DENIED JUSTICE.
CAPTAIN WRIGHT'S COMPLAINT.
(BT CABLX —PBX9S ASSOCIATION —C9PTSIOHT.) (AUSTBf TTA * AWD CA.BWtf 4B80CIATI0H.)
LONDON, February 11
"For an inadvertent sentence in an obscure book," says Captain Peter Wright, "I am compelled to acquiesce in a torrent of public abuse, persecution, deprivation of livelihood, and expulsion from my club, or wash a great deal of historical linen in public. If I plaved the part of laundryman it was thrust on me. • "Being a pesimist I do not expect justice on this earth ; and consequently I am not disappointed. I consider I have not been treated with the semb lane© of justice by most tribunals, social or legal. Their undisguised, flacrnnt illegality does not vex me. "Constrained by hard necessity to use every available weapon of defence, I could not help violating the ordinarv rules of delicacy and decorum. The profits on my book are under £4O.
