WILLIAMS v. CARRICK.
Sm—ln your report of the above-mentioned case, Mr Barton is represented as having dragged my mane into the discussion, imputing to me. most Indescribable baseness. As I have not, and never had anything whatsoever to do with the case (except to obtain, at Messrs Barton and Sfindors's request, the plaintiff's consent to an adjournment), I regard Mr Burton's remarks as unmanly and unwarrantable impertinence, dosignod apparently to prejudice the Court against me In the case still ponding of Carrie!; v. Fyke. Aijd Ido not hesitato to characterise Mr Barton's statements as utter and absoluto falsehoods, devoid of the faintest suspicion of truth. I know, Sir, that theHar is privileged, but tho privilege has of late so degenerated into rude license, that either some limitation must bo imposed thereon, or it ■R'ill become necessary to resort to the argiwientum ad baoulinwn to repress unmannerly;insolence.—l am, &0., TISCKSr PVKE. Duuedin, December 23rd.
