CHARITABLE AID CASE.

TO the editor. Sir, —I distinctly deny the statement made by Mr Brown that 1 agreed with him to sell the furniture. According to him it looks now as if 1 wanted to do the holders of the bill of sal* out of their rights, whereas I had good reason to feel thankful to Messrs Moody and Ziesler, because after Mr Uprichard died they renewed the bill of sale and Mr Ziesler afterwards told me he would never have taken the furniture. When Mr Brown seized the furniture 1 wrote at onoe to Messrs Moody and Ziesler about it. This, I think, shows I had no intention of wronging them. Mr Brown spoke to me about tho furniture, and I told him Messrs Moody and Ziesler had kiodly renewed the bill of sale. There was not another word spoken on the subject until Mr Brown seized the furniture. After the seizure I told Mr Brown everything had beep taken, even to the two boilers, and he said " Oh, well, we'll see what we can do." Ido not know that he ever did anything for the family. If he did, he seized everything—he has the house, the horse, and the filly, and the book debts ; and all left of the furniture was 3 chairs, 5 plates, one dish, one kettle, one small saucepan, one candlestick, four cups and saucers, also the bedding, but no bedstead. Whatever might have been Mr Brown's liberality wLile Mr Uprichard was alive he did not treat his widow very liberally.—l am, etc., Wm. Wtatt.
