SCOTT V. WILLIAMS.

To the Editor of the Evjning Stab. *jib,—The unaccuracy of your report of the above trial, in your issue of yesterday, conveys a very different aspect from that which it ought to wear. In the first place, you never mate any meutiou of the con versation which transpired between myself and Scott, on the day my year of tenancy expired; which went to show that Scott would not allow me a future term, except at an additional rental from that which I was then paying. Secondly, you never make any mention 'of a notice to quit, served on me by Scott, bearing date sth July, served on the 11th, and authorisieg me to clear out on the 26th, which clearly shows that Scott never looked on me in any other light than that of the weekly tenant. This notice I refused to obey, as having paid the rent every four weeks, enabled me to at least, one months notice. Thirdly: You state that Thomas Payne was called to show that the defendant paid the same amount of monthly rent. Now sir, Thomas Payne did nothing of the kind, he proved to having accompanied the .defendant to plaintiffs residence in Shelly Beach on the morning of the 30th January; and was present when I tendered Soott ono month's rent (in accor dance with a notice served on him); and also, the koy of the premises which the plaintiff Scott positevely denied in the witness-box.

I am, &0.,

A. M. Williams.

RIDING A BICYCLE ON A TIGHT ROPE.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —Allow me to correct any erroneous impression you may have made upon the Auckland public, by stating the above feat was never attempted by Blondin, with his world-renowned popularity. I myself, (one amongst thousands), witnessed in the latter part of 1869, Blondin's won derful performance, riding a bicycle on a tight-rope, stretched the whole width of the centre transept of the Crystal Palace, at Sydenham, at a height of 40 feet, and the distance about 300 feet. He not only traversed forwards, but backwards, and seemed quite as much at home as the subscriber on a
