? Why put Bush in prison fur debt when sued by his workmen, if he and his woikmeniare my agents ? Is it because Hush had nothing more to loose that I am sued for his debts ? With relation to Mr. Hansard's letter to the South' cm CroiS. It is true in my letter I had on?itted lo put the date; it is true that I did not think it material to supply the date when Mi. Burn had stated that it would not be inserted, and that I did not take the letter when'iMr. Hansard returned it by Mr. Mum's order. The conclusion to which I came was, there was no intention to publish i', and the fact had corroborated my belief. With relation lo your additional statements, Mr. Editor, I quite agiee, "that the value of Mr. For • syth'a evidenco spcuki for itself in the document produced.' 1 That document proved that 1 had paid six pounds seventeen shillings (£6 17*>.) to the natives on account of Bush, and that the same was put to his account, that document proved that Bash was not my agent, and I consequently not accountable for his debit, and that part of the document which you have published proves that Bush was my tenant and not my agent, confirming the statements repentedly made. The mistake, Mr. Editor, was yonr own, you could not see it, — ah, Sir, how blind are they who will not see? Now, Sir, without mistake, you have the privelege of inserting this in your paper. Yours respectfully, W. FonsYTir. Colenhill, 25th Dec, 1850.
