CORRESPONDENCE
{Th the Editor. I
—Sir, —Mr Watt still carefully refrains from clearing up the aliened case of mistaken identity, as he might do, by teling us who the real offender was. On tW other hand he himaelf kindly provides crowning proof of the nonoocurrrence of the alleged incident by supplying tie names of the only witnesses who oasne alter me —Messrs Duncan, McKee, and Xx>we —not one of whom would the particulars of the fairy story lit. There was a break in the proceedings after my evidence had been given, during which the plans for the rest of the day were discussed, though Mr Watt is welcome to make what capital he can out of the fact that it was not a luncheon adjournment. For the rest, I have yet to loam that a man can make altogether baseless charges before a considerable audience and then expect to escape the consequences merely by expressing regret in the hearing of about half a dozen people. I am, etc. F. G. GIBBS.
