zda,

Sir,—! have read with interest and attention the
reis,rt you gave in your last ism.. of the above case.
No 401114. it ic 114 good as yon e. old give from the
imperfect statement., made, lnit if ever the feet* igf any
cue. were misrepretented, this i. one. I heatil th
whole evidence and saw the specimen., and ha, e in,
h. sitation in saving that neither the 'Mg« jury
understood the truth .4 the case, it not being it
before them sufficiently clear.
On the first Court day, you will remember, the
defendant and his eolicitor made a long talk about
the black horders not being smooth. Nib% Pool, a
practical japanner him Bristol, then gave evidence
that all will be right in stoning. Mr. Nlittgley, a
practital *tanner if 27 p.m., swore to tin' 14.tInt,
fact., and one fintshed specimen Mr. l'ouncy
riced PrOVP.I time statements of the two proselienl
j,lponn, rs 5.11 notch that defendant and ht. solicitor
said no more about the borders, but put before the
covrt the unfinished articles. Hence the mistake '
made by judge and jiiry. Mr. Ponney had nothing
whatever to do with the finishing : his business la to
Intl pictures on the articles only, and this he had
done and in a ',piper elate for stoving, proved, a. I
have said, by two practictl workmen and •Iso by
specimens in Court. Mr. Nlidgley said he had never
Peen anything like those specimens before, meaning,
of court., with all other honest men -and toren the
dsfeisitant ha. acknowlrsltred it—that Mr. Poonry's
product i.ins are superior to all others ; therefore, they
had seen nothing like it. Again, the statements niade
Iv defendant about packing apply only to finished,

and, front my personal knowledge, Mr. Potincy'a

thi• fact, and if any e•ists priaciieul men are
prepared to finish them now, 311 equally good. but
this fact 'Juni been stifled and misrepresented, the
real truth Wit being known by either jinki. nor jury.
I appeal to you, sir, is it not a fact • i it Mr. l'ouncy •
proiluctions are known by all to be soperior, that he
has surpassed all his fellow workers, and obtained the
highest awards of merit in the Universe? Those
being well•known facts, can you suppose Mr. Pouncy
would be so siinple a.. to risk his name and repaita-

matter 'Publicity through your widely circulated
paper, I sin, sir, yours faithfully,
