And hers I may add that very much to my auguries,
and also to Nu wonder of others, as I happened to be
in Court, my name was among other, reed out by Mr.
liugteble, whom I presume must be acting as
solicitor for the said C. Greening and others. And
findift, as! do, that the above use still remains in an

well as the a:Joustee on both sidw of the matter now
before them, to clearly and honestly believe me whoa
I stare that I never ono* was asked permission shim
by Mr. Greening or any others to sllo• my name to
be brought Into either/ • County Court as it has beep
to-day, or given into • solloitor 4 haada to be used aa
helping to secure an end or object, which I can
sioeirrily say I know nothing whatever about, and
neither do I aspire to, or seek snob an honour. While
I •ro writing let me say that st • priblio meeting held
in the Temperance Hall some three week. • among
other, I bawd my name rcal out by Mr. C. Greenii g
so having been elected or, the committee for the

himself and with hi. neighbours. Ido nut mean to
imply that it is incumbent upon any one always to
declare their opinions. Stall, I think an open

worthy than the spirit that leads a man to attend a

alone an I in darknese occupy • sido room listening

his Portland friends, and could induce them ti
