(To the Editor of the Evening Stab.) Sib,—The lying petition of a disgrace to manhood, purporting to be from an injured although erring girl, which ap« peared in your columns on the 10th inst, requires a reply from me. At the outset I may say that I hare no objection to any honorable man sitting as a judge in this matter, but as the defendant's guardian I shall most strenuously object to the R.M. named in the petition, because apart from the influence which the petitioner's solicitor may be able to exercise with him through mutual friends (an influence which must needs exist or he would never be mentioned as a desirable judge by the petitioner's solicitor), he would possibly measure the defendant by his own expe* rience, which I submit would place the defendant at a great disadvantage. It is only for the sympathy I feel for the poor child who has suffered, and must needs suffer, that I hare so far refrained from taking action to punish those whom I am convinced are condemned for oerjury and conspiracy, simply beoause X could not punish two and let the third escape,

but I am ready at any time to set "emesis on their track.—l am, &c, George Djssby.
