A COMPLAINT.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sib, —With your permission I beg to offer through the columns of your impar* tial journal a few remarks on the case of McOormick v. Driscolt, adjudicated by the Thames Bench yesterday, as illustratire of the glorious uncertainty of the law when administered by the £treat Unpaid. Had no prerious and recent cases been on record affecting the credibility of the defendants, I venture to say that even then an experienced and discriminating Magistrate would bare considered the evidence balanced if it did not preponderate in the plaintiff's favor. In this instance the evidence of a man and his wife, unsupported by. any written record, is held sufficient to inflict a heavy pecuniary loss on a struggling man and his family whose property and labor have been sacrificed on the testimony of witnesses who have gained a certain notoriety.—l am, &c, ,-'■■■ ■■'■■■-
