[advertisement.] [to the editor] Sir, —I prosecuted a man named David Corsair at the Police Court on Monday last for stealing a door from the building now in course of erection for Mr Walcott, and, strange to say, though the evidence in my mind was conclusive as to the guilt of the prisoner, the Bench discharged him. Now, Sir, the plea put in by the defendant was that I owed him wages, which is incorrect, as I do not owe him a single penny. The reason that I trouble you to insert this letter is with a view to putting myself right with the public.—l am, &c., JAMES WIGGINS.
