[advertisement.] CRAIG Y. MACFARLANE. To the Editor of the New Zealand Heab«.d. SIR,— In giving my evidence in the Supremo Court, on Monday last, to Mr Hesketh's questions, I said to him, " You and your firm have done all in |you could to rum me by keeping the deeds of my wife's property 111 your office for over one year and nine months \» lthout registration, and by conveying tho best portion to J. S. Macfarlane without mj knowledge." Mr Heskcth denied it, and challenged me to prove it. I accept tho challenge with all my heart. The particulars are as iollow : — On the 20th May, 1870, Mr Lascelles, solicitor, made out a deed, at my request, conveying four farms to my wife, Sarah Craig, when I was all right and out of debt and worth over £20,000 all clear. 1 sigvied the deed in Mr Lascelles' office on tho 27th May, 1870, in the presence of Mr J. Burtt, as trustee. Mr Lascelles having to go to the Thames to manage Mr R. Graham's estate, called with me at Messrs Heskcth and Richmond's office, about the beginning of June, 1870, and handed Mr Richmond the deed, in my presence, saying, " I have searched the Registry Office and found all correct ; you have nothing to do but register them." I went to the Registry Office yesterday, and had the deeds m my hand, and found they were not registered till the 27th March, 1872— just one year and ten months to a day. In tho month of March, 1872, my son, Hugh Craig, when he saw how things were going to ruin, aiked his mother how much property she had. She replied, " I have the two allotments corner of Grahamo and Hardinge streets, conveyed to me in 1866, and tho farms at Tiuiranga." Me said, " Are you sure ?" His mother replied, "Your fatlur conveyed them to me." Hugh Craig made enquiries in March 1872, and found the farms were not registered. He enquired the reason. Mr Richmond said, " I have no money." Hugh Craig thero and then gave him £5. I have Mr Richmond's receipt for^ tho same. To show the untruthfulness of Mr Richmond's reply, I itate, and can prove, ho received in cash £70 in the month of June, 1870, viz , from a native called Rdmi, hullrbrother to the late William Thompson, Native King, £50 ; 30th June, clicquo Bank of New Zealand, £20 ; 16th July, ditto, ditto, £25; Bth September, d'tto, ditto, £2-I— in all £119. Let the public ' understand that I signed an agreement about the 12th July, 187J, written by Mr Richmond, and signed in his office, and registered in tuo Supreme Court. From that date lam held harmless from nil law expenses whatever relating to the Wangapoa law case. Th s is the deed referred to w hen I was conveying in trust to Mr J. S. Macfarlane about thirty farms on the East Coast Tauranga district, along with about four thousand acres timber land. It was in this deed that the best part of my wife's property was improperly included. Among 10 many deeds I did not notice this one. This is tho farm that the generous, liberal, and open-minded gentleman, Mr J. S. Macfarlane, conveyed to my wife (her'own property) when he was compelled by another solicitor. This ii the farm that he has boasted of so much to his friends of what he has done, and told Mrs Craig, in hi* own office, he th. u 'lit ho had done enough ior the Craig family. There are' more matters I wdlreier to, and mention them in connection with Mr Richmond s office When I uas about to sign the largo deed referred to, 12th July, 187O : I think about thirty to forty pages, it stated it was a bona fide salo. I obiocted to sign it, and took it away for about two.days. I showed it to Mr J. Burtt. He said, " You must not sign it in that form." Mr Burtt went with me to Mr Richmond's office. I then said, "I will not sign it in that form" Mr Richmond replied (or woids to this effect), "As the deed is done sign it ; wo all know and uudersUnd that it is by way of trust : and when you cat. pay Mr J. S. M.-.c-farlano you will get back your pioperty. 1 w iU give you a letter to this effect, signed by Mr J. 8. Macfarlane-" I signed the deed, but to this day I have received no such etter. Often has Mr Richmond and Mr Thomas MaclfarJane said I never would have back the mill. I ftm Balls fi e d that was intended. Let your readers judge. There aie many moie mstteis like tin,, but 1 will not touch on them at prasent. All I want from Mr J S Macfuhne is -and I Live demanded it twice through the Supreme Couit— a true account of the books, according to the agreement signed and registered in tho Supreme Court, and I will pay him the balance, if any. TJIOMAS CPvAKJ. July 31, 1873.
