JUDGMENT SUMMONSES.
TO THE EDITOH. Sir,—l would like to say, in reply to the letter signed "Fair Play," with reference to your article of 13th mat, that at least one hundred business men with whom I have come in contact 6in.ee tho publication of the article referred to are of the one opinion, namely, that your comment was long called-for, and is certain to do more good than some people may imagine. "Fair Play" makes a ridiculous statement when he asserts that if the debtor has tho money and doe 3 not pay, he can be 6ent to prison. There is no doubt whatever in most cases if the debtor who has tho money and refused to pay was sent to prison, it would generally deprive Mr. HascHen of the opportunity of refusing to make an order. "Fair Play"' also states he offered to pay a creditor £1 a month, which was refused. Had he produced the pound, instead of the promise to pay that sum, it is beyond question any creditor would bo only too pleased to have reduced "Fair Play's" liability from £3 to £2, thereby saying all extra costs and loss of valuable time.—l am, etc., W. H. BOWDEN Kaiwanra, 17th May.
