In a report elsewhere Mr Feict , accuses ub of economising the truth ' with reference to Mrs Beere's case ' We'fear the Benevolent Sooiety is still , more economical in this direction, for , ihe Chairman of it quoted a leading | article of ours published some lime ago , and left ii to bs' inferred tbat irwas '. applicable to Mrs Beere's case. Now i it was within the knowledge of the 1 CbairmaD that it referred to a case of quite a different oharacter; but he did not state this fact, The position was simply, as admitted by the Chairman, viz.: that the Sooiety would.stand t aloof, and that the woman's furniture would be removed at once to the auction room and the woman turned out of the house. Indeed, initruotions had been given to take the doors and win- . dows nut of the cottage, as a final , measure, Mr Payton interfered to, . atop this, and had he ocoupied the ) position he formerly held, asObairman r of the Benevolent Society, he would 1 moat certainly have interfered offici-, | ally. We invite Mr Feist to-Bhow how or where Mr Payton eoonomised the truth 1 What Mr Payton did economise, when he was Chairman of the Society, was money, Mr Feist will find that the cost of working the Society was materially reduced during Mr Payton's term of offioe.
