(To the Editor of the Waikato Times.) Sm, — Since your reporter lield my name up to ridicule in reporting the caso Duffus v. Brown heard here lately, I now ask you to publish the simple fncts of the case, which were these:— Some wheat being offered here for sale, Brown, net* ing for Mr Hill, openly offered a certain price for it, which I telegraphed to Mr Lamb, whereupon Brown presuming to think that I had no right to do co, insulted mo in the most, violent language, and because I treated him with contempt; liet ook up a stick and struck mo three times, bieaking it over my shoulders, and as I had no desire to fight m public, I at once sent for a constable. The report that I took off my coat is simply untruo. I attempted to do so •( hut I might have a ebancv of defending myself, but ho prevented me by sti iking me immediately several times in the lace. I took twelve witnesses to Court, but by pleading guilty ho prevented me from calling them, and thus proving what really occurred. — I nm, Szc, B. D. L. DuFrcp. Aleiandia, 2U:'d July, 1874.
