Newspaper Controversy.

Bangor, January 6. Referring to the despatch
of the Associated Press Agent at Augusta, Tues
day evening to the effect that several members Of
the Oxford bar united in contradicting statement
Of the Wing & Courier, concerning notable
error of former clerk Of courts Of that county,
the Wing Of Friday will editorally refute the in
ference conveyed, that its statement was unwar-
ranted, and rc-affrm it W it'll emphasis. The Ok
ford lawyers did not Contradict" the statement
and cannot do 30, as the Wing cites the volume
and page Of the law report giving the case in
which said CLERK erroneously read and recorded as
verdict for plaintiff, verdict returned by the
jury in writing for the defendant The case was
carried to the full bench, and the finding there
was directed entirely to the legal effects of the
erroneous record of the clerk. The case is ia
miliar to well read lawyers in this State. The
Wing depreciates the telegraphing abroad Of ex-
parte statements in purely local controversy,
but is unwilling 10 be thus published as he7ing
made an urfounded assertion.
