BLYTHE V. BARRY.
Sir, — As it would appear from this morning'a HeraliD that I allowed a very foolish . case to go to Court, I hope you will allow , me to make the following explanation in * the case Blythe and Co. v. Barry. It is true I was without a proper defence, but I was of opinion that such a case would be left to those to decide who would be competent to judge, otherwise the defence would have been different. The facts of the case are as follows : — The dress in question was made a misfit, which Mr Blythe's head dressmaker acknowledged by altering it to try to make it fit; but, being unable to do so, Mr Blythe was requested to keep tho dress and 'have one made of the same material that would fit. But, as he refused to do so, the dress was then brought to one of the head shops in Napier, and the chief dressmaker was asked if the dress was a fit, or if she could make it fit. The reply was— " It does not fit, and it is not possible to make it fit, as it is too small, and I advise to have it returned to the maker." Hence my reason for letting it go to Court. If necessary I can prove the above statement. By the insertion of the above you will much oblige — Yours truly, John Barry. August 21, 1878.
