Mr Pownall in Reply.

[TO THB EDITOR, W.D, TIMES,]

Sin,—My name in so constantly in your columns that I feel I am keeping your paper from becoming extinct, and lamreluotaot to continue this course unless I receivo a share of the profits (if there are any?) Id discussing (be question of the alleged bouse of illrepute you beat from pillar to post. You first of all charged me with knowing the occupants tc be of ill-repute when I was unfortunute enough, seemingly, to draw up a deed for them, and base this upon the fact that Mr Hare consulted me us you allege When you find, as I presume, that I never Baw Mr Hare until weeks after !he transaction alluded to, you reseat, and say that I stated to tho Council that no notice had been taken of the matter until the present house was occupied. So I did, and I say so still, Notice may have been taken by the landlord in jus private inteiest, but I knew nothing of the Ministers of Religion who were using their efforts etc; although I might have known that these gontleruen would pok? their nose any-where, What I alluded to ms public noiice, petitions, waitings from leagues, and the like. The fact that no notice was taken publicly of tho alleged nuisance is burn out by the fact that you yourself dealt with the person in question B&d took hor money, as you say, not knowing her real character 1 And so far as you are concerned I may settle your sincerity in the matter by remarking that altkugh.you have since discovered, a« you a%«, the real character oftk woman, her dollars, "the wagesofsin," itilhtkk toyour sanctimonious pochl. As for yourcorrespondent MrDaniell, the "prophet Daniell," I can only say that he is not worth replying to, if he cannot write without displaying ignoranco aud spite, bis uncouth language being-a mark of tho man, If he could not come to the Council meeting to support the precious crowd of petitioners. Who orept to the far corners of the earth sooner than .back in porson then/ Pharisaical assertions, he had hetler keep the back seat from whenou htf emerged; until he does be gets no Other notice than contempt iron) me, >s to his remark that ''even I would not be seen walking with the 'lady"in qcestion," I can only retort that I do not think em tho" lady in question" would be at all anxious to be seen walking with him,—l am, etc,,
