ESPAGNE V. BAYLY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
Sir, — Your report of the case Espagne v. E. Bayly, in Saturday's issue of your paper, tends, in my opinion, to mislead the public as to Mr. Bayly's objections. Why not state that ho pleaded the Tippling Act, and so get off paying for his beer; and that he also disputed two or three items of " cash lent," because I had not taken his I O U for the amounts, as formerly? — lam, &c, Theod. Espagne. j July 19, 1800. ! [The above letter has been unavoidably held over. Mr. Bayly did not plead the Tippling Act, but the Bench stated that Mr. Espagne could not sue for the amounts set down for drinks. The Bench further stated that it was a case of one man's evidence against anothor. Our space will not admit of reporting every police court case in full; but the assertion, in our report, that the defendant " denied some of the items in the bill of particulars," was strictly correct. It is Mr. Espagne who attempts to mislead the public, and not our z-eporter. The plaintiff and defendant were all the same to him ; therefore, he could have no object whatever in misleading the public, as Mr. .Espagne insinuates. — Ed. Star.]
