AN EXPLANATION. TO THE EDITOR.
Sir — It seems that yesterday Mr. H. Eyre Kenny, Stipendiary Magistrate, sentenced my client, Mr. W. N. Jacobs, to one month's imprisonment for disobedience of a maintenance order sued on by Miss AgneS Young, and a publication to that effect appeared in your columns las* night. As such publication is calculated tr seriously injure my client in his business, I must, in fairness to him and to myself, explain that I was informed late on Tuesday afternoon that the Stipendiary Magistrate would *be sitting at the Lower Hutt Court yesterday (Wednesday), and that all cases to be tried by him must, as a matter of course, be adjourned for a week, and that consequently it was wholly unnecessary for myself or my client to appear yesterday. So, in our absence, through a mistake (the complainant appearing), judgment went by default. An application, to be heard to-morrow (Friday), 10th instant, has been filed for cancelling the order and for the rehearing of the case and cancelling the warrant. — I am, etc., E. L. Burgess. Solicitor for W. N. Jacobs. Wellington, 9th February, 1899. .
