CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor op the «' Evening Mail." Sib,— Will you allow me through youf columns to address the following letter To Mb Faibp_,at. Sib— ln seeking to ascertain the truth is it customary to accept as final the evidence of those to whom the slightest suspicion of having an interest to suppress it may attach ? Is it safer to accept hearsay evidence than the testimony of an eye witness ? Your letter • proves that you believe it to be so, and this is the outcome of your belief. Instead of being ; just you are slanderous, instead of eliciting the truth you have propagated a lie. If you wish to return to the paths of rectitude and retain your no n, de plume go and interview Sergt. Nash and Mr Reuben Bird junior, publish the result of your investigations, then retire to your closet, ponder over your folly, and pray for future guidance. I remain, Sir, . . with whatever respect is due to you, J. L.
