Mr Freebody.
To tin Folitor oj the StamUird,
Sir, — 1 nui pl'affil to ice by e icb inaiu "f y<mr journal that you aie ventil'liM,' : ml trying to bring heft re tin* public uotioo lltfi unfortunate circumstances tint have evidently deprived an innoci nt nm i <■! hf< IhsTty. I allude to (1. FreeLoJy, who at present undergoing tentcnce in tlie W. lliugton ganl for supposed call stealing. If the jury had perused as I have done the highly totUjdimcnturv notice that he received through the local paper of his native town before leaving England on behalf of his tenants (for he owned and let from ten to a dozen houses), and from the public generally, 1 think they would have hesitated and seiiously rellected whether a man bearing such a high public and private character would be guilty of tbu mean aud paltry offence of stealing three calves worth about £1 each. I am, W. 8. Wakkus.
