C-Itio for the following memos :—As an act of
justice to one whom you unfairly denounce; as a stop
towards purifying public advocacy from the ODO of an-
just personal aommotion for the purpose of suiting Or

upon him to acknowledge his fault, and he was not

I will stay here only to observe about "a pool
agricultural labourer." that Ills not true'
, that ft is
nig relevant ; thst it is • pitiful whine ; that no John
Bull Botglisinnan would deed the poverty of his
position to ke out the truth of his words; that this

Working Man, who stands up for the honour of his
word, sad wants DO discount off proof on Ow ground of
his working for hie living.
