HENRY VERNON, alias THE NOMINEE M.L.C. fTIHE letter signed " Henry Vernon," published in JL the * Southern Cross,' of this day's date, would not have received any notice from me had it not come to my certain knowledge that throughout the proceedings against Forester Vernon has been the nominal, and a Nominee M.L.C. the real ptosetfutor. Vernon'o reason for not having accepted the £20 is thus accounted for— j he got more from the Nominee ; besides, I have it from the most reliable information, that immediately the sentence was pasted on Forrester, Vernon ran do wn to the office of the Nominee, and got his cash, with an exclamation from the Nominee not fit for publication. The Nominee's conduct as here described may, to many, appear incredible ; but those persons who know the man, and what he may gain in purse by the imprisonment of Forrester, may not be so sceptical ; and I only ask time to collect and publish such facts as will convince every one. The ungrammatical language pointed out by Vernon and his friend the Nominee (caused probably by mistake of the printer) comes with very bad grace from the illustrious Nominee ; and to convince the public, and the Honorable gentltman himself, of the fact, I will publish a score of the Nominee's letters, or literary ' productions, and name * place where the originals can be inspected. The remark in Vernon's letter about witness Foord is in character with Vernon. Foord was reprimanded or lectured by the Magistrate ; and, at the time, I imagined he was known to th« Coui t to be a man of Vernon'a stamp, and consequently required to be cautioned about his evidence ; but, from inquiries since instituted, I am convinced that Foord was the witness ! of truth, and that it was the first time he had been in a witness box. I published the evidence to shew to the public, what I believed to be the case, namely, — that the sentence was severe ; and, in doing so, felt compelled to notice the character of Vernon, as obtained frcra the police authorities, lest his evidence might mislead. I am now, however, satisfied that, besides Vernon's evidence, a Nominee's influence has had a great deal to do with the case. J. S. Macfaklane. Auckland, May 7th, 1858.
