To the Bettor of TJns rose: Dean Sm,—You will pardon me foe so much space over this sohool question, but itis of importance to your merlon to know the truth, and the Trustees and In- speoter appear to want satisfaction for losing the ogee by abyeing the Oot toil and Clerk. Tho report was through ',he township that if the Trustees gained the case the Iuspootor would have five or six new school houses next year, hence we San see the cause of the Inspector's ver- sion. I sent a copy of A. Z,'s tette^ to Justice Meredith and received the fol. lowing reply :— Toronto, Nov. 23, '07 Jobe C. Morrison, Winthrop P. 0., Ont. Re S. S. 0, Township of Molii lop. Sm,—Justioe Meredith has reque toed me to write to you in reply to your letter to him of the 8th inst., enclosing a nt ws- papsr nutting with reference to the al eve case, The Judge asked me to send yen. a copy of snob notes as I took of the else when it was argued on the 18th of Oat. last, I being thea present as the Law Society Reporter. Unfortunately Il ave only a very short note. It is as follows : "Aylesworth, Q. 0., for the Trustee,. of S. S. No. 0, moved for a mandamus re. quiring the Counoil of the township to pass a by.law authorizing the issue of de- bentures to raise the suns of $990.00 for the erection of a school house for the S. S., such sum to be repaid out of the funds of the S. S. The Council refi sed the demand of the Trustees because it was nob shown that the ratepayers of the section had assented to the amount re- quired, though they had, at a ea tool meeting, assented to a requisition b-ang mule for funds to erect the school ho iso. Shepley, Q. C., for the Township Ot un- cfl, opposed the motion. Motion refn fed. No order as to caste." Justice Merelith also direobs me to say that the "rep irt" which the newspaper nutting purporte to give is quite unauthorized and inaccurate. I return the newspaper cutting. Your obedient servant, EDWARD B. Bnowe." Mr. Robb now comes out from the shelter of Editors and from under ower of A. Z. and etarte by showing a Melo knowledge of Latin. He gives no i '1t5 for Mr. Aylesworth's letter. A. Z. aid he published a report of the Judge's de. damn, now it is Mr. Aylesworth's version. He admits the other was not what he said it was. Your readers can easily sea that if this is a correct copy, Mr. Ay'os• worth wishes to make the best show nes- sibls of a bad case. I can hardly bel eve that Mr. Aylesworth world adopt a tab beetles as attributed to him. Mr. Rabb reports that Mr. Aylesworth said the Judge made the statement that the T. us - tees would get their costs out of the 100 - tion funds. Mr. Shepley stated posit ve• ly that he said no Snob thing and the above report says the same. Your read- ers can judge. A. Z. said the lesson of censure was for the others, meaning Council and Clerk. Mr. Robb now (de- claims all intention to injure the Council or Clerk. What was his motive over 3. Z ? What is his motive now in publish- ing a private letter, written years alto ? I challenge him to state for what other purpose he garbles my private letters 'int to injure me with the ratepapers of those Sections, as I am dependent on the rt le. payers far my office. He also tries to convey the idea that I wrote the letters recently, and a friend of the Trustees cast up tome, in a crowd, before it ap• peered in print, that I had written A. Z. a letter this Summer and it would he published. How did they know 10r, Robb was A. Z. 7 I will now expl tin that letter as far as I mu reoolleot ; I kept no Dopy and forgot all about it. I do not know whether I received en answer. A few years ago a petition v':te presented to the Connell to form 'he Sections out of 8 and 9. The Com ell took no action and as the leader in the matter died before the June meeting of County Council, it was dropped. the County Council would have been askse to appoint an arbitration, as those Secbi, us were large and had, by the assessor's rill, over 80 children in each Section. Sone wanted a union then with Grey, as we now have ; No. 9 had two teachers previ- ous to tkis. I wrote my opinion to 1 Ir. Robb, as I thought three Sections rbh one teaoher each better than two we h four and better than a union, as me w. Expecting his opinion respecting the same, I do not remember if I received in, as I did not mark the letter private. 14:r. Robb knew it was and admits now thee it was private. Just let your readers think of the meanness of publishing a private letter, written several years ee(o, to injure a man 1 What an example for school children, and Mr. Robb is ign'tr• ant" of his own ''ignorance" or he world nob be guilty of it. ' Hon. Israel Ta+ to scorns to do snob a thing with his hitt m- eso foe ; e man guilty of it is nob fib to carry entrails to a bear. In like man010 he gives away the private opinions of gentlemen who may not have given ttte matter any thought, or else did nob wish to crush Mr. Robb's vanity, Why does not Mr. Robb keep to the law and the prophets ? He says no declaration is re- quired under the School Act. Where does the School Aot say Trustees are to apply for a mandamus? Where fn t"ie School Aot is it that the doors on all school rooms must open outward ? See. Hon 397, Municipal Aot 1892, made 75 follows :—"Every arbitrator, before en ce reeding to try the matter of the arbitta• tion, shall take and subscribe the folio v Mg oath (or affirmation) before neer Justice of the Pease." Then follows 1" ie oath. The preceding and following e. o. time apply to appointment and precede e, as the municipalities appointed the re. bitrators under this Act, and it is under .Lotthey have their authority to ant. He 6a11s me an obscure clerk in his let- tere in four papers. At least I will sure' ly nob be obscure. I did nob dictate, as he says, to Judge Meredith. Justioe Meredith never censured the Counoil oe Cleric, nor said anything about costs, '15 A. Z. says. Mr, Robb says I have a per. niotons habit of intermeddling in matters outside of my dutiese. I challenge him to state any intermeddling on my part. Ire ltnewe no more about my duties than be does about hie own. Was ft hie duty to meddle in this queetiou ab all or publi what Jttabice Meredith calls a fated i'e. port 7 Was it big duty to advise the Ghristrnats verco gro Dec, 10, 1897 We give a splendid opportunity to secure an Overcoat as a Christmas Present, We bo from ')ne of the largest manufacturers in Montreal at Greatly Reduced Prices, We had to t. here .s the way we are going to sell them :-- OFFER NO. 1.
