Those Letters.
[to the editor.] Sib, —About those letters of Mr Arthur's to the Chief Judge. Will he contradict them ?— or are they true? After reading them over it seemed to me that Arthor didn’t want a Judge to deal with the Tokomaru arrangements
Who could not hit it with his chum Porter. Porter had the job in hand, and it would have been a pity—from Arthur's point of view—to spoil the little game. I don’t suppose the elector* are fools enough to return Arthur. But isnlt it a crooked thing for a gentleman to write to a Judge about a case the Judge may have to decide ? If it is not—wall—if I should happen to be hauled before Mr Booth, I'll drop him a note ala Arthur, and ask him to stay away. Nothing like having a friend on the bench.—l am, etc, Ovxbdbatt,
