THE CASE OF MYERS AGAINST MGILL.

To the Edttor Of the Tribune.
Sir: The letter signed by the defendants lawyers
in the case Of Theodore W. Myers ct al against George
W. McGll can only be rcconced with the facts upon
the theory that some person has manufactured a
judgment roll" and improperly fled it with the
clerk of the City Court. A judgment was docketcd
in the City Court OF this city March 20, 1855,
wherein said Myerss firm was plaintiff and McGnl
was defendant. for 1895 40 against the defendant.
The Judgment reoitos that the rial held by
Judge Ptschke and bis Is signed to the Judgment
The answer of the defendant file alleges that
the plaintiff falsely and frauduently' induced him
to buy some Erie stock With intent to "cheat and
dcfraud' the defendant. The judge tried the issues
thus raised and attached to the judgment roll are the
specific finding of facts and conclusions Of law.

The little Hindu maiden hearda voice amid the

OF singing streams and rustling leaves, in
groves IN Gun2amaul:
It Swept aiooe the mountain wind down to the
Western sea-
Heaven whispering 10 the listening earth;
Truth, like the air. is Free
That word had winged her fathers feet nom
lettering caste away,
To give his nedglings liberty for flight in ampler
day
SO the maiden grew.
70 reach Of thought and insight clear no dim
zenana knew.
Child of the lone Ghaut Mountains. flower OF
midas wilderness.
She knows that God unsealed her lips her sis
tiers dumb to bless;
Gave her the clew to bring them forth from
where they blindly grope:
Babe her unlock their dungeon doors. and light
the lamps Of hope.
Br.vest Of Hindu widows: how dare We look at
thee.
So fearless in loves liberty. and say that We are
free!
We. who have heard the voice of Christ. and
yet remain the slaves
Of Incidence and seiashness, iElmured in living
graves.
J, Ramabai may We not share thy task. almost

Thy cause is womanhoQd's, is Christ's own work
