Dae.a Srn,—I see by your issue of Feb, 15th, E, E. Wade has taken in hand to, re- ply to my letter of Feb. Lith, and also to oentradiot the same. He charges it to my ignorance in not knowing that it was us who pot the estate of the late James Purvis into Chancery. Now, Mr. Wade, es I do not claim to be a paragon of wisdom, Snell ae I believe you to bo, my ignorance wig PerhaPerhaps be overlooked, if, as you say, I did ps ignorantly; but if you will pay attontinn for a few minutes I will try to explain to you how it happened that my wife was com- pelled to pursue the course she did. About the latter and of November, or first of De- cember, whom yon (Mr Wade) were apply- ing to the Courts for leave to mortgage the said estate, as you say, to enable David Purvis to pay my wife, and ntbar legacies, we were both satisfied, and willing that you ehon)d do so, but about that time, WO 'wenintern-loci, on good authority, on. *Melt we coned depend, (the person who told ns bad it from David Purvis' own lips) that you (Mr. Wade) were going bo raise all the foamy you would on the estate, and hand it into David's bands, and when ho got the money David saki lie was nn,ng to call a sale, sell off everything that was en the 111aeo, and that with what money you (Mr. Wade) had sotefor him on the estate, and the 5560 of sale notes which be had in his possession, ho tvould then have more money than his share of tho farm would come to at any rate, and that he and his unolo, Alexander Nichol, were going over to Ilan• see, or some miter fine cnontry, where. his nude was going to leave ltim safe with his money. Now, that tboi wag a swindle cn foot I have not the least hesitation in soy ing, but whether or not Mr. Wade was aware of, or in any way connected with the swindle, I am linable to say, as I have no information on that point. Of course it wcas ?sir. Wade's business to get the money for David, hat it not his business after- wards to enquire what David did with the money. Nem, Mr. Wada, I do not pretend to know much law, but 111 tem sante time 31 know teals much, earl you (Air. Wads) full well know the same, that if David hod got off with the money, which 1 lineoono doebt Ile would had ho not been stopped in time, that Icy wife could navor elver a wreond action, and therefore would have Kenn swindled out of bol' money altogether, Now T. will toll you, Mo. Wade, what WO d11 101 the matter wbcn we foetid glut how things were going on. Wo wrote to our Solicitors and told them about tho swindlo anee also that tvo had no confidence in the way things euro being done, and, as T acid before, I do not pretend to understand law, we instruct - 0(1 them to go ahead In their own way, ex dley netteretood boat what 20111 to be done.
