THE NARROWS BRIDGE CASE.
TO THIS EDITOR. Sir, —I observe in your issue of Saturday, 24th inst., you publish a copy of Capt. Jackson's judgment iu the Narrows Bridge oase, in wnioh be says that the "clerk of the council knows of no snob control being given by the Minister, and has never seen any document relating to them on the matter." It is evident the magistrate has misunderstood me. lie referred to the Public Works Act, of 1884, and I understood bin to require that I should produce a Gazette g? pi'»glaif)ation bearing «n the subject. I stated I had never sept? any, but I never intended him to understand that the agreement whereby the control of the bridge was vested in the Waikato was a verbal one, and that I had never seen any document f&lafjng to it. The control was legally effected and the by : law is good, and will be enforced, as the miscarriage of justice has occurred through misapprehension. I send you this correction in case the public may toil}): that the by-law is quashed, and be misled into committing an offence.—l am, &c M .Tas. MoPhereon, County Clerk, Waikato. j
