GROVE'S GRAB.

TO THE EDITOR

Sir, As la m a constant reader tof your, valuable independent, paper laskI ask permission for a small \ space I bought a house from Mr James 2SK f f n > situa »m Words! vrorth-street, on the 31st-,. 0 f October, iS? i+ 1 ? aid him £5 ° as a deposit' and I took possession, or, said house 22? an +^ a S ree pent to ."pay anotiiei £50 on., the 26th of April, 1906 m the meantime I lost the copy of the agreement and did not find it until *wo days after the second. £50 became due. I received a letter fromthe vendor's solicitors, telling me they were taking possession of the house. I went and offered them the purchase money, an<J. they refused to t * k ?, 1 - t -' * also ■wrote to Mr Grove, of Marton, and -fee did not reply to my letters, asking him to accept the purchase money. He told me m person afterwards, that he would not accept the purchase money. I served a writ on him m the Supreme Court, and the Chief Justice decided m favor of Grove, with costs against me. Now, Sir, I ask how is a poor man going to/make a home for himself and family If this is the law of the country ? It is very hard indeed for a man to lose fifty pounds and the house also.— Yours, etc., THOMAS O'NEILL. : Wellington, Sept. 5.
