To the Editor of Tan PORT.
In response to your Morris oorrespond.
ent'a version of the Halliday raid in which
he oomplaoently compares the boys north
of Brussels to savages and rowdies, and
valiantly defends the rights of the. poor
people so much in need of a man around
the premises. Would ha like the position
we ask him? Perhaps he has occupied it
when lie knows so much about their affairs,
but an 000usional visit on the part of your
moralizing correspondent oould not possi.
bly give him any conception of tho intoler-
able nuisance those poor people have be-
come (and they are continually getting
worse) to the neighborhood where they ex-
ist and which has so long supported them
in indolence though not luxury so we
forgive lain. But while not wishing to
champion the boys and men north of the
Tillage of Brussels.: or the cause of
any class engaged in outrage, whatever the
necessity let him remember this case has
had a hearing and if he further imputes
guilt to parties proven innocent his defence
of the Halliday family, whether in person
or in print, may find his position a very
very sultry one too. .The Halliday family,
Sir, would not, if their conduct were the
same, bo tolerated among the savages to
which ho refers and why should they in a
community to which your moralist would
bo no great credit anyway.
Yours, .Ossanvlta.
