TIMARU MAGISTRATES’ COURT.
[To the Editor.]
Sin, —Please allow me, in justice to myself, to correct some statements mads in your issue of yesterday, in the case Moody v. Webster, First the goods were supplied in 1884, not 1883. You state the plaintiff transferred all hi* supply from Anderson to roe. Anderson’s passbook showed such was not the case. The plea for the defendant was accurately stated. Yon state His Worship said he was of opinion (hat the plaintiff’s version of the affair was the correct one. This statement implies that what I stated was false, and X cannot allow it to go forth without pro. test. I understand that His Worship gave judgment on the ground that if plaintiff supplied me with more goods than I required, I was to blame in taking them ; that I was in fault in not having a proper agreement between plaintiff and myself. On that 1 am satisfied, but I hold no man has a right to be accused of telling falsehoods unless be is prepared to prove them, as the above statement seems to convey, —I am, &c., E. Webster.
