folly explain my podtion as • anialbut to the chards'
both originally sad now, and how this Mr. Decant was
mixed up with it. In my WO to you of February

WM erected fourteen years since, from my designs, and
under my Inspection;a that I have made all the decline

gestions for the terstions of the church, at present in
progress ; and that I have been in constant ammonia'.
tioo with the Rev. J. Seepbesson, the isonsubent, as
the architect. Now, as regard these maiden, I cannot
be ' under any mistake.' I think having made these
drawings, he., must make me the architect. To save
travelling expenses and look after the unstruotion, a
local man was to be employed, 'to reprintend the
execution of the work;' and Mr. Bennett has thus been
brought into connexion with the church. Ido not
question what he msy be, or if be is or is sot an
architect, as I heard of him before this; but his
claims in this ease are not justifiable, and, on principle
and honesty alone, I am bound to defend myself, or
else there is no architect who has • clerk of works em-
ployed under him but may he subject to the mime
iujuitice. If Mr Bennett had built (Marshes, or was
capable of doing so, why was not be engaged? Even
the working drawings and spedliestions seem to have
been beyond his cepselty. Mr. Stepherisoo's letters of
the following dates mann my assertions. Jemmy
94, 1867, I was applied to es architect 'to prepare all
elevations, working drawings, specification, and an
entire set of plans needful for carrying out the work,
heaving the supervision of the Meal building to a
person to lie appointed for the per-pose, Isfeemos, of
course, to be mad* to you should any dielculties arias
during th• progress of the works in carrying out your
plans.' I presume that • person' was to ewe my designs
serried out in their integrity.' Apia (July 10, 1887),
Whet we went is this, that the pleas, drawings, he.,
mentioned in my lest letter he prepared by you in nth
• way, that the work of enlacement can be carried out
aosording to them by a pens we appoint to superin-
tend the building ; and that you shall be reepontible for
accuracy, prutimbility, and completeness ot the plus
and drawings.' A gain (July, 1867), 'We shall not require
you to superintend the work or make up aooounta. We
want the specillestion, designs, drawings, to., he.; in
feet, a perfect eet of plane and papers the same as you
supply were the work placed solely In your bands.'

plans and specification that we may get tenders.'
November 20, 1867.—" Will you send the working
drawings as speedily es possible? They are mush
vented.' I could give esthetes of other letters to the
same effect; butt think there is quite enough to prove
my assertions and nullify Mt false pi...-. stone of Mr.
Bennett; besides, es it fa tot a matter of resent
