REGISTERS S OFFICE,

Vancouver, W. T., May 10, 1867. !
H. PARKER, ESQ., SIR:-Your letter of the
llth, asking me to make statement of facts, in
relation to Mr.. Hull's claim is received answer
as follows:
You sent to me the homestead applications
and afidavits of Messrs. Hull and Burr, with the
necessary funds, but as part of the land claimed
had not been surveyed, or (what is the same
thing) the plats not returned to me- the entry
could not be made, | therefore enclosed the
money and papers in an envelope and endorsed
the facts thereon. 1t so remained for at least
year. did not know Mr. Hull, and considered
you as responsible for the whole thing. You
often have money in my hands, and as you know,
you have often written me, sending business,
and saying "use Of the money you have to my
credit" and this money was so used But Mr.
Hulls claim did not suffer thereby as it was
marked on the plat, and his application, &c. was
in my drawer, and so continued until appica-
tion was made to withdraw it, and then, and not
till then, burnt it; | burnt it because that was
the cheapest way to dispose of it. Ii it had re-
manned until l received the plat of fellowship
No. 6, n. r. 81 East, should have written to
you for the money. | thought nothing of it, as
| have done the same thing before and since, be-
cause | do not like 20 have other peoples money
in my possession, and because his claim was just
as safe without the money here as with it, As
understand the matter, it stands just this way
You sent me the money, and used it for your
purposes, therefore you owe Mr.. Hull the
money. l, of course, know nothing of any bust
ness between you and Mr.. Hull | done the busi-
ness with Mr.. Hull through Mr.. Blewett, and
both of those gentlemen have acted in a kindly
way towards me, and all | can do is to make the
foregoing plain statement
You are at liberty to show this letter to Mr.
Hull, and publish it If youwish l much regret
skok. 4 .ba r
so simple a thing, and trust that any msun,
derstanding will pass away away when the facts
are known. wish it to be distinctly understood
that | considered the money yours, and under
Jour control when used it. Yours, &C.

Cau1ion to the Unfortunate.

Beware Of the San Francisco quacks and pretend
ers who. with bogus sworn certificates dupe the un-
wary. Some OF the self styled Doctors whose nRmes
are TO be found in the daily and weekly newspapers
of san Francisco and other places. are tIadesnen
and became too lazy TO work at their trades. Some
are tnsmiths, shOemakerS, newspaper carr iers in
telligence Office keepers, dc. Look over the San
francisco Directory, and you will not find their
Medical Institutes in it, yuu will find their former
occupations in it. Look at the Directory for 1859
and 1868. The only way to avoid imposition is to
make inquiry-it will cost yOu nothing, and may
save you many regrets: Tor. as advertising physi-
clans in eight out of ten bogus, there
safety in trusting any Of them until you know who
aud what they are. DR.. Gibhon does not deceive
people by exhibiting bogus titles certificates, pre-
