A PROTEST
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —With reference to the recent Police Court case in which 1 appeared, it was stated by the solicitor for tho prosecution that the lady referred to was employed by mo for about a month, and then withdrew from my employment for personal reasons. I beg to say that this statement was incorrect. Tlie lady was employed by me for nearly five months, and only loit my employment when I gave up my shop. Further, instead of keeping the lady ■regularly until a late at hour at night, I, on dark nights alllowed her to leave her work at about 5 o’clock p.m. Re the Magistrate’s decision, 1 would point out that the same does not appear to coincide with the law of evidence. Again, it seems incorrect to mu’et a defendant in costs when a case is dismissed, as occurred in the second summons against me, heard on the same day. I may say that at the next opportunity I intend to seek pleetion to Parliament, and as a candidate shall be able to express my opinion moro freelv. —I am, etc., J. G’DOAYD.
