The following is a copy of a letter sunt to the Huron Expositor this week. It speaks for itself and needs no comment from us : – "To the .Editor of the Expositor. "Dean Snt.—My attention has recently been called to an item, under the head of Bluevala cor- respondence, appearing in your paper and signed "Watchman," assuming to correct nu account in Tan Simms Pose of the trial of my son, Thomas Jackson, for arson, held at Wroxoter on August 18th. I °linnet but fool that in view of the fact that your paper circulates very largely in the County of Huron and is much read by the class from whish the jury, who will try this ease whim it really comes to trial, will bo drawn, you have boon guilty of n very grievous wrong in publishing (es I must asonme without inquiry) an account which is malic- iously false, of a matter yet ponding before oar Courts and have thereby not only pre- judicted my son in the trial he bas to un- dergo but rendered yourself liable to a pro- secution for contempt of Court in comment- ing, as you do, through your correspondent, upona matter yet before it. Without going into the various facts in evidence, which will be properly brought out at the proper Sine, I ask you, in view of the fact that the "trial" iu question was only the usual pre- liminary examination before a D:agistrato, what you think of the statements made by your oerrospondeut, "the evidence given by the boy and to:contradicted (the italics aro mine) convinced all present that the prison- or was guilty and deserved the punishment that was iuflioted." * * * "There was sufficient to convict the prisoner, &o." Now, Mr.Editor, you know, and your correspond- ent knows, 101. That the evidonge could not at the trial before the Magistrate be eoutra'. dieted, because no evideuoe for the defence is taken. 2nd, That the prisoner was not puaialud and could,not be so by the Diagis. traces, but simply committed to stand his trial at the first court of competent juris- diction, and I think, 'therefore, that I am justified in saying, without going farther, that the account was, as T say, false, end knowingly false, and should never have found a plan iu'your well-conducted papec to the incalculable injury of ono who is, I believe, ins000nt of the crime °barged. I feel that it is my duty to paos°cute for libel the writer of this most antrageous article and also to endeavor to have tho proper stops takenfor hie punishment for contempt of Court and I have therefore to request that you will kindly insect thie communica- tion in your next issue, and else sued at onto, to my Solicitors, Messrs. \Vada & Sin• glair, Brnesols, tine name of your correspond- ent, in order that the proper stops may be taken against him, instead' of against your- self ,which I should otherwise bo compelled to do. Yours truly, Anaaaiar JAalreois, Sept. 21st, 1886. Iflugvale," tYi'tLrrbr oOIt. Council meeting to•dny (Friday) at Dames' hotel, J, C.
