MR. BEIGHTON'S REPLY.

(To the Editor.) S%n, —l a.ra, quite content to have, been the means of inducing Mr. Beighton to quit his modest anonymity, although I confess to surprise at the rambling and incoherent style of his letter. He is now attempting to import into the question matters utterly foreign to the subject which originated the correspondence; but I decline to be led into a discussion on things in general with Mr. Beighton. Suffice it, I have made a plain statement of facts; Mr. Beighton has made what perhaps he considers the same. lam quite content to let those on the spot, who had every opportunity of judging, draw their conclusions. One word now in regard to the mysterious investigation referred to by Mr. Beighton. It seems to be no mystery at all to him, and his amusing distortions of certain circumstances, that transpired induce me to believe that lie possibly was present after all, perhaps as eavesdropper at the keyhole or ventilator. I cannot otherwise account for his version of the investigation, which, I grant (assuming his version to be correct), is a truly mysterious one. —l am, &c., G. Mackat. Koxburgb, 18th July, 1873.
