LDAIUND OMER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As Mr. Edmund Oilier cannot make out a
case for his client, Mr. Durham, he forthwith pro-
cee,ls, in accordance with ancient practice, to

" abuse the plaintiff !" The facts in. dispute, so far

as they relate to the proceedings of the committee
and Mr. Durham's conduct, are precisely as I

stated in my former letter, and therefore need not
now be recapitulated. Mr. Oilier is entitled to draw
what deductions he pleases from them. I don't
grudge him his opinion, opposed as it is to common
sense and fact ; but, as I am personally assailed
and placed in au awkward position by Mr. Oilier,
I cannot allow the imputations he• has cast upon
me to remain unanswered. I confess, had I been
aware that the use of the word " unwisely," in my
former letter, would luve been felt so keenly by
Mr. Oilier, I would have employed some other and
milder term, inasmuch as the whole matter in dis-

pute is a question of fact, and not opinion. Ido
not think, however, the epithet " unwisely" jus-
tifies Mr. Oilier in forgetting what is due from one
gentleman to another; or in making a violent
attack on my honour at the cost of his own. Ile
quotes a passage from a letter written by Mr. Walter
Leigh Hunt, on the 28th October, quite regardless

of the fact that that letter is marked " private" by
its writer—quite ignoring the fact that the purpose
of Mr. Hunt's letter was to protest in the strongest
terms against Mr. 011ier's course of action ; and ig-
noring also that the verypassage Mr.ollier quotes
in support of his views was withdrawn in a letter
to Mr. Oilier written prior to the date of Mr.

011ier's letter of the 6th. Mr. Hunt, in his letter which
Mr. Oilier does not quote, says—" I cannot be sure
of my chronology." As regards-my being impli-
cated iu the attempt to raise more money, I may
explain what Mr. Oilier very well knows, that after
the meeting of the committee broke up on the 26th
of October last, my father-in-law and I did our
utmost to persuade Mr. Oilier not to carry out his
intention to raise more money. Mr.ollier's invariable
reply was that the committee had resolved to do
it, he had consented to carry out their resolution,
and therefore there was no alternative for him.
I saw that it was useless to continue the
argument, as it was the first time we had met
on friendly terms since we had had a con-
troversy on another point, I preferred to yield
for the nonce (especially as he was my guest),
lest ho should imagine there was any trace
of the old resentment in my feelings towards
him. When he settled down to draw up the
circular, he began it with the words—" Owing to a
mis-calculation on the part of the committee." I
protested warmly against them, as I thJught it un-
fair to throw on the committee and myself the onus
of Mr. Durham's change of mind and its cons,:-
quences ; and Mr. Oilier drew up another form,
which I assented to with the best grace I could.

Anxious to show my good feeling towards himself
personally—though I dissented from his course of
action, as he very well knew—l gave him the names
and addresses of subscribers most likely to contri-
bute, and my father-in-law male soul.; copies of the
letter for him. Next day, on relating what occur-
red in committee, it was pointed out to me that un-
less it were publicly known that I had ref used to col-
lect more money, and why, Mr. 011ier's taking upon
himself the office of treasurer would imply censure or
distrust of me on the part of the committee, and I
decided to send to the papers, as I had always done
on former occasions, a report of the proceedings of
the committee. This report Mr. Oilier saw, and
stopped the publication of in one quarter, and it
did not appear anywhere until the 31st. Mr. Oilier
did call on ins on the 28th, and we had a dis-
cussion about Mr. Durham's conduct. To the
charge of " violence" on my part at that interview,
I have n .thing to say beyond that it is untrue
—as those who know me will readily be-
lieve. However, I did not name the re-
ports I had sent out to Mr. Oilier, the remem-
brance of them having escaped during our dis-
cussion ; and on my mentioning them after he left,
the friend who was present said there was "no
obligation to tell him." I replied, "If they
do not appear to-morrow I will mention them to
Oilier in a letter." They did not appear, and in
the first letter I wrote to Mr. Oilier I named them,
and, as it happened, before they appeared in print
anywhere. I fail to see how my conduct in the
matter can be censurable ; except, perhaps, my
having had a nervous anxiety on the evening of the
gnu, 1,,Q, rauey I had not Imripd thr,
hatchet as deep as he had been led to suppose.
My chid fault was, I believe, a desire fur " peace
at any price." Certainly Ido not think my
conduct—at the utmost an error iu judgment—war-
rants a- charge of secret treachery ; for that is the
sum and substance of Mr. 011ier's letter. At any rate
Ihave violated no confidences. I have neither quoted
passages from a friend's " private" letter, nor par-
taken of a man's hospitality, and then rushed
into print to state what took place within
his private circle. Mr. Oilier has done both, and I
can assure him that it is not the practice among
gentlemen to do either. 1 am content for your
readers to judge between us. Before I saw
his letter in your paper to-day, I wrote him
that any reply of mine to a letter of his must
be friendly. I have repudiated personal feeling
throughout this painful matter—but the contents
of his letter (which I thought would only traverse
the statements made in your paper of the sth) are
such as no man with a spark of self-respect could
submit to in silence. Mr. Oilier charges me with
condemning Mr. Durham, and then trying him.
This is untrue. It is also equally untrue to say
that I voluntarily applied to Mr. Durham for his
vouchers. I did so only when Mr. Oilier taunted
me with " ignorance" and "mismanagement" on the
score that I did not know how Mr. Durham had spent
the £l5O. I wrote for Mr. 011ier's satisfaction, and
Mr. 011ier's alone. I knew Mr. Durham had made
over £5O profit out of what he agreed to do for
nothing, and my statement of the facts was sub-
stantially the same at the meeting of the 26th Oc-
tober last as in my letter in your columns of the sth.
I have never varied one iota. The facts are not of
my creation, and I abide by the record of them
givenin my former letter. If they were coral?)
Judice I could swear positively to each one, and
produce confirmatory testimony, if indeed their very
sequence does not render them self-confirmatory.
If Mr. Oilier cannot understand the objection to
quoting publicly a passage from a letter marked " pri-
vate," and subsequently withdrawn, nor that, from a
good motive, I may, with consistency and good faith,
help him individually in a matter which, whether
• he obtains my assistance or not, he will proceed in,
and yet take public action myself, antagonistically
to his proceedings, I utterly despair of mak-
ing him comprehend the A B C of the
matter in dispute. I have explained to him that
had I been aware he would be so much hurt by
the sending out of the reports (the veracity
of which he has had at least the grace not
to question) they never should have gone from
my office, although on every former occasion, but
one, I had sent reports without consulting Mr.
Oilier. The last were written with a view to make
my own position clear to the public, ,and to prevent
persons from subscribing more money in ignor-
ance of the facts which Mr.= 011ier's circular letter
did not give, therefore deceiving those to whom
it was addressed. If the mere relation of what
took place in committee made my position clear
and honourable, and his at the least but question-
able, the fault lay in his occupation of it,
- and not my making the simple facts known.
. My sole desire is that truth and justice shall
prevail; and, no matter what personal annoy-
ances I may have to encounter, I will never
yield one tittle where those great principles are at
stake. And now, sir, I trust I have taken leave of
this painful subject, so far as the press is concerned.
In my former letter I did but question Mr. 011ier's
" wisdom ." and,despitethenewly-established entente
cordiale between us, he has thought proper in reply
publicly to asperse my honour. In this letter I have
been obliged to apply the In quoque argument with
greater force and truth than I wish had been pos-
sible. The next cause he defends I hope will be a
. better one, though it might easily have a better
advocate.

I am, Sir,_ yours faithfully,
S. R. TOWNSIIEND MAYER.
25, Norfolk street, Strand, W.C.,
Nov. 8, 18G9.
the Lth inst.—the day before he wrote
the letter I now answer—l wrote Mr. Oilier a
letter I challenge him to publish. That he should
not think I was writing about him behind his
back, I sent him a copy of 7he Sun containing
my last letter—just as, loving fair play, I sent
Mr. Durham your leader on the subject. Although
they were Quixotic acts I do not regret them.
