A WITHDRAWAL.—JACKSON v. BROWN.
TO THE EDITOB. Sib, —I chill deem it a favour if you will kindly publish the attached correspondence relating to the remarks made by Mr Eraser concerning myself. I think, Sir, you will agree with me th»t it is to be regretted that such remarks can be made by lawyers under the protection of privilege.—l am, &c, A. Louie.
Dunedin, February 18, 1896.
J. F. M. Frasar, Esq. Dear Sir,— Referring to the Star report of your remarks regarding myself in the case Jackson v. Brown, and your statement that the report is an incorrect ODe, I learn from several sources that you undoubtedly mode some disparaging remarks concerning my reputation. I have until now been under the impression that you, of all men in Dunedin, would, if necessary, have testified to my integrity. Why you should have gone oat of your way to attack me I cannot understand, but since you have done so, I must ask you to eitherpublish your remarks or publicly withdraw them.—Youre, 4c., A. Loeie.
Dear Mr Lorie,—l received your note this morning on my arrival at the office. You, of course, saw ray line to the Star. It is only fair to say that I have no reason whatever to question your integrity. We have not come much in contact, but on the few occasions that we have met in business you have not been guilty of any conduct that would justify adverse criticism. It should be quite clear to all that what I meant was that no ordinary trading firm was justified in not returning an 1.0.TJ. when demanding payment of the subject matter of the 1.0. U. That Mr Caraw did not take my view of the position is another matter altogether. It ia now patent to you, I hope, that I did not intend to make an attack on you. It is not my habit to make attacks that are not justified, although I do not shrink from doing ao, oblivious of all other considerations, when I consider that I am justified, and that my client's interests would suffer if I did not do ao.—Yours truly, John F. M. Fraser,
