He is a man whose short ex> perienoe of public life should be sufficient to dtunn him i for ever as utterly useless. We have only to remember one or two episodes in bis history on the Thames—the pig and goat bye-laws and the "great petition" notably. And this man has the impertinence to ask us to elect him Mayor. Burgesses, vote for Wilkinson. —I am, &c, :', ■-■ ' prm ;•■ [advbbtisement.] ' MILLER ANd"mcMANUS. (To the Editor of the Evening Stab.) SIRi— As*-the public may be under the impression that I owed money to the firm of Macdbnald and Miller, I beg through your columns' to dispel the illusion; When I took action against the Auckland Justices, it Was to those men I: entrusted my case. Instead of bringing the aotion before the Supreme Court; they allowed the six months to elapse which is, the time allowed by law to enter any action against Justices. I mortgaged my house to them to cany on this action : all they did was to send a petition to Mr Rowe, which was consigned to the waste paper basket. Two years after I went myself, and> when, giving evidence, I stated that Macdonald and Miller kept the ease for the six months. The Hon.\Mr Bowes said if they took. a shilling they, could, be struck off the roll for not bringing their otfse before the Court. Had they .been faithful to me as a client, I need never, have gone to Wellington. When the £100 was awarded, they sued me for£l3ifortbe case that through their ' neglect I lost. I knew the late Magistrate too well to defend the action: I knew he would not ask what they did for the money, but order me to pay. I told Macdonald what the Minister of Justice said about the striking off business. He said if I signed a paper he would never ask for the money, and he never did ask, Mr Editor, until his partner stopped the sale of my property, and once more banished a sensitive sufferer from me— my child. They walked out as they entered, not receiving one shilling, and have had to pay expenses. But, Mr Editor, I will meet them, not like the midnight assassin, but on open, fair ground. If I don't punish them, they need not thank me. Before Major Murray signed that bit of paper, he might have made a little Jflfquiry, and ascertained whether I had refused: payment. I had not done so. The Colonel, the Major, and the Judge will , hear' more on the subject; but I forgot, Mr Editor, we live under the flag of liberty, the vaunted boast of Englishmen. As Pat said to the great Napoleon, when on picking up his hat, the Emperor thanked him as "captain." In what regiment said Pat, determined to have his commission. Many a fellow has the title of a British officer whose actions would disgrace a bone arid' bottle-gatherer. When I sought my book of receipts, did not the Colonel step into the witness box, swear he was ten years a Magistrate, tried twenty thousand oases, never gave a more righteous judgment, and never had his judgment appealed against. Mark, Mr Editor, never gave a more righteous judgment than in a case where he had no power to try, and which was a Supreme Court case. If it was a righteous judgment, why did ho not see it paid? I have not done so. lam going to hold the postponed sale in a few days. Mr Leydoa will oblige those gentlemen with any article they may choose to purchase, at a good price, as a souvenir of their defeat and the uselessness of their signatures against me. Aay just debt I owe on the field, I am willing and anxious to meet, but those who try to rob me may make up their minds to be on the losing side. In oonolußion, I thank the proprietor of the Evmtchg Stab. I trust his columns will still continue to give both sides of the story, and that it may receive that support which every impartial journal is entitled to, as it is a powerful weapon against tyranny. 1404 H.
