THE HORSE-STEALING CASE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —In a paragraph of your issue of Thursday last, in which you give a condensed report of ths proceeding's of the R.M. Court, Cambridge, with respect to the horse-stealing- case, I am therein reported as having turned Queen's evidence, with a view of being thereby released from custody. I beg most respectfully to give an unqualified denial to the statement, as I refused upon any consideration whatsoever to give evidence against the two now in custody on the charge of horse-stealing, and in consequence of which refusal I was arrested. As a matter of fact, I was not within five miles of the two when they were arrested, and consequently did not know anything about the matter until spoken to upon the subject at Napier by Detective Grace. By kindly giving insertion to this vindication, you will greatly oblige.—Yours respectfully, John Doyle. P.S.—I may further remark that as the police were unable to find any charge against me they were at last obliged to let me go.
