AN EXPLANATION PROM CAPTAIN BEADON.

(To tho Editor of the Evening Stab.) Sir, —A paragraph in your paper of the 6th inst., in reference to my appearance I before their Honors the Judges of tho Native Lands Court, erroneously stated that Captain Beadon was defrauded by his agent. Mr James Mackay stated that Mr Cormack, the a sent of Captain Beadon, withdrew his claim, and I emphatically denied thnt Mr Cormack was my agent when he withdrew my claim. Mr Gordon Sandeman was my sole individual agent, and fulfilled my instructions to the letter in this matter. Mr Cormack was employed by Sandeman to purchase the land in 1839, but Sandeman never held any power to sell or transfer securities in my name, and,, moreover, when Mr Cormack withdrew my claim to the land which he had purchased for Sandeman in my name, Sandeman, Willis Sandeman, or any of their agents or assigns, had been legally superseded more than two years before from acting as my agents, and due notice had been given to Cormack, Sandeman, or Willis Sandeman, of the fact. If Mr James Mackay's argument is correct, a power of attorney is irrevocable.^! am, your obedient servant, GrEOBGE Beadon, Captain E.N.
